I’m sorry for the delay in posting something up. I’ve been so out of it with drugs and pain that I’ve really done much of anything, and then technology decided to become the enemy so I couldn’t upload a Facebook update or blog post. Alas,ย here it is. Still can’t function too well or See totally straight do apologise in advance. Surgery went ok, all things considered. Day 5 now and back on oxygen as I’m having some trouble breathing, but I did get out of the bed for a brief walk around the room. I’m hoping to try a shower tomorrow even though it feels like an impossibility at the moment given the pain when moving. It’s a very exhausting, depressing and lonely situation. I hope this is me dine for hospitals and ops now. I’ll try to post and to catch up on reading other blogs again once I’m home, which I’m hoping may be in a couple more days. Thank you all for your positive thoughts and kind wishes…I hope you’re all well.xx

I am glad you are on the mend. Here’s hoping you will be out and about sharpish but remember to take it slow x
Thanks, Stephie. I’m in agony at the moment, which reminds me I have no choice but to take it slow, so that’s good in one respect. I know I’ll need the reminder in a week or two though if I feel a little better and get restless! Thanks for the comment ๐
Glad to hear your operation went well ๐ I find that blogging inevitably takes a backseat from time to time – especially when I’m feeling less than 100% and rest > blogging. I feel you on the showering issue; about three years ago I caught glandular fever, and showering/ anything that involved being upright for more than a few minutes was a nightmare as I just didn’t have the energy for it.
Oh dear, you’ve been through it as well then! I hope you made it through the glandular fever without any additional complications. I think this is why they invented wet wipes – the shower in a towelette form for when your body can “do” showering! x
I think I got off fairly lightly with glandular fever – I was drained for a few months, but I’ve not had any long-term problems. Wet wipes are an absolute lifesaver (I always take a packet camping in case the showers are too gross to use, haha!)
Hi, glad to hear that all seems to have gone well. Best wishes for your continued recovery, and hope that your health improves. You’ve had quite a time of it!
Well done on making it through another op. I can’t even begin to imagine how tough it’s been for you but you’re a fighter and I hope that this is the last time you ever have to go through this. Solid effort on posting even while zombified! Hang tough and keep us all updated, I know my thoughts are with you on a speedy recovery. Take care, Ed
Hope you are doing well now.
Had a few problems with an infection and then a bug, so I’m rather rough but getting there slowly. Thank you for your comment, and I hope you’re well too ๐
I was digging through your archives and saw this one… Awww I’m glad you’re much better now ๐
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to take a look through old posts too! ๐

Just saw this now, Caz โ am so glad youโre better & that youโve made it thru. Am wondering – do you look thru past posts & see how far youโve come? Is it heartening? You are a lovely soul. <3
I actually don’t really look through older posts, unless I’m thinking of revamping content somehow. I probably do need to take stock of the past couple of years really, which have become quite a muddle and have gone very quickly, to appreciate everything that’s happened, where I’m at now, where I’m going.. I guess we all could use that ‘life review’ type thing every now and again to get some perspective. It’s incredibly kind of you to say I’m a lovely soul, I’m honestly touched by that – thank you! ๐ xxxx
