WE ARE ALIVE!!!!!

Well Hello There, I'm Back!!!

The opp went very well for us both, although my sister has the shoulder pain and is being sick every time she gets up! poor thing, I feel so guilty as I have hardly any pain, I just feel like I have gone ten rounds in a boxing ring and been punched in the stomach a few times, but other than that I am very well, I keep nodding of to sleep which is better than not being able to sleep.

We arrived just after 7am, Had to give some blood, then we had to go and have a little chat with the anesthetist, it was the same questions over and over again which is good I suppose to make sure they have the right person, I wouldn't like to wake up and find I have acquired a penis..or had a nose job LOL.

We were then shown through to the ward, we had a double room which was great to be together, our opps were scheduled for 12.00 (me) and 1pm for my sis. The surgeon came round and asked us the questions AGAIN... he is a lovely man. We shook hands and off he went.

Surgery was running late and I didn't go down until 1:40, From there on I don't remember too much, I don't know what time my sis went down as she was gone when I got back to the room. I know I couldn't rest properly until I knew my sis was ok, every time someone walked into the room I asked 'is my sis ok' I have no idea what time had passed between each question, it may have been minutes or only seconds I can't tell they probably got fed up of me asking, I however do not care!!!, then in she came being wheeled in on her bed, 'are you ok sis' and I heard a little moan which i had to translate...and it was, 'yes I am absolutely chipper' then we both went to sleep.

I am now pleased to be home and wrapped in the love of my family, feeling a bit silly about being so frightened, but hey! we have to get over these things.

I also want to thank all of you wonderful ladies that have left the most wonderful comments, it is so nice to see people I have never meet can be so caring, Thank you all again.
