Don your capes and stick your undies on over your trousers for the BESH superhero thread

NC optional but not essential. Create your tag line and describe your outfit in detail. Wanna be BESH superheroes must prove their might by undergoing a gruelling set of tasks completing the BESHtionnaire hidden elsewhere in old threads
Fly on in and make yourself at home in our obviously secret lair :)

dor you're making me wonder if we do the sechs wrong?

Yes it's defiitniely an indignity. Like making him wear a flashing badge that says My swimmers might go in curcles

norf it depends if they think you're ready and if you get a review by the docs before the morning. Sounds like you're making good progress though!

So far I'm having a luffly birthday. We had to picnic on the living room floor but DNephew thought it was brilliant! Helped me blow out the candles on the cake :) just having a little rest before I go to collect MSB and we do dinner and cinema. Fun fun fun!

Sounds good norf. Peeing a good sign- I managed to get a tough of urinary retention post catheter when I had my lap and dye- still managed to get home with a bit of creative storytelling to the staff (GHJ did threaten to not drive me back later if it all went a bit wrong though.)

The only prob might be getting a senior enough doc to review you before tomorrow. But, the nhs is always desperate for beds..

So, my supa powa is follicle production in a way that would make sticky Vicky proud (Tenerife, or was it magaluf- the entertainer. Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about). Yours is amaze-balls surgery recovery skillz. Awesome.

They have agreed to consider me for discharge tonight.

They are very impressed with my wees. I am so proud. The wee I just handed in has blood in it though. Are they going to worry about that? I can't tell if it is vaginal (ie the womb lining is now falling away as expected) or urethral (ie I might have some sort of urine infection).

Happy birfday, faify! Picnic sounds ace, and what a lovely early birthday present you had :)

That's good news norf. Re blood in urine - could be either or it could be just that catheters can cause a bit of trauma. It should settle.

We are off to dinner/cinema now :)

What to see?? And eat?? Hospital food is blee. Let me live vicariously.

To see - Batman. To eat - to be confirmed but I'm leaning towards Nandos. Mmm I love that chicken! :)

Lucky... I had minging chicken chasseur, that was basically a bowl of peas with half an inch of chicken in, and a small soggy potato.

I need to PM Kat, I've still got her CBFM but it's going to be useless for me on this new treatment. If she's happy I can pass it on to another BESH.

Glad you are recovering Norf. The chasseur doesn't sound quite like the curry you were hoping for though.

TBI passed his driving test a couple of weeks ago which is great but getting the bus home from work not so fun. at least I have a seat, the first one was packed and didn't stop so I was cursing it but then a nice empty one followed it. And I am getting to catch up on BESHness so no complaints really.

I suddenly want Nandos now Faith has mentioned it.

Fingers crossed they discharge you tonight Norf, just make sure you take it easy [stern face]

Belated Happy Birthday faithy, welcome to 31 Enjoy your meal and film.

It was ruddy yummy :) sorry norf just having a drink, film starts in half an hour.

I think you're alright bugs. We get what you mean. Sometimes it feels like we are waging a war and that tye of thing is our artillery.

Happy birthday Faif.

Hurrah for northey's wees!

I am v low today. V low. Can someone please be funny?

Sorry for the barge in, but for reasons I don't want to admit on a BESH thread I, ahem, don't need my CBFM anymore and would be happy to send it on to anyone who would like it.

I have followed the BESH/PESH/CRESH threads for ages and at heart consider myself a bit of a BESH (current situation and butter dishing my first child aside). Ok, that makes it sound like I'm not BESHy at all, but what I mean is I am elderly, bitter, a bit sweary and can't bring myself to put kisses at the end of my posts.

Anyway, I can't claim this CBFM is particularly lucky as I only used it for number 2 (and a MMC) and on the month I won with this one I didn't even get a PEAK reading, but I'd love to help out a BESH if I can.

Am too fucking knackered to want any more after this, so it is free to a good home and free to pass on when the first lucky recipient is diffed.

PM me if you want it.

ps, sorry Northey that you're having such a shit time. Truly fucking unfair

Then why the dickens didn't you come in and introduce yourself? Hello!

I have one already, though it has stopped asking me for stix - even the machine knows I am barren. BESH - proceed with caution. They won't make you diffed :)

Your writing style is familiar iwanttogothere

Have been discharged and am really really massively regretting it. Have stupidly stupidly embarked on a three hour journey, have burst into tears on a train and tomorrow have to attend a stupid lunch thing whilst pretending that nothing at all is wrong. I can't stand up, sit down, or walk without wincing. It feels like my incision is being ripped open. I should be back in bed with my morphine drip, not preparing to spend 12 hour tomorrow being jolly. What the fuck have I done?

Sorry aries, that wasn't the cheer you were looking for.

Shit Northey, that's not ideal. Can you turn round and go home?

This is the problem, blonde. It's not entirely clear where home is. The house nearest the hospital is my parents' house, and I really don't want them to know anything about this. My own house is too much of a journey. The place we're heading is halfway between, the house of AMNH's parents, who are hosting this bastard lunch with my parents tomorrow. I really wish I had stayed in hospital and never embarked on this lunacy.

Also, I have to go back to hospital on Sunday for a blood test and to pick up my sick note. Before and after the op, the consultant said 4-6 weeks, but the doctor who discharged me just now said a week. I told her what he had said and she said she would look into it, but I was really depending on 4 weeks. I can't do a week. It's just nothing. What do I do?

DON'T GO NORTH. FFS woman you have just had surgery. Take as much as you need.

GAs make you exhausted and weepy even without what has just happened. Do I have to come over there?

Re: the telling the family thing. Well, I cannot comment on anyone else's relationships, but mine with my mother has never been particularly easy. And my sister and I are insanely competitive (unfortunately she grew larger breasts AND conceived before me, the bitch). Anyway, yesterday I emailed them both and told them everything but fobade them to make a fuss. You know what? They were lovely. I will probably regret it at times, but at the moment I just feel relieved they know. TRouble is, you can't take it back.

Ten minutes till I'm there. And then a cab ride.

This is one of those situations where I really wish AMNH would take charge and not just take my word for it that things are fine. I wish he had told me not to be so bloody stupid and had dealt with the whole party thing for me.

Feign illness of something Norf, you can't put yourself through this added stress [stern look, hands on hips]
