I guess I start..
My cervix is on the outside, it can't all hang where it should and no manner of pelvic floor exercises or devises will get it back there.
I'm 41, one fab dd and wanted more but there you are, can't now can I?

This thread, hopefully, will be for those waiting, recovering or supporting

Oh waiting not you too pet!
Sympathy waves from sofa.
Actually just went back to bed for 3 hours there.

The A&E doctor asked about sex too and I could see dh was nearly ready to punch him .
Hope the magic of antibiotics work for you quickly

And you too Crem

Are either of you feeling any better this morning? Did you sleep well?

Hi
Clinging on to the edge here. Swelling started to subside a bit. Zeppelin tummy feeling going.
Slept ok but definitely feverish but that seems to have broken today too.
Tentatively is say I was a bit better

Hold on to that edge. At least you are going in vaguely the right direction.

fled hope you had a good day out today at the art exhibition. All the best for tomorrow. I will be thinking about you. Be brave. You will get through this . This time tomorrow, you will be on the mend and it will only get better.

I'm not there yet, but the bleeding has lessened so hopefully the antibiotics will work soon- still feel as though my body should perform better, it's seriously let me down
Good luck for tomorrow Fled, it will be over in a flash and your wonder what you worried about.
Xx

Crem and waiting, hope things are getting better for you both, you have both made me paranoid about infections so i still washing with hibiscrub makes me feel a little better.

Fled it will all be over soon and you wont look back

Think i have over done it the past 3 days have been out and about with friends not done much walking but still to much and seem to have lost my appetite that never happens to me..might just have to have a sofa day tomorrow

Sounds like a good idea spud.
Day doing followed by day off. Tis your body talkin to ya.

Dearest Fled, wishing you all the best for tomorrow and that it's all over before you know it. Thinking of you
X

Thank you everyone. Cat #2 was hit by a car last night so has taken my mind off impending surgery. He's brighter tonight but still not out of the woods

Fled I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I hope he's a toughie and he'll pull through ok. All the best for tomorrow. We'll all be thinking of you and wishing you well.

Hope everyone else is ok but there seem to be a lot of setbacks at the moment. Telly and tlc I think

Thinking of you today Fled

Oh thinking of you fled this morning.
Should be over now? Hope you are zonked out on the morphine and the whole experience was much less frightening that anticipated. Wishing you soothing hand holding

Hope poor puss is better too

Thanks overcome, how long is it after your op? Think cooking does take it out of you because of lifting the pans etc, that's the excuse I'm using in order to avoid it.
How's everyone else doing? And I must say this thread is great so to all.

Operation cock-up literally. Case notes lost. Back tomorrow morning for open surgery as can't so laparoscopic without notes. Enjoying egg sandwich and cuppa and repeat whole process tomorrow

Oh Fled that's horrible. I hope it hasn't knocked your confidence too much.

That's awful Fled, you should put in a complaint. What terrible service, someone should be looking v v hard for your notes!
Feel for you
Xx

Oh no fled thats not good does that mean they are going in the old fashioned way? Thats how mine was done, but don't worry just need to take it a bit easier to begin with and remember to take all the drugs the offer . Hope you get some sleep tonight.
Hi waiting i have been doing some cooking but getting hubby to lift/drain heavy pans and get things in and out of the oven, with a 7yr and 1yr old i feel i need to do something as gets has to do all the nappys i had my op just over 2 weeks ago.
Enjoying my sofa day, may start a christmas list and see what i need to do and buy, i at least need to keep my brain occupied.
Hope everyone else is having a good day.

what the actual fuck Fled?
am on your behalf

Fled how fucking stupid are they! Are they offering hope that if the notes are found you will revert to laparoscopic surgery? I sincerely hope so!

So very on your behalf

I get to do all my consultation, booking in, scans, blood and wee tests again on monday as the private lot have no faith in any information being transferred in time from the nhs team. (The hospitals are about 2 miles apart and as a mere patient i can't be trusted to take them with me)
Though you could be cynical like my dh and believe that it is a ploy to make a little more money

Can't believe that fled Was thinking of you all this morning. Did you manage to get any sleep whatsoever last night? Now you've got to go through all that worry again and it should be over.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Hope your cat is ok now.

Cat has bruised spine. Better today but wobbly. Will make a good recovery.

I'm drained/pissed off/emotional. Had to get general manager of hospital involved before they would sort it out. Were just going to send me home with another date sent out. Pointed out I've got 2 DC and DH has taken 4 wks off so not an option when they could fit me in fri or Monday.

Manager agreed so spent afternoon having pre-assessment redone and back in for 11 tomorrow to be first on afternoon list. Will put a complaint in as they knew notes have been missing since Monday. If the do appear overnight it will be a laparoscopic operation but otherwise open.

Does anyone know if you can get 3 cuts in the same place (prev gyn and c section) or will this one be a vertical incision?

Hope they are looking bloody hard for the notes. All the best for tomorrow. I'd have been devastated in your position, as I'm sure you are. I'll be thinking of you again.

Will update you all later but getting ready for attempt #2
