I have yet another lump in my breast.

I have a doctors appointment at 4.40.
I've had three previous lumps removed, last one was six years ago. They were all fibroid adenomas.
I'm already very ill and waiting for an op to remove a kidney stone.
Please cross fingers fanjos and norks that this will be ok.

Thinking of you, and hope all goes well tomorrow.

Another old timer with name change crossing fingers for you OJ x

mummylin2495 · 02/06/2014 13:32

In my thoughts OJ, hope by now your op is over and you can now recover well.

mummylin2495 · 03/06/2014 18:15

Hope you are doing ok today OJ and you are recovering without problems from yesterday.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 05/06/2014 22:27

Been a bit of a nightmare, I'm still in hospital.
I ended up with sepsis but stayed out of ICU this time.
They've broken the stone up I've passed lots of bits!
They reversed the nephrostomy, within an hour I was in agony, they've had to put it back in.
I was only going to be in one or two nights!
I'm hoping I can go home tomorrow to sing happy birthday to my lovely girls.
I will need to recover at home from the sepsis and let my poorly kidney heal a bit then back within a fortnight to do it all again.

Oh my OJ your DC's cannot be that grown up! Grin

Sending you much love and strength Flowers

mummylin2495 · 06/06/2014 21:50

Oh my god OJ, what an awful time you have had, and to have to go back again must be very galling for you. That's a blow about the nephrostomy, hope they can remove it very soon. I did wonder if you had ben kept in and even checked Back on your posts to check that you had said it would probably be one night ! Wishing your girls a very happy birthday. Take it easy, hope you soon pick up again.

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 07/06/2014 09:26

Hope all goes as well as it can do for your time at home and return to hospital. Flowers

Yeah! I'm home I got home at 1pm, there were lots of hugs to catch up on, Abbey and Bethan have embraced their birthday, Tom did a champagne breakfast for them!
But best of all, a moment much awaited for the first time EVER Bethan spoke to me on the phone from hospital Grinmy eyes leaked a lot, in fact they are leaking again now.
Tonight we are having an Indian take away and more champagne!

I've only just seen this thread.

I'm glad you made it home but I absolutely refuse to believe that those twins of yours are 20! Elliot looks all grown up too. Shock

I hope you enjoy the rest of the day and that you're feeling as comfortable as it's possible to be after your hospital stay. Cake

How are you and your lovely family?

Hello. :)

I still post now and then but probably not as much as I used to.

Things are going well here at the moment, although I suspect that may well change when ds2 (11) hits the teenage years! :o

mummylin2495 · 09/06/2014 12:12

Hope your doing ok OJ and that you all enjoyed the girls birthdays.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 10/06/2014 21:45

hope you are doing ok OJ. glad the op wasn't too bad and you kept out of icu. Sorry they had to put the nephrostomy back.

I'm struggling to be pain free, oramorph is my friend, I'm to go back in if I get a temperature, bit hard to know that when it's so hot and muggy, I'm not allowed out of bed on my own due to low blood pressure, and all the paperwork involved in a fall Wink
I've not had the hospital summons which was to be within a week or two.
We've got tickets to see Paul weller, I need to be much Weller first.

mummylin2495 · 11/06/2014 22:35

I hope you will soon be allowed up OJ . Or does your blood pressure have to go up before this is allowed ? Is it the apt to remove the bag you are waiting for . When is your PW concert ?

My blood pressure is very low, when I stand it gets worse I get lightheaded and dizzy, I've had a few falls
I have to sit on the side of the bed for a while then get up slowly and hold/lean on someone or something ? I look about 80.
Trying to up my BP by drinking 3 litres of water a day.
This next op it to see what the blockage is, it could be damage to the kidney which should heal itself.
It could be some lurking stone bits.
It could be a growth blocking the kidney.
All will become clear with the next op and tests, I'm hoping to be bag free.
I've had this since January and will not miss it at all, I often wake in a puddle, it's not nice, though Tom is very lovely about sorting it out.

mummylin2495 · 13/06/2014 09:44

Hope blood pressure is improving OJ . Sounds like you still have quite a lot to go through . Hope you get your next apt through soon x
