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.

The teens are all away at respite this weekend so I'll only see them Sunday evening before disappearing again, Elliot get most upset cos he thinks I'm going to die. He ends phone call from me in hospital, I'm so glad you're not dead today mom.
It's hard for them to understand it all.
I've had carers coming in and sleeping over whilst I've been in hospital Toms covered the other nights, he really is such a laid back guy, he takes his lads for the weekend in the camper van, Elliot and Max love it they sleep in the pop up roof, were hoping to go to a music festival with the lads, Toms booked the tickets 1st august I am determined to go!

Glad your DS enjoyed the festival even with a dodgy eye.
I feel really rubbish today, temp 38.2 I'm trying to get it down to avoid having to go back in for IV ABs.
Tom is off for a few days and is looking after me well and keeping an eye on my temperature, not long until Monday when hopefully I shall be stoneless, fingers crossed!

Hello!
Short post,dodgy signal and being knackered. Com

Will know more tomorrow but they think they have it all out.
They've discovered I have high platelets, top end of normal is 400, mine are 660. More tests I guess.

mummylin2495 · 23/06/2014 17:35

Hi OJ glad it looks to be successful. Are you staying in tonight. What significance does your platelets have ? Have a good nights rest, hope you soon feel back in the real world again !

Surgeon said there was lots of sludgy gritty stone that was hoovered out, no sign of the piece spotted last week, i may have passed it it or may have a new hiding place.
My limited good says high platelets can be a marker from lots of things, not just blood related things like leukaemia, I'm sure it couldnt be that, I've been in hospital 5 times and have blood test etc every day, it can be caused by renal failure, so I think it's more likely to be that. It's good that they

Check things out.
As for going home Wednesday at the earliest. Fingers crossed, Abbey and Bethan break up from college then, I feel bad that I couldn't go to the open days/evenings with them, Carers took them for me.
How are you doing?

NormaStanleyFletcher · 23/06/2014 21:11

Hey OJ.

GLAD they got it all out. Hope you can escape soon.

mummylin2495 · 23/06/2014 22:43

Lets hope that the other bit of stone has gone and not hiding! What a shame you had to miss your girls college evenings, but for you at the moment your health is so important. Roll on Wednesday ! Wishing you a good recovery Thanks

mummylin2495 · 24/06/2014 12:02

Hope you are feeling a bit better today OJ and that plans for going home tomorrow are on track

NormaStanleyFletcher · 25/06/2014 04:40

Hello norma, Mummylin and viva, they let me out!
No urine bag and no stone, now to recover, so pleased to be in my own bed, at last, I'm still in a morphine haze so this may make no sense at all!
Thanks for everybody's support, it's been a nightmare 5 months but you've really kept me going, thank you Thanks
