Grouchy Never have a heart to throw gifts out then one day you look at them and can't even remember who gave it to you or when then it save to give away

TheMadHouse · 18/06/2009 16:09

Starbear - basically I have a spelling mistake in the BRACA1 gene, which is the gene that controls breast cancer, ovarian, peritoneal and some other cancers too.

This means I had an 85% lifetime risk of Breast Cancer and a 60% risk of ovarian and the other cancers.

My mum is the only femal member of the family who has got to 54 withour having anytype of cancer and the only female to live to 65 and

So I have an oophorectomy in July 2008 (ovaries and tubes removed) to reduce my risk of those cancers. I had colonoscopy and gasgoscopy to check those areas was having a double mastectomy and reconstruction in Feb.

It was then that things went drastiocally wrong I had a reaction to the impalants had to have them revmoved along with affected tissue and skin. Then I got septicemia and almost died

I have been left with really emotional issues and feelins about the way I look. I feel butchered. DH find it difficult to look at the area let alone touch it

So I need some help to come to terms with what has happened and learn some techniques to enable me to accept that this has happened and this is the way I am going to be for the forseable future, if not forever.

Sorry if that turned into an essay. It hurts to be left like this, even though I did it for all the right reasons, to be with my precious fam,ily for longer. It doesnt stop me feeling mutulated .

Sorry to go on.

Hello, everyone
Bsck from hairdressser's and school library - feeling more glam now
HSM downstairs, Thunderbirds upstairs! Dh is in charge. Ds2 is playing kick rounders at school till 4.30
Bought nail varnish remover

To do
rest of things on am list
pay elec bill

Scatty I thought it was Joseph not P P?

LBB - I hope you had a rest and did NOT wipe down toys.

TMH Ithink you should reward yourself for a difficult day by just settling down with boys and doing nothing for a little bit.

Laura, congratulations on the sweet little cousin for your dcs.

swanriver · 18/06/2009 16:25

I think anyone who has even had a caesarian or a difficult birth would comprehend how you feel TMH (even if only a tiny bit of comprenhension). You never really get over that feeling of being violently attacked by surgery, it is there deep down, although you are eternally grateful for surviving and having your baby, babies. I remember having all these bad issues after ds and being given Staphygysria by a homeopath then looking it up and realising it was a cure for someone who had been attacked. It was if my body remembered even if my brain didn't.
That's why I hated swimming (and dentists)for so long after dcs - the cold water was like something I had to fight off.
It really helped me to realise eventually my body was still there, it still worked, it still did lots of things I needed it too, even if it was changed.
I don't know if that helps

TMH x
swan I did a bit of both in the end.

Do all you guys do the detailed cleaning? So not ready for that yet!

scattyspice · 18/06/2009 16:39

That was well put swan. Mad - your feelings are totally understandable (though I'm sure that doesn't make them any easier to deal with).

Swan - it was Joseph, until I found out that it finished on May 30th (I think they are touring the country in the Autumn though . We had even learned all the songs and got a book out of the lib to learn the story lol. Anyway dh found Peterpan on in Kensington Park so we're aiming for that .

I have been doing well with money this month I used the FACE journal on FLYLADY website to work out bugets for things and have stuck to it so far. Prof - First Direct sends a bank balance via txt every week.

Done:
phone call
reboot laundry

best crack on.

Thanks lady's for the comments.

Swan I totally understand the c-section comparision, as I had a crash section with DS1.

I am OK and they think I am handling things well - its just I am so aware of my PND and how that effected family life - cant get that bad again.

Normally I look at the boys and all is OK, but they are being little monsters

MaggieTulliver · 18/06/2009 18:08

Mad - they are probably being little monsters as mummy is a bit sad and they dont know what's what at the moment. It will pass, all of it, eventually. Might just need a bit of help.

Prof - love that tattoo pic.

Our school is incredibly slack and seems to have given up on it. Are we off curriculum already? And tomorrow is mufti day we just have to bring alcohol.
Duvet trailing here, ds2 hs come in with his "parachute" rather like a cat bringing in ia dead mouse and laying it at my feet.

scattyspice · 18/06/2009 18:35

Bring alcohol? To school? very relaxed !

TheMadHouse · 18/06/2009 18:37

I would need one more like the woman on the left

I am currently pmsl at DS2 singing "shake, shake, shake your willies out" instead of sillies out and giving his willie a good old shake

Starbear · 18/06/2009 18:54

Mad I cannot imagine how you feel. I'm a misarable so and so and the only thing wrong with me is that I'm a poor speller, a bit chubby and hate work!
Now for the next bit.... you must not let the children see Have you thought about fantasy role play (no don't look at me that way!) You could be a Amazon warrior and your DH could be an Athenan that you've captured. A bit Xenia warrior princess. You will need to get a nice costume! He can just wear a Toga! I love that sort of thing but it takes a few drinks for my DH to get into the spirit he has a go if he wants some action. Strange all my ex's really went for it that could be why they are ex's Anyway that my FLY tip of the day

Evening all

I have spent the evening chatting and cuddling DH. I have discussed the prospect of a tatoo with him and he is OK with that. I actually really like the idea and will give it a lot of though over the next couple of months

Loads of flying to do tomorrow, so I am off to shake my willie out

Starbear · 18/06/2009 23:02

Isn't funniest thing when little kids are a little bit rude. It's the lovely cheeky look on their face that cracks me up!
Goodnight, DH is down the pub now, I'm going to watch Madmen

Jas · 19/06/2009 07:42
