Second op next week.

Thank goodness I'm over my last bout of illness because I received a call yesterday offering me the operation on my foot next Thursday. This time it's a smaller op as I'm only having a lump of bone (spur bone) taken off the big toe. Though a smaller op, it's still going to hurt, but I'll be glad to get it out of the way before a summer day arrives. (fingers crossed) Only two days antibiotics to go and so I should be fully recovered by pre-assessment on Monday.

Hope your cough has settled John and everyone else feeling well.

I thought there must be something up Glo, hope you are soon over the infection.
The op sounds like good news, summer is a way off yet so you'll have time to get over it by the time you need to wear your flip flops!
I'm still not out of the woods with my cough, I phoned the clinic yesterday and they said to come in and see the SOS doc on monday with a view to getting some different antis, we'll see.
good weekend everyone

Thursday's op went well but has left me a bit saddle sore and hungover. I was supposed to have a spinal block but after a few attempts to find the correct position on my spine it failed anyway and only numbed to just below my knees so he gave me a full anaesthetic. I'm glad it's over and on the way to feeling less sore.

I hope your new antibiotics have helped and you're feeling much better now John.

Anaesthetics are often worse than the surgery, and I hope you feel fully better soon. Drink plenty of water and flush it out of your system - that's the advice I get from my team!!
I had to go to my GP yesterday, because my neck decided to swell right up over night!! She said it was a lymph node reaction to the infection I still have, wish it would go away, the coughing is driving us NUTS!

Really sorry for you John. A bad cough wears everybody out. With all the trouble you're having fighting this infection they must surely find something soon that will work. Fingers crossed.

[john]

Cheers Glo, and fingers crossed for you too!
