November Buddies

Aww cookie must be awful frustrating :( literally sofa bound. But hey you couldn't take it any easier if you tried.

Would help if the other half didn't just spill most of the remainder of my bio oil lol!

Iv over done it on tramadol today have felt awful sick and headache over last hour or so. Anti-sickness has kicked in and feeling better now, Yuck iv not felt that ill in so long.

If you can do without the tramadol and just take paracetamol it really would be better for you hun. The effects of that stuff are often worse than the discomfort of your BA! Hope you feel better soon sweetness xx

Oh cookie I'm just gonna stick to paracetamol now. My head was all over the place earlier & felt sick. Is it best to avoid ibuprofen?xox

It's best to avoid ibufrofen this early post-op sweetness. They act as a blood thinner so can sometimes do more harm than good lovely.

If the paracetamol isn't enough then maybe just take the tram adobo when you really need it babe, or just at night so you can sleep through with it? Hopefully you'll be ok without though. I know it made me feel so ill I was sick. I really don't like that stuff. Xx

I think il just take it when I really need it and just 50mg not 100mg. Yucky! Thanks cookie, your a star :) xoxo

No problem gorgeous xx

Glad you said about the Ibuprofen, that what I was planning on taking as paracetamol never seems to do anything when i take it and i thought ibuprofem would be good for the swelling x

Argh I cant spell today, sorry :/

It is babe, but you dont just have swelling....as you have a fresh wound and it thins the blood it's best not to take it to avoid a bleed hun. Xx

No probs, thanks :)

ah no you cant get about yet Cookie? Must be really hard x

GOOD LUCK, wish next Tuesday would hurry up for mine but right now I just wish tomorrow would hurry up and be over and then I have finished work and can pack!! Are you a day case or overnight stay? Have you packed yet? X

Thanks chick, I haven't packed yet, just in the process.

Im a day case but they still said to pack pyjamas and slippers?

Got mags (really trying not to read them now lol) make-up (for after surgery), deodrant, baby wipes, lip balm, hairbrush. My mahooosive bras lol and thats about it hun!!

wearing my tracksuit and uggs to be comfy!

How about you?

I'm an overnight stay but taking pretty much the same. Taking snacks too as I'm a fussy eater and there food will probably be the same as healthy hospital food lol!! And my mobile charger so I will have enough charge to be on this site the whole time haha!
X

There's a mcdonalds around the corner from my hospital, my OH will be on marching orders if the food is rank lol

Mobile charger!! Good idea! Forgot about that!
Just had my phone call to confirm what time im in....10am!! Eeeeeek!!!

xxx

Eeek do you live close by? Sending my hubby to get me food would of been my plan but I am going alone as my hubby has the kids to look after and my mum is working :(

It's very hard hun I have an autoimmune disorder that out me in hospital for six months last year and I've been stuck in a wheel chair since. I can get about a few steps on crutches which is great for me getting around the house because although I have a motorised wheelchair it's like playing bumper cars in that when I get home lol. But because I can't bare any weight on my upper body I can't use my crutches, nor can I lift myself from chair to wheelchair so I'm stuck on the sofa till so me one is home to help me.

It's a very difficult time and I really wasn't prepared for this bit, but when ou have a BA I think you should be prepared for anything after lol and I just have to get on with it reall... Well I don't have any choice do I hahaha.

Nikki and Ciantwo - definitely take something with you like to eat. I was an overnight case had my surgery first thing in the morning.and dint have anything but a cheese toastie to eat. No elaborate dinner like a lot of girls have, that's all I had all day! And tea and toast for breakfast. I packed sandwiches for hubby and ended up having to eat them myself as I was starving lol. So do make sure you've got something nice with you.

Not long now!

Hope you recover and get more mobile soon Cookie, it must be hard for you! Thanks for the tip on food, I presumed I would be offered a proper meal but already decided I prob won't like it lol! X

You should be. I arrived first thing and was given a lunch menu which I requested the cheese toastie on. I had to go back to surgery because i had a heamatoma so missed lunch. I wasn't given a menu for dinner and got the toastie I'd ordered for lunch! Ew! Hubby ate that because he'd eat anything lol. And I ate the sandwiches I made, slit was lucky I made them. Xx

I second that cookie, hope you become more mobile soon, must be so frustrating!

Im hoping for a mcdonalds as there's one round the corner from the hospital but iv just been told by my co-ordinator that my OH won't be allowed in recovery with me for the 4-6 hours im in there....that's unusual isn't it??

So no yummy meals delivered by my handsome man :-( more to the point...no handsome man with me in recovery :-( xxx

Thanks girls . Xxx

Maybe ask the day case girls on the forum Nikki?

I've only ever been an overnight stay so I can't really comment on day case procedure. I was overnight and my hubby didn't leave my side. He was allowed to stay with me in my room until 9.30pm. Xx

I am overnight but I was told by my clinic that its like hospital visiting hours and he would only be able to visit between 6-8 so that's why I'm not fussed about going alone, don't want him to be bored!x

Possibly different hospital policy? I've 3 times had overnight stay with Transform and my husband has been able to stay in my room the entire time till 9.30 xx

That's good, I think I would of pushed for him to be able to come if I knew he could of stayed with me. I think I will be more hardy and less of a wimp on my own though tbh as I have to be strong :)
