Yeah if I don't receive anything tomorrow through the post I shall phone :) silly me getting all worked up over an appointment! Thanks Cookie x

by **COOKIE** 21st November 2013, 6:57 pm

You're not silly at all Lydia. We all get anxious when our date gets close and if everything isn't ticked off on the run up to your BA then its totally understandable that you're going to be concerned babe - so the call should help to reassure you and let you know what's going on. Xx

by tinkerbell24 21st November 2013, 7:54 pm

from now until your BA you will think that your asking silly questions or feeling anxious over nothing but trust me, we have ALL been there so ask away or even if you need to chit chat we are here too xx

by Lydia2708 21st November 2013, 7:59 pm

Thank you both! Making me feel sane :) I'm just on the countdown now wish it was here already! Xx

Mrs cc Kat @ The spire little Aston 8 Days left!! dance

by **COOKIE** 22nd November 2013, 11:19 am

8 days Lydia! That a week tomorrow! Woohooooooo! yahoo

by Lydia2708 22nd November 2013, 11:28 am

I know!! Iits getting more real now! & my letter has arrived from the hospital but it says an appointment has been made for you to attend for mrsa swabs!? X

by **COOKIE** 22nd November 2013, 11:44 am

Don't worry about those, they just swab your mouth and your groin area. Its nothing invasive Lydia so you've nothing to worry about.

Its a standard test generally for those who work in hospitals or have been in hospital in the last 6 months although some swab all their patients to ensure no-one has MRSA before admitting them to their own hospitals

Nothing to worry about babe. Xx

by Lydia2708 22nd November 2013, 11:45 am

Confused me a bit as I thought it was just general tests.. And I'm starting to get more and more nervous :( x

by **COOKIE** 22nd November 2013, 12:00 pm

That's just the 'pre-op jitters' Lydia. Type that into the search box top right of the forum and you'll see you're not alone babe. This is very common on the build up toward the final hurdle to get to your BA.

You'll be fine though babe. We mostly all get the pre-op jitters, its sort of comes hand in hand when having a BA and you may have read also about this being an emotional roller coaster, well it is.. Its full of ups and downs Lydia but the final prize is well worth it gorgeous - I promise Hug

by Lydia2708 22nd November 2013, 12:19 pm

I hope so! I've been on this site every single day now reading everyone's stories my nan keeps telling me off as I'm reading the ones that have gone not quite to plan huh smiley

by **COOKIE** 22nd November 2013, 12:23 pm

LOL@your nan.

To be honest Lydia, I personally think its so, so important to read the bad sides of this surgery as well as the good. Its VERY important to know that having a BA does not come risk free, so if you've done your research and read up as you're doing if anything were to happen and you needed revision (but let's hope you never do) you'll at least be prepared and know what's going on and how to deal with it.

Always best to be fully informed I think but please do give your nan a hug from me bless her Hug

Xx

by Lydia2708 22nd November 2013, 12:28 pm

That's what I said to her! I'd rather know both sides rather than go into this expecting it to be perfect because nothing is perfect she's just old bless her :) difficult at times going through all this with such a huge age gap between me and them need mom to hurry up and get here on Thursday
I'll give her a hug from you I always read her the replies that everyone has posted on here except I won't read this one Blush

by Lydia2708 24th November 2013, 9:01 pm

Thank you Hun, just nervous as to be expected keep worrying that something is going to go wrong. I actually wish the day will hurry up so u can get it over and done with.. 6 days left! X

by Lydia2708 25th November 2013, 5:01 pm

Hi all off to have my pre-op assessment and for some stupid reason I'm nervous about that! Silly Lydia x

by louise28 25th November 2013, 5:42 pm

Lydia, I had mine today as well and I couldn't believe how nervous I was, or maybe it was nerves for Tink I was feeling, following her journey has been so inspirational. I was para today though that I have diseases when she was taking the swabs, lol.good luck, keep us posted.x

by **COOKIE** 25th November 2013, 6:25 pm

Congratulations Louise! dance

Lydia, you'll do fine babe, its just a bunch of questions regarding your medical history, some pre-op pics and possibly some tests 'if' felt necessary based on your medical history.

If you're fit and healthy and haven't been in hospital for the last six months then tests 'generally' aren't necessary at all babe.

Let us know how you get on xx

by Lydia2708 25th November 2013, 6:34 pm

Well why was I so nervous that was ok! I think I made the nurse laugh when she swabbed my groin and I came out with I wish I waxed! Not too bad at all really friendly staff so I'm sure Saturday will be a breeze xx

by Lydia2708 25th November 2013, 6:40 pm

She didn't ask me anything at all just handed me my hibiscrub and swabbed me for mrsa I presume they'll do the rest on the day x

by **COOKIE** 25th November 2013, 6:40 pm

Yay! Another step closer now Lydia just 5 days to go! yahoo

Xx

by Lydia2708 25th November 2013, 6:42 pm
