Blueberry Salsa

Nice, simple recipe from OM Project. Healthy too!

I’ve Lost My Voice

Yes folks, I’ve lost my voice.

Master Maximus had the biggest grin across his face this morning when he realised.

I have a bad cold too. I just want to curl up and hibernate until summer.

But, I can’t, so here are a some giggles on me! 🙂

When You Think You’re a Badass

…and you think “I’m fine, I can handle this”, but you have to go from this

…to this, because the pain from your surgery became too much to bear.

I found myself at the walk-in clinic yesterday, swollen and in agony. Whether I stood or sat, the pain was awful. Thankfully I was classed as an emergency and was seen to pretty quickly. I am so grateful for the doctor I saw. She was brilliant.

The higher dosage Co-codamols work a lot better, although they make me have to eat, otherwise my stomach hurts. Not a bad thing I guess! At least I can move around more than I could before (although I must not over do it), and can just about catch up with Max and his shenanigans.

Surgery Complete

Thankfully, it went well yesterday.

Now the anaesthesia has worn off, I am experiencing some pain, but I am trying to grit my teeth and get on with it. The surgeon was not impressed with me that I had not arranged for someone to collect Max from preschool, but instead, was going to pick him up myself. I am supposed to take it easy as it will take approximately two to four weeks to heal. Thing is, I had not seen my son since 6.40 am that morning, and was missing him real bad. I told the surgeon that I was up and about just one day after I had a caesarean, so I will be fine. Besides, what he does not know, is that my ex-husband smacked me about just a few days after – so much so, I thought the stitches from the caesarean had burst. If I can survive that level of excruciating pain, I can survive this. I do understand and appreciate his concerns though.

With swollen knees, these are the fabulously fashionable (not!) socks I have to wear for two to four weeks to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Unfortunately, none of my clothing covers this amount of ugly!

Anyway, I hope everyone is OK.

Pre-Assessment

So… as well as looking after a sick Max, I went to the hospital for my pre-assessment yesterday. I will be having an operation on Wednesday (19th October).

The ECG result was fine. Hopefully, there will be no problem with my blood works.

I cannot wait for it to be over.

All I want to do is cuddle my little boy.
