Finally a surgery date, this time next week....

I just wanted to let you, all my lovely readers know that I found out yesterday that my operation will be next Tuesday. I'm still in shock but I guess I shouldn't be as I've known for months that the day would finally come. I'm relieved that I don't have to wait any longer and that I will finally once again be pain free. But the truth is I'm absolutely terrified. I've never had any kind of surgery before so I guess it's the unknown that scares me. And of course the pain and the recovery post surgery. There is so much going through my mind. One of course being how much I'm going to miss my beautiful boys. But they'll be in capable hands, as will I and that's what I have to keep telling myself.

I have my admissions appointment at the hospital on Thursday so I'll find out a lot more then. And I'll be able to ask all of the questions I need. I'll probably be in hospital for 3-5 days and then I'll be going home to my parents to recover until I'm capable of doing it on my own.

For those that I know have followed my journey with this stupid back problem of mine I thank you for all of your concern and thoughtful messages. Finally the light at the end of the tunnel. And for those not up to speed I'll be having a Microdiscectomy which is basically where they remove a disc bulge in my spine. I had a fall as a teenager which did the initial damage and last year my back finally had enough and the disc gave way. So it's been a long twelve months of pain.


Yes, ouchies!!

I'll be online to post again before I go in to hospital.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week.

  3. Oh Beck, great news! Really, it is great news. I know you will be worried and nervous and that is totally normal. But you're doing the best thing for yourself long term. The short term pain and inconvenience can be worked through. It's wonderful to hear you've got good support too. I know the first thing I'd be concerned for are my boys, so understand that completely. Hope you can spend the time leading up to your surgery relaxing a bit if you can. Probably works out well it's around school holiday period too I guess. Anyway, take care and I'll look forward to reading your upcoming posts. Very happy for you :o) xo

    my mum had both knees done near Xmas last year and she tells me she still sits quietly now and thinks to herself how lovely it is to not be in pain anymore. I wish you the same thought :)
