Mid September 2013 and the peiod pains are back with a vengeance. Cramps and back pain, gggrreatt!! By the 18th,I am once again bleeding. Fortunately my Doctor has rung to say she wants to see me after some contact from my hospital, so I'll just wait a day instead of sitting for another 7 hours in A&E. I know i've said it before, but I just wish my body would make up it's mind!! Am I post menapausal or not? Jeez....
Anyhows, saw the Doc on Fiday 19th. My gynae chap, Mr Wynn has written to my Doc saying that although there isn't really a medical need for a hysterectomy ( apart from having Hysteroscopys every 6 months!!) he feels there is a psychological one and although it is a small risk, there is a risk of endometrial cancer with Tamoxifen. Anyway, she has written to him to say I would like to go ahead with the op. Downside is, I won't have any more children. However seeing as I was sterilised nearly 20 years ago and my fella was snipped long before that, it was never really on the cards.
I also received my letter for my pre op appointment for my new boobs yesterday. Am a little bit nervous about it. Not the right one, cos she is still numb on the side and I can't see it hurting at all. Plus, it's because of her lumpiness, I am getting a bit of lipo!! No, it's the leftie that's going to hurt. She has a full set of working nerve endings and that equals pain :-(. Still, I'm sure it will be worth it. After nearly half a century, they are heading South a bit, so I may get a couple of perky years out of them. George, the lovely registrar had suggested I give up smoking at least two weeks before the op. Spurred on by my daughter, I purchased an e-ciggie. That was a month ago and I am now on nicotine free vapour. I do believe that makes me an official non smoker!! Seriously, it is the way forward. I haven't missed smoking at all.
Well, thats about all for now. I shall do some 'before' and 'after' pics and keep the posts during this next ( and hopefully last) stage. In the mean time everyone......KEEP CHECKING!!!!!!!
