6 Week Post Op Appointment

Well here we go again. I was diagnosed in April 2010 and had 2 mri's the same week. My tumour was debulked (partially removed) in October 2010 my post op mri will be end of January 2011 and my post op appointment will be in February 2011. Amazing eh, my 6 week appointment will be 16 weeks after my operation and 9 months between mri's. And and I only got those appointments because I phoned the QMC in Nottingham in week post op 10 to remind them I needed a post op mri and appointment. What a farce.

Got a tad OVER swollen

9th October 2010

Well here I am two days to go till I go in hospital. I couldnt explain even if I tried as to how I feel at the moment. The opportunity to run lol the chance to refuse.. all floating about in my head.  Was out with my mates last night, saw them all it was nice. A good evening, nice to know at this time I still have friends.  Today I covered myself in the sterile liquid I was given by the hospital, hair n all. Have to do it again tomorrow, so by the time they operate on Tuesday I will be completely bug free, or should I say germ lol.

5th October 2010

Woke up with bad head, went to town anyway (market day), bought two pairs of socks and had to come home. Very very tired and really bad head. Amazing how a 49year old can sometimes look and feel 70. Completely hagared, exhausted and done for.

4th October 2010

Well here it is only 1 week to go. I'm nervous and getting more so. I'm thinking am I doing the right thing. Will I end up in a worse position. I have been told of the possible drawbacks. Never really gave them much thought till now. Am I doing the right thing? who knows. Will I back out at the last minute, I hope not. However when it comes down to it, it's my life, my future and only I can decide. My sixth grandchild was born yesterday, a little girl.. Makes it all worth while in the end.

2nd October 2010

Well here it is October has arrived. Seems so long ago since my diagnosis in April. In 10 days time I will have a craniotomy, never thought I'd see the day. Today my face hurts nothing new there then. Sneezing well thats not a nice feeling, make me feel like my face burst open or something. Got sore teeth today and cheekbone feels like I hit it with a car. Another normal day for me and my meningioma.
