harveypup Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 ((((((((BIG HUG)))))))))) Hopefully by this time tomorrow everything will be fine and you can take a big deep breath and relax. For your bad back I can thoroughly recommend the heat wraps ( you will have seen the patronising advert with the woman in the red swimming cossie who can do ANYTHING when she is wearing one!!!!) Believe me I have had a bad back for donkey's years (after my horse threw me off in front of a bus!!!) and they are fanbloodytastic. I get mine at Boots and they are on offer at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hello All. Just got back from Londinium and am quite choked up by all your lovely replies!! He was taken down to theatre at 9am this morning, I waved him goodbye By 3pm I hadn't heard anything and was panicking! The nurse said he was out of surgery, everything went according to plan, but his blood pressure was a bit high. They kept him in the recovery room for 3 hours. He is now back in the ward, stuffing fish pie down his throat . Says it feels uncomfortable but not painful. The straws sticking out of his nose are particularly attractive . A few more days in hospital and he will be home safe and sound! Left him at 7.30 this evening afrter being up since 4am to find out that they had closed Hatton cross station, so I would have to get 2 buses to get back. *Heart pounding faster and faster* i hopped in a taxi, got to hatton Cross and have just driven home. I cannot tell you the relief, seeing his swollen little face and his surgical stockings!!!! (why don't they do them in blue)?? I will go back in tomorrow afternoon as am hanging now! Can't take the pain killers for my back as they make me sleepy and have to drive 60 miles each way. Luckily they only take 20 mins to kick in when I get home! Once again thank you all so much for your kind words and thoughts! Love you all C x x x x x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think you should make some yummy things to eat for when Jason comes home. Cakes, biscuits and sweets! I'm positive everything will be just dandy. he has already asked for jaffa cakes!! Also - thanks for all the suggestions for my back. Found some giant tiger balm sticky plasters in the cupboard from one of OHs trip to Thailand. Stink like hell but are really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 oh im so pleased everything was ok. Cant imagine how worrying it must have been to see a loved one go through that.

Cinnamon Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am so glad that all went well for your OH Christian A friend of ours, in his late 30's is waiting to have a benign tumour removed from his neck - the op has been cancelled twice He then has to spen around 2 months flat on his back,doing nothing. As you can imagine,he just wants to get it over with & out of the way.Not to mention that his business is very in the air as he doesn't know when his 2 months off will be.............. Anyhow, you spoil him when he comes home,won't you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Such a worry for you Christian, but great news that the op went well. Here's hoping that he'll be up and home again in no time. Do look after that back, and with any luck it'll sort itself out quickly *fingers crossed* . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Great news Christian, im really pleased for you both that everything went well The therma care wraps are brill for your back and may not smell as much as the tiger balm so pick some up if you have a chance.
