waiting for surgery

I have been to see my surgeon at the Brompton Hospital, Amy came with me and Kevin very kindly took us and collected us in the car which was lovely. Mr Ladas was very nice and we saw the evil twins on the scan which was a bit scary, one is sort of hanging on the edge of the lung and the other one is quite near a largish blood vessel. He hopes he can just (just!) cut them out but it might mean that I lose one of the 3 lobes my lung has - no problem as the other 2 lobes eventually expand the fill the space up - clever isn't it this body stuff? He explained that I would hopefully have a more rapid recovery if I didn't have the drain in my pelvis so we have agreed to have the surgery at the end of July when he returns from his holiday.

The good news is that I am told the drain can finally come out after 10 weeks which will leave me a lot more comfortable in the lower regions! I have to arrange that with St. Hell's which as you can imagine is not going smoothly, still, if I haven't heard from them by Monday I will get my GP on the case - I'd like to enjoy some time without the drain in before I have the further 2 inserted after the operation.

So, that's where I am at the moment - on the way but with no actual dates for anything yet.

I have been going through a very depressing few days lately, but am entitled to have days like that, I can't be a happy bunny all the time. My mood was so much lifted by 2 cards that one of the sunday school groups had made me and then sent through the post and also by a beaufiful earrings and necklace set that the church choir bought me. It totally overwhelmed me and I spent a long time crying, but that got a lot out of my system as well so that was good.

love to everyone xxx
