Hello all...you probably all know me because I am moaning about something or the other anyway!! I had my appointment for my back today...and I have the op in about 2-3 months hopefully! For once I am actually quite nervous now as it is such a big operation...and the guy I saw today had 6 fingers!!!
Any how just thought I would update everyone! :)

I will actually be ******** it! The one thing I keep thinking is what if I do get Paralyzed! My boyfriend was saying today that he hoped that I had the op before we went to Paris in March and then I was thinking no....I want it after....just incase you know I became paralyzed....I didn't tell him that though lol! But I just worry and over think everything!! xx

You will get through this , worrying is more natural than you realise....
But all in a days work to the team who will be improving your health ....
You should have it done as soon as you can , I have tried those delaying tactics before ...they don't work ;)
What a lovely holiday to look forward to x

I'm sure all will work out fine, it's not nice being in pain & discomfort and it does effect your quality of life, surgery may seem extreme but if it resolves the problem then it's worth it.

Am pleased that you've now got a date for yr back op Nicola. Make sure now that you do yr best to keep yr bg levels ok so that the op will go ok.

Not sure when you will get a new home to move in to, but take yr mind off the op and start thinking about what
you will need in terms of furniture, bedding, cookware etc. Start going to carboots and look out for bargains....... There's a lot to get hold of.

Totally agree. I suspect the op will be about 18 weeks from now, as thats the maximum on the guidelines... I hope for Nicola that it will be sooner.

The 6 fingers for the surgeon made me chuckle!!.. (Not nastily)just wondered if 6 fingers help or hinders when operating?!

Good that you got a brighter future all round Nicola... iHs absolutely right on getting bloods in control and planning for your own place.
