General Chat

Many years ago, I can remember being a bit miffed because my younger son, just 5, was disappointed that I was coming out of hospital after 5 weeks in...... it would seem that Daddy, who had trouble boiling an egg and buttering a round of bread, was cooking proper dinners with proper puddings and custard, lolol

Mine were only young that time... a little older (early teens) the next time.... but squabbles tended to happen after I came home, and over who was plumping up pillows the best/making the nicest tea etc etc..... for a while, anyway.

As has been said, they will cope, they will have to. And they will be with Dad, not a stranger, so it will be good for them all to be together.

Get your op done, rest up, follow dr's orders, and let your family spoil you a little bit... they need to learn how to do it, and you need to learn how to accept it and let them... ;¬))

Will be thinking of you on Wednesday, anyway.

Take care

Love

Good luck Helen, I will be thinking of you. Of course all will go smoothly, families pull together in a crisis and hubbies cope. Remember this is a time to spoil yourself, buy some good books etc and let them take over for you.

The best of luck Helen. We shall all be thinking of you and wishing you well. BC XX

I am sure everything will be fine at home Helen, and let's face it they are hardly going to visit and say they were squabbling, lol, just concentrate on yourself and your recovery, don't go pushing yourself. Let the family help when you get home and maybe they will appreciate you a bit more too.
After all, they all need to learn how to cope for the future so nows a good time to learn, hubby included.
You take care and enjoy the tlc when the op is over.

I can go along with the way you feel Helen, I was in a right state prior to My little op......but several posters put me a bit at ease, AND it went well, and I am recovering nicely,
I am sure that you will get the best of attention while you are in hospital.

My best wishes to you,

Bob

I will be thinking of you on Wednesday. You will be fine.

Believe it or not, when I got home from hospital 2 days after the operation, I found that hubby was poorly and I had to strip the bed and do the washing which I managed ok. You will probably be better than you expect to be.

Enjoy the rest in hospital before all the work starts again. lol

All good wishes for Wednesday,

Helen, I'm sure everything will go well and once you've recovered you won't know yourself. You'll feel better than you have in a long while.

As for the girls and hubby? They'll be fine and if they're not then when you are well again bang their heads together and knock some sense into them:-))

I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday.

Be kind to yourself Helen... Don't wear yourself out too much getting things ready, though I understand it's a good idea to ease things for afterwards.

Sorry to hear that you are so missing your Mum. What we'd give to be able to chat to them awhile eh? I'm sure you'll still feel her close as you prepare for Wednesday.

Will be thinking of you.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts, I've been pottering around today sorting things out trying to make things easier for afterwards. Also been sat here wishing my Mum was here, to give me a hug. Really miss her at the mo. suppose it's my hormones, maybe my body is realising it's gonna be going through a major change this week.
Well I'm going to sort my case out and make sure I've got everything i need. Catch you later.

Helen

Hi Helen, hope all goes well on Wednesday.

Remember to do what your body tells you after the op.
lots of rest,gentle walks and let someone else do the chores .

Its amazing what families can do(even the youngest members)

Thinking of you on Wednesday

Helen -

I'm sure that your family will have your welfare uppermost in their thoughts, and will 'behave'! Just make sure you get some pampering when you get home again. Good luck,
