thank you Daff, yes I think the hospital is finished, everything ended up in different places. Because i go for my hearing aid and have been to physio, I have no problem with out patients (feel quite at home there Lol!) but haven't a clue where the day surgery unit is.

going to out patients I always go on the bus which stops near the back entrance to the hospital.

Candles lit, and when I came out of church I was greeted by the most stunning, beautiful, vivid sunset I have ever seen! Surely a good omen:-) XX BC

Ann, they are trying to solve the problem in Gloucestershire. They have managed to sort out a park and ride system which will run in Cheltenham to Cheltenham hospital and between the Cheltenham and Gloucester Royal hospitals. next they are trying to sort out a park and ride for Gloucester. That will help visitors but not people who are taking patients to and from the hospitals. the car park is woefully inadequate and very expensive (to deter selfish people who used to park there when going anywhere by train as it is near the station)

So they are trying. They lost a lot of the car park in Gloucester when they built the new part of the hospital.

Ann in Glos... have they finished all the improvements at the hospital? I seem to recall the day hospital was on the far right, but that has possibly changed... and I agree, finding a place to park is an absolute nightmare there.

Glad to hear your appointment is through.... positive thoughts and prayers winging your way, to help you feel calmer.

Love

I shall have to take at look at the Government petitions and see if there is one running on car parking charges in hospitals

Hi Jude, yes Tony will take me in, even he is fretting about the car parking already though and that is not like him. It is so notorious that there is never room in the blessed place.

gillie, thanks. Mine is on my trunk, under my left 'boob', It is a scaly patch with two small 'growths on it and the patch is 4 inches across and an inch wide. The patch has been there for 30 years!!!! the 'bumps' on it about 6 or 7 years. So it will be a sizeable scar. If you saw my original post the surgeon said he could do it because of the loose skin!!!!

Ann

Ann I'm sure you'll be fine, relax!

My mum has had 2 rodent skin ulcers removed, one on the side of her head and the other on her eyelid which was rather large by the time surgery came around, to look at her now you'd never known she had to have her eyelid rebuilt.
The one on the side of her head was about the size of an old 1/2penny, her yeylid one was 2/3 of the top eyelid.

Good luck.

Hello Ann - aww bless you, take care and hope all goes well. Is'nt Tony taking you in?? or have you already said about that??

jude :o) x

OK...no problem. Will be happy to do one for you Joyce and you Ann and a special one for anyone else who needs a bit of help. Have to say here I am not at all religious but somehow...lighting a candle seems comforting. BC XX

To look at me you would never know I was scared though as I joke my way through it.

Know about cauterizing Ann, when I had the biopsy I was due to fly to Tenerife so couldn't have stitches and it wouldn't stop bleeding so he cauterized it. Puts you off barbecues doesn't it?

Besides Joyce's problems my need are not very high BC but an 'anti scared' candle would be lovely. I have said before I am such a coward when it comes to hospitals. when I am there I am OK, it is the getting there and finding places and getting the procedure under weigh that I have problems with.

Have to copy this from Lynne's thought for today as a reminder to me!!!


Courage is the art of being the only one who knows
you're scared to death !!!

Oh please BC.... would you mind lighting one for me....

Have another test coming up on the 29th and yet another on the 13th Feb.......

Based on the results of tests taken my consultant and anaesthetist will decide whether to operate or not...

Thank you and bless you.....

course you're a bit scared - it's the unknown, that's natural. I remember going for a routine cervical smear test at the doctor's surgery - the nurse was doing the smear and suddenly said "What have we here?" Being flippant as usual I said "Found a set of saucepans have you?" Ha Ha. She said I'll just go and see if Dr Mayo would like to have a look. I freaked - have known my GP for donkey's years and he's so young and handsome - please, please tell him he doesn't need to see it!!! She came back and said "O.K. he trusts me, we'll make an appointment for you at the hospital - its polyps and they can be burnt off!!" Off I went for the appointment, shown into a cubicle, stripped off and adopted the usual position, so elegant. An Indian doctor came in, took a look and then struck a match!!!! I thought my God, he's going to set fire to it, but it was how they do cauterisation apparently. While he was doing it he talked to me as if we were sitting on a bus - "Nice weather for the time of the year etc." It was like something out of a Monty Python sketch

Hi Ann,

You will be fine lass... my dad had a rodent ulcer on his nose which he had treatment for... that was all of 30 odd years ago.... never had any problems after......


Thinking of you.

Will be thinking of you, Ann. I'm off to light a candle for someone, shall I do one for you so you are not too scared? Or anyone else like one? Will be going in ten minutes. mwah! BC XX
