I am home after 6 days and jolly pleased to be here. I will be just in time for 5 days of exhilarating cricket watching Freddie win the Ashes!
After a couple of false starts everything is working fine down below. It is far from perfect but then neither was a cancerous bowel and I much prefer the latter.
My first decision is that after today I no longer wish to discuss my bowels and my bowel habits. After 3 months of intense scrutiny I can now be consign the topic to its rightful place which is the toilet!
Unfortunately I now have a nasty infection in the wound which has taken the edge off things. This is one of the common risks of bowel surgery. I had to have the staples removed yesterday, 4 days early, and have it opened up so that the swelling can be drained. This unfortunately is done by squeezing, which is a tad painful. I have to go back to out patients on a daily basis for the next couple of weeks for it to be repetitively drained and dressed. The positive thing is that it is now the focus of attention and I can forget about everything else which is past history.
I will stick with the blog until it is sorted but this too is coming to a natural end. It has been of enormous therapeutic value to me and quite humbling that you are all still tuning in.
It is now 4am and I am up as it is time for my pain relief. I had better sign off until my humour bypass returns.
At least I know I am not alone in these small wee hours. Somewhere out there sits a sad and lonely woman hunched over her screen, scouring the net, like a search light in the blitz, hunting for a glimpses of naked men. Goodnight Frances. x

ReplyDeleteMany more than 3 cheers that you are now home again - despite the return visits to outpatients. Hope they will also be soon behind you. Enjoy the cricket - just hope it isn't rain affected.
Do please keep your blog running so we can continue to enjoy your humour - rather necessary in today's world.
All the best, and looking forward to seeing you both again soon.
Dudley.
That will be one less website to distract me when I should be working. Glad you are back in the comfort of your own home. See you soon. Much love

So pleased that you are home and hope that you feel better soon darling. As soon as you are feeling better, I will insist on one last naked photo! We are rapidly approaching 5000!

ReplyDeleteWill be sad that your blog is coming to an end but glad that it is for all the right reasons!
Continue to get well and I am sure that I will be seeing you at the hockey pitch very soon. Trials day is 5th September but I don't think you are going to make it this year somehow. Still there is always golf !!
Enjoy the Ashes at least you will be on the winning side either way.
love Jane
Hi Jon and Mal - so glad you're home again and can put the whole grisly business behind you - ha ha. Hope the infection clears up quickly - the cricket team are relying on your support! Love Dave and Pat x
ReplyDeleteHi Jon. You can't quit until the blog gets to 5,000! What an amazing coming-together it has proved to be. In particular I feel very close to Frances and Skip. Bit of a blot on your sensationally successful run to get this nasty infection. I suppose there has to be one blip. Just hope it goes away quickly. Don't like the sound of all that squeezing and draining though. Poor you. You are being very brave about the pain - being up and about at 4 am because of it - it's like being female! So wonderful to know you are back home again though, and hope this final stage clears up very quickly. Love to that wonderful woman, your wife, and love and good wishes to you too, from all the Simmos xxxx
