kat69 · April 29, 2018, 06:56:04 AM

It's less than 24 hours until my GCS commences. I'm relaxing with my partner at a local B&B, riding the wave that's carrying me to this big event.

Any last day advice?

Best of luck! [emoji3]

Relax and enjoy the rest of the ride. They have a good system there, and they will take care of you all the way through. Follow their regimen and you'll come out a new woman.

...and tell Florence I said HI!

Congrats! Are you at Chantal's? I remember what I felt like the day before! Taking the meds and wondering what it was going to be like at the hospital. Good news - all will be good. Doctors are super and care is great. Soon you will be in recovery and be looked after by a great team. I met eight other women there who shared the experience. Look forward to hearing from you in a few days. Hugs,Kelly.

Advice? Just relax and take it all in. Tomorrow will go by quickly and you'll wake up in recovery a new person. Congratulations and welcome to the club.

Head to Schwartz's and have an amazing sandwich! Fatty, not lean. Enjoy the moment. I hope to get my 2nd opinion soon and then my referral to Dr Brassard in December. I look forward to hearing about your experience.

Good Luck on the morrow. Your dream is about to come true.

Hugs,
Laurie

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

That is great Kat! Tomorrow you will move to the recovery centre. You will get wheeled over, but form there you will walk a lot as your room is up stairs! All part of recovery! All the Best! Hugs, Kelly

Day 3 at the recovery residence...lots of rest.

Fainted during my catheter urination.

islandgirl · May 02, 2018, 01:13:20 PM

Yes that is know fun. The day the nurse removes your catheter is a day to celebrate! You will then start your dilation schedule! I loved the nurses and the chef! If you could, I ask you to say hi from me. I don't know if they would remember me have been a year ago. Just say 'Hi from Kelly" April '17. Thanks. Hope all continues to go well for you. Hugs, Kelly.

Congratulations!!!

I've had some issues with a leaking catheter, which makes life a little more uncomfortable and tiring, but otherwise progressing well.

islandgirl · May 03, 2018, 07:03:41 PM

It does happen. Mine got so bad that the nurse took it out a little early and I got on with things. Glad to hear that all else is OK! Hugs, Kelly
