An Aussie Girls GCS Story

[KathyLauren]

Liz, I am glad you are recovering well, and that your standard of care has improved.  Do what you are told, and stay in bed when you are asleep!

Dear Liz:
Apparently from your report and the pictures of your meals you are certainly getting better treatment now at Masada.

As @KathyLauren mentioned in her comment...
"Do what you are told, and stay in bed when you are asleep!"

Continue to recover and heal up so you can get home soon.
Thank you for keeping all of your curious followers updated...

Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

 - That can't be Aussie hospital food!

Where is the splodge of utterly indigestible mashed potato?

You know the one when they ask  "Have your bowels moved today?"  If you say Yes you get extra mashed potato and if you say No you get even more mashed potato.

BTW hospital mashed potato is not to be confused with anything that comes from a vegetable or has any nutritional value.

Day 6 post op Day 7in hospitaL

Good sleep last night, Was apprehensive about this mornings removal of my Tubes,packing,catheter and IV.

Had a couple of Lorazapam to keep me calm, Drain was the first to be taken out which I didn't feel. The stitches were a little tight and uncomfortable otherwise fine with minute discomfort....next comes the packing and the catheter...again unusual, felt weird but not painful...

Guided by the nurse I put the Dialator in as she showed me and whilst there was not pain there was pressure, made a little worse because of my bowel being full. I repeated my sitz bath again about 3pm as part of my second dialation I did a 20 minute session on my own for the first time and will do another about 8pm..both occasions  with the big purple brute...although I did see my future....I better get a dinner if we are going to be so intimate with those other guys

Apparently my healing is good  the wound is clean and dry. I was surprised at how it looked. Looks like a normal surgical site to me and I even. have some sensation...in places..

Last Dialation due in about 2hrs...

After my second session I had a sitz bath and a full shower Nd washed my hair for the first time in 7 days...Heaven....I am going to post again with some pretty important topics that have arisen from today

Take Care

Yesterday was possibly the toughest day emotionally post op that I have had. I was crying a number of times for no apparent reason, feeling really flat and down...Most likley due to the drugs, I had a little cry this morning  and I was just feeling lousy but it was time for treatments

We had just removed the dressings, taken out the drain and pulled out the catheter...inserted the first Dialator....Just as we were finishing someone was banging on the door..who in the hecK was disturbing us...oohhh my partner had stopped by and bustling in behind her was someone delivering some flowers...probably the wrong room

To Jayne01 and Sarah1972 you two lovelies changed my life today  more than you can ever imagine...This beautiful basket put a huge grin all over my face and then there was the big box  of chocolate praline to set my tummy growling



You girls are sweethearts...your timing could not have been better and as you can see my little buddy has found herself right at home snuggling into me...which I love

Thank you ladies

You made my day with you kind thoughts And actions [emoji8][emoji8][emoji847][emoji847]

SQUEEEE indeed! Jayne and Sarah, that was awesome!

It's so lovely to see you smiling, Liz!

PS: I just realized that if I type "SQ" into my phone, it autofills "SQUEEEE". I guess I use it a lot. [emoji16]

IMPORTANT NAMES REQUIRED

I wanted to invite everyone who would like to offer some name suggestions

First up is my Little teddy that I was given by Sarah and Jayne..she is so cute and  I would love to hear your naming suggestions..



The second is this guy




He tends to get a bit on the intimate side, even inappropriately some would say and still owes me at least a dinner before our next encounter. The other issues being I can never seem to get him off his phone.

Would love to hear your naming suggestions and I will pick one in the next 24hrs or so.

take care

Liz

Hmm. In order, I'd call the teddy "Claire" (Claire Bear) and the dilator "Inspector Javert".

( @Steph2.0 put me up to this, BTW)

It could be like a childrens' show: The Clair Bear and Javert hour. Clair Bear gives out big fluffy hugs while Javert...erm...goes about his business.
