Stop right there with your idea of doing stuff for work whilst signed off. You are signed off for a reason. A general anaesthetic can take a week to get out of your system. And you have said that you think there was more local anaesthetic there too. Plus, you may have 'only' had one incision, but they were still furtling around in there to get to what they wanted. You have had pretty major surgery!Please be sensible, greent. Lounge about on the chaise longue for a while. Please. Or I'll have to send the posse round to enforce your recuperation...πNST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!8

Ahhh -you are all so lovely! My original plan was to take next week off and then wfh w/c 7th March - so I have definitely revised that! And the cpd stuff I'm not planning on touching any time soon - I am definitely spending lots of time on the sofa (Inc 2 naps today!) Watching catch up tv and playing mindless games on my phone - I've tried reading a book but I'm still too woolly headed to concentrate on it yet. Other than that I've drank copious amounts of tea and water and organised the children to bring washing downstairs and load the wm. All necessary ironing (school uniform, cadets uniform etc) was done pre op and I spent the day before it baking extra supplies of bread and rolls - so I'm OK for a fair while πΒ
I am peeved I'm missing a gig on Saturday night though - rearranged feom ages ok because of covid. However, even I'm not dim enough to travel over an hour and then stand in a crowded small venue for around 3 hours with lots of people jumping around.... sigh.... I've been listening to their gigs (they've been putting posts up) and they are sounding good, too. Ho hum. DH is going with a friend now - he did offer to stay home but I will be here with 3 kids Inc 24yo DD and I'm sure we will all be fine. We are going to have a Disney+ session with snacks ππ Not quite the same but still good!

Results are due in 3-4 weeks - then I find out if the lymph removed were clear and whether the Marvin's around the lump were clear -Β if the margin isn't clear/ big enough then I get another lumpectomy. If the cancer is in my lymph then I don't know what's next. If all is good then it should be radiotherapy and hormone treatment (I think) Whatever - I'm in limbo until the results are back.
Encanto is planned for Saturday - with maybe more - depends how it goes.ΒI am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 Β£124616 01/11 Β£89873 01/13 Β£52546 01/15 Β£12133 07/15 Β£NILNet sales 2024: Β£208 -
Encanto is a lovely film, I really enjoyed it and haven't stopped singing it. I hope you like it.
No point in worrying about the results for a while yet then! I hope you have a few good books to read while you recover to keep your mind off of things. It's hard, but sometimes you need to wallow, sometimes you need to distract.
Hope you have a good night.9 -
We have watched encanto twice so far. There is still so much detail I have missed!
