Good luck vibes needed please

I know I don’t post much on here (more on the whistle forum) but some of you may know me enough to send me a vibe or two! I have a return visit to my hospital consultant tomorrow to get the results of a scan on a work injury. This happened 18 months ago and has stopped me folk dancing - encouraged me to work harder on my whistles, after many years, so it’s not all bad! Anyway, tomorrow I hear how big an operation is needed to restore a bit of normality to my life, or indeed if such surgery is even possible. I am very scared (doesn’t always pay to be a nurse!) and, as my husband is also anxious, I find it hard to share my fears with him. It is good to feel that I can at least write this down to a few sympathetic ears (eyes?). Anyway, positive thoughts would be very welcome.

Thank you all.

Lesley

PS Dale, I think I’ve evaded the medical post embargo?

Good thoughts fall outside the medical realm. I think you’re safe. :slight_smile:

Everytime I have had surgery it always cheers me up that I haven’t yet bothered to clean out my closets, do some yardwork, and fix all the stuff that needs fixing. If I don’t make it, well then, yippee, I sure didn’t waste time on those things and if I do make it, well then, doing those things will have new meaning.

Let us know how it goes.

Good luck, Lesley. I trust the NHS over there in England is as good as it is here in Cornwall! :smiley:

Thank you, everyone. I am (almost) speechless at how kind you all are. I will let you know how it goes - appointment is late this afternoon.
And Steve in Cornwall, Devon isn’t in England - it’s in Devon!

Good luck!
If you do need surgery and have any particular concerns, feel free to contact me by email. I work as a nurse in an operating room.

Thank you so much, you lovely people! You gave me a lot of courage. It does not pay to be a nurse, as you know too much about the nasty bits! I do have to have some rather fiddly surgery on my neck, fairly soon, which will at least stop things getting any worse and hopefully improve the pain levels. I feel better now I know, I think - have had surgery before (not on this) and know I can cope.
I appreciate you all immensely - you have left me close to tears at your kindness: can’t afford to drip tears onto the laptop or I would! You are the most wonderful bunch, to show such kindness and support to someone you don’t even know. I can’t thank you enough.

Coming in late to this, but add my thoughts for your smooth sail through it all!

And my thanks to you, too, annie.
