So I'm back home after my op ~ all went well and I spent two nights in a private room with en-suite and TV because there wasn't room for me in the general surgery ward by the time I came out of recovery (I was there for a few hours due to pain caused by the air they pumped into me).
I felt a bit like a human kebab for a few days but luckily my bed was electronic which really helped me sit up etc. I'm still a bit tender but my scars are healing well and I have a lovely jar of gall stones to show for it (yuck!)

Operation Tomorrow!
So I'm due to go into hospital tomorrow to have my gall bladder removed - hope it all goes to plan and that I can have the keyhole surgery as booked ~ I can't afford for it to be re-booked as my flight to New Zealand is booked for 29 Dec and I can't fly for 4 weeks after the op so fingers crossed that there is no reason to delay it!
Still have a few things to do tonight to prepare and I'm starting to get a bit nervous but in all I'm confident that I'll be up and about in no time and I'm determined to recover quickly!!
It'll be hard having no hubby around to pamper me as he's the best when I'm poorly, he really spoils me, but I'm sure people will pop up to see me and I have my cat to keep me warm!

Date for op!
I finally have a date for my gall baldder surgery! It's booked for the afternoon of Dec 1 so with any luck I'll be able to fly to New Zealand before Xmas - depending on how well I recover, how early you're allowed to fly after having this type of surgery (they inflate your abdomen with gas and it can travel around your body so that could be dangerous on a long haul flight) and how much it costs to fly at such short notice at this time of year. I really want to spend Xmas with my husband so I have fingers crossed that it all works out.
Of course this also means I only have 3 weeks to pack up our belongings for shipping and to sort out and sell/donate what we can't take with us!!! Anyone that knows me will know this is going to be a huge effort for me as I'm terrible at throwing anything away and have accumulated 10 years of stuff that will need sorting through, so I'm going to have to be really strict and only keep hold of the really important items that we can't replace. Without Rob's help it's going to be really hard to let things go, but it will mean our new home is clutter free and hopefully I'll be able to make some money from some of my junk!
Wish me luck peeps!
