It’s mostly the prospect of going through it all again and again that brings me down and when I get depressed my appetite is the first thing to go.

On the good side today (Friday) is the end of the antibiotics and I can start rebuilding the immune system they destroyed alongside the infection.

Hello Mac, I get really grumpy when I have gone too long with out eating. I also have a PT at work who has had rectum surgery in the past and she says after all this time it still bothers her. With the scar tissue, and ruptures it is painful for her to void or to even clean up that area.

You have my warmest thoughts and best wishes. Sleep , rest, grumble at the world, laugh with your loved one, and heal. We will be here when you feel better and come back.

Hugs and love,
Scottie

I won’t go into details as the grim story was told a little while ago. What I will say is that the nature of the surgery, and the investigations while I’m still awake, do little to enhance my sense of self esteem. It’s very hard to be nonchalant when 3 doctors and 2 nurses are staring at your arse and discussing it as though you weren’t there.

Fear not, the blog lives on (a bit like me really)

Love
Mac

Thanks for the hug, I’m feeling a lot better now that I’ve eaten and everything feels a little more positive.

You’d think I’d know by now how hard surgery hits but there are some lessons I don’t seem to be able to learn.

Love
Mac

Soup would be great, tomato soup was my childhood comfort food, and buns are always nice

There, my sense of humour seems to be coming back as well!

Thanks, I’m being sensible at last and putting the needs of the body first. I’ll be back blogging in a few days but just now rest is more important.

Love

A common mistake of mine, Micky. I never take surgery and its consequences a seriously as I should. About 3 years ago I pestered the nurses all morning because I had a meeting to get to at 13:30. As a result I got told off at hospital, work and home for trying to do too much too soon and ended up off work for 3 weeks anyway.

I’m really crap at looking after myself.

Love
Malcolm

Hey Mac, Here is another super large hug for you. I am happy to hear you are feeling a little bit better. Yeah surgery can really do a number on your physical and mental health. Please take it easy so you can recuperate quickly, and don’t forget to eat something you need the nourishment to rebuild your strength.

With much love, JR

Yay! I’m glad you took my advice and had something to eat! Life is better with food in the tank, especially with medicines on board as well. Take care of yourself! I’ll be here waiting for you when you return.

hugs and i wish i could make you some soup and buns for your dinner,
loves
