So glad to hear it's all over Lucy, we're all breathing sighs of relief for you!!! Sounds like the surgeon did a 'proper job' to make sure the lump has gone completely, what a good Man!!

Now you're really going to have to behave yourself & rest up, have you got enough slaves around? I'd gladly pop down & help to pamper you for a few days if there's a rota going!!!

Love & Hugs & still thinking positive thoughts for your recovery,

So glad it all went well Lucy. I like the tattoo idea - might try the zipper for my abdominal scar - seems to be the favourite place for opening me up.

Take it easy, rest up and I'm sure that you can find plenty to put your talents to whilst you're off your feet me love.

Being a pirate is all fun and games, until somebody loses a lump...

Yer going to have to make up some sort of story about the scar,
now, something more vivid than "my body rebelled against itself
and grew something that didn't belong."

Did you get to see the thing? Did it perhaps have little feet,
hands, and a head? An alien perhaps? Or perhaps the ultimate in
ectopic pregnancies?

kat (& Lucy) maybe you could ask a henna artist to paint flowers (or zippers) around the scars!

From: katlaughing
Date: 20 Dec 07 - 07:27 PM

Ouch! Take it as easy as oyu can, Lucy, to let it heal up well and fast.

As to tattoos...I always swore I'd get a zipper tattoo if they ever opened my chest for heart surgery. Now that I have the scar, I could get it, but the skin is so tender and it is so close to the bone, I think it would hurt way too much for this gal. Maybe I could get more flowers around it, connecting to the ones on the right side which I've had for years. Still, a zipper would be funny silly!:-)

bummer, I hope the pain goes soon so you can enjoy your holiday by doing holiday stuff.

but when the scar has healed you could get it tattooed. I once saw a pic of a mastectomy scar with a trail of flowers around it! You could get a skull & 1 crossbone around yours.

Well I am home and lump free, I have a 6 inch scar on my right thigh now - look like a real pirate! Its bloody sore, lumpy had gone deep and down the side of my thigh as well as through the muscle, so the surgeon had to cut through muscle and haul me about a bit. He had hoped to make a 1 inch incision, but ended up having to make a big hole to dig it all out, anyway lumpy is no more and looked OK though it has gone off to the lab to be certain.
I am feet up and not enjoying being unable to do anything!
Cheers, Lucy

Yep sorry folks, have to wait another week for the dreaded op, but that gives me a week more shopping!
No Jillie I am NOT organised at all, haven't even done my cards yet! Life has been a frustrating pickle recently and I am in 2 steps forward and one back mode at the moment!
Steve! Finally got let out of my padded cell and went to the tree last Friday - My how you've changed! You looked reamarkably like Harry McC LOL! Tree fellers were playing and not 3 in a Bush! Trust me to go on the wrong night! I have to suffer the delectation of a Budehaven cabaret evening tonight I am afraid, so wont be able to make it. Come to the folk Club Christmas party on 23rd, I promise you its not cliquey or stuyffy, we are there to share and have a good time.

I do hope they can do it that way, rather than the other. Will be holding you in my thoughts and thanks givings for the best possible outcome for the highest good of all concerned.

Footsies up for you over Christmas, take care ma love. best stay sat down incse you spill the wine!

Hi Sue,
The Op has been re-scheduled for Thursday 20th December I had the pre op check and ecg on Friday and they seem OK to go ahead.......... unless my bed is needed! I have to be in Barnstaple hospital by 0800 that morning and though they couldn't give me the exact time of my op, they say I should be able to go home by about 2pm! They also couldn't tell me whether it would be a keyhole or a big cut, as she said they didn't know until they got in there how much they would need to take out - I suggested a couple of stone would suit me fine, but they didn't seem to appreciate my humour!
Thanks for asking!
Cheers, Lucy

Hope the silence on this thread means that you've not had even more problems, Lucy.
Do you know yet whether the ops on for Thursday? Or do you have to wait until the day itself?
We need to know how many fingers and toes to keep crossed for you.

Hi Lucy from Annie and Roger, Have just come across this thread and Kevin never mentioned it the other day, so it must have happened since. Just make sure that you have a couple of days a week when you slow down and do things just for yourself, to give yourself some R & R. Will ring soon. Annie xxxxx
