Glad to hear you are doing ok, beautiful. Lots of oscillating fans in the summer, or perhaps take a trip somewhere cooler? Like the antarctic? My surgery is coming up in a few days...I am really scared. A LOT. I spoke to a buddy of mine and I am going to maybe hook up with you guys to bombard you with questions. Hubby is much more on board now so feeling happier. Am going to tell mum and aunt tomorrow via email - helps me collate my thoughts much better - so does blogging! Much love to you my dear xxx

I meant that she spoke to me at the carnival, NOT the hospital! lol

Lol - your responses really brighten my day!! In the UK we are allowed to use morphine and codeine...in Dubai (which is where I am living), we are not as it is classed as 'haram' - not within Islamic guidelines...codeine is opium based)

I am sure that they have alternatives! You just cant get them over the counter xxx

Wow everyone, thanks for the advice and support - I think I am just going to go for it! Yes, it sounds like my chum had complications...she did have her surgery in Canada and then flew back to the UAE - a hefty long haul flight...plus, without being rude, she is over 20 years older than me...so maybe her recovery might have been age related! Not that I am ageist to say the least! Love to you all. xxx

Look forward to seeing you too - I think my husband is going to come to see the doc with me. I am so bloody nervous, I feel sick! Ah well, lets see what happens. Mwah xx
