Another update - mum's op

SophieM, 4 November, 2008 at 21:30 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 30

My mother had her surgery yesterday. Many thanks again for all the good wishes on the original thread. She's come through the operation fine and apparently it's looking really good for the colostomy to be reversed in a few months once everything has healed. Apparently her surgeon is really hot! Dad is spending lots of time with her and she's drawing loads of strength from his company although my sister says he can't hear a word she says and it's hit and miss whether he actually passes her what she's asked for ?

Anyway, thanks again and lots of speedy recovery vibes for Mum, please.

    Hello Sophie

    Really glad your Mum's surgery went well and that she is now on the path to recovery. It must have been so worrying for you not being there with her. Glad to know she has a dish of a surgeon to look forward to visiting post-op! ?

    Oh no Sophie, I've missed a thread somewhere, I had no idea. I'm so pleased that things are looking good, what a worrying time this must have been for you. ?

    Hi Sophie,

    I am so sorry I seemed to have missed all this, and haven't see your original post.

    As you probably know from all my moaning on here I have had a similar operation to your mum. I am pleased she is doing well, I know quite a lot about bags and such, so if your mum ever needs to chat, I would be more than happy to e mail her. Though I completely understand if she doesn't want to talk to some internet loon. If you ever need to ask me anything, I would be happy to do my best to answer, and if I don't know the answer I have a wonderful stoma nurse who I can go to with any questions.

    I am pleased her operation went well and it won't be too long until she can have things put back.

    All my love to you and your mum.

    Mf x

    Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, and am laughing at the 'hot surgeon'! I couldn't get the context. Hot, as in uber-capable, or hot as in extremely handsome? ?

    Uh... It didn't occur to you that the weather might be warm? ? No, extremely handsome, apparently.

    Thanks so much all. MF, thank you. She's in SA so a bit far away for chats, but she has a counsellor who is apparently very helpful.

    Damn, totally didn't think abut the weather. But a handsome surgeon can only be a boon, so that's great! (I am a dope sometimes!)
