The Night Before....

I've asked Ben to type this for me, as he's been doing a brilliant job updating my blog. Surgery is tomorrow, to say I'm a tad terrified is an understatement.
Hopefully all will go according to plan and in a couple of days i will wake up in intensive care.
They keep you under sedation and on a ventilator for a couple of days to help with the healing. It all seems a bit of a dream like. Just a few weeks ago I was building a sleeper wall and getting the hay in, helping with the medieval day and organizing a party.

Apparently, I am Critical but stable. It's a wonder I haven't popped my clogs! Obviously my maker has decided it's not my time yet...
I've been warned that my recovery will be a long and slow one. So hopefully, I'll have some time for my miniatures and finally get my witches hat shop built.
Ben has been printing off your comments for me. Thank you everyone for your get well wishes and your caring words, They've certainly cheered me up. The good news is my son's can now use the washing machine and my whites are still white! lol.

Ben and Harry return to school tomorrow, so Ben will update when he can, and let you know how it all went.
Love to you all
Debbie xxxx

  11. As Kate said, there are only positive thoughts going out in the universe tonight for you. Anyone would be nervous but I am confidence this will be absolutely fine. You are in good hands. My father had this surgery at age 75 (with many other medical issues as well) and he was home in 10 days. He said the leg incisons from the graft harvest was the worst part of healing. I'll be thinking of you all day, as wil we all.

  21. If you should need any kind of help with social services there and hit a road block give a holler to me. I have a very good friend who is a senior councilman in that area of Wales. He will push telephone buttons for me even though I live all the way across the pond in Seattle, Wa.

  31. I'm sorry to hear that!
    I haven't read blogs in a while, so I didn't know about your health issues...
    I hope you'll heal quickly!
    I'm thinking of you as the surgery is today.

    Many cheering and comforting hugs!
