Wednesday 3 July 21:06

Dave, Martha and katy visited tonight. We watched the tennis:). I declined taking codeine to have an awake visit, and it has worked well so far. Pain is starting to grow, but the freedom to chat with girls was fantastic. So. Andy won the tennis. Yahooo! 
Katy shared with me stories of her acting today, and martha likes Chorlton High more then Stretford Grammar. She has to visit Sale Grammar too. The big plus for stretford grammar is the size - it is only four form entry. CHS is 300 entry. It is joyful hearing her talk about it - she is so grown up already. 
The three of us went to the loo together. Katy took pictures of my scar and they were both interested in looking at it without stitches. The blood! They did not like the blood that remains. Tomorrow, I cam wash my hair. I can't wait ...
Btoh girls had a good cuddle with me. All of the visit was happy and fun. A delight. 
So, we get ready for me to head home tomorrow. I believe I have an oncology appointment. After that I will be able to go. Just need the time for the appointment.
Firslty, you know where I will be - IN THE SHOWER. Gotta clean head before I leave because my home shower is inside bath. I won't be using shower in bath until I get some handles ;) ;). 
Love you all

I will be heading home tomorrow!

Come on Andy!
I have the match on and plan to see as much of it as I can. 
I will be heading home tomorrow. Gonna sort it all out later when Dave comes in for visit with M and K.
Obs I am tired and exhausted and getting over a major operation, AND I am exhuberant and full of beans. See you all at home :). Love you all

Blimey - that was tricky. I lost my input page. 
Registrar has met with me. They are ready for me to go home. I have talked again about the safety of my stairs, and we are all agreed that I cannot go home until a stair rail has been hung on my wall. My stairs are too steep and I expect to be able to hold on. At the top of my stairs there are two or three steps where I cannot hold current rail. 
So registrar team have left to sort out the rail. When the rail is there, I will go happily.

My specialist nurse has visited me too. I recognised her but could not place her. Alison Hope, I think. She is delighted with my progress and again, focused on getting the stair rail fitted. 

Other matters. I have been able enough to activate the TV. My plan is to watch Andy Murray play this afternoon. Come on Andy! I don't know how much I will see, but definitely something :) :). My big goal is to watch Andy win the final.love you. Sarah xxxxxx

Wednesday 3 July Snap


Msg for Alec

Alec Bielecki - good morning. Great to hear from you, I am so happy that you are keeping in touch - every message warms me. 
I have not heard from Geoff at all. Could you check that he knows.
Thanks. Love you

Sutures out

The sutures have been removed. I have been calm and allowed nurse to work across my head. For each stitch she has found the thread and cut it, and then removed it. I was given a little blue dish to hold stitches in. The tricky ones were under a mound of blood. For these, the nurse had to gently remove the blood, find stitch and then remove it. There were lots with knots on too. They have been removed. Hooray. Snaps will follow. 
A number of them were painful, but I have to say that the nurse respected how I was feeling and we got there together. Thank you Rochelle. Good job done. :)))). Love you.
Love you all.




































Still scared about suture removal. Hello NCT girls :). I can remember having caesarian sutures removed and the whole procress being agony. The big tip was to relax, but I was uptight, so IT HURT. Gotta be relaxed and chilled, I know . Love you all. Hope to text soon that it was EASY. Love you all.
