I am a happy, bubbly, very talkative person and I get on with anyone (well almost!!). My motto in life is "don't worry be happy!!" and always look at the positive side things always look soo much better that way!! I come from a very close family, we are coming to terms with the recent death of my beloved grandmother. I dedicate this blog in her memory good night god bless nain forever in our hearts!

surgery a week today...

A week today I will be having my next surgery. Once again it is a big surgery and will take several hours but hopefully the surgery will be successfull in every way possible.

I will be having rhinoplasty, fistula repair using ear cartlidge that involves re-opening the palate a little, p-flap revision, 2nd p-flap, plates and screws removed by my eyes/nose, folds of skin removed by my nose and scar revision of the scars inside my mouth.

Due to the complications I had before I have to go into hospital before the day of my surgery for medication to prevent blood clots and to help my blood clot which will be hard to do both but they know what they're doing! (I HOPE!!!!) I will be in hospital for a few days then heopfully I can come home.

I have finished work now until after my surgery, I am hoping to be back at work within a few weeks depending on what my surgeon says. The main issue I will have post op will probably be eating as I am a very fussy eater and being on a liquid diet will be hard as I don't like soup etc!

I am very nervous about my surgery though I know I will be in good hands. Please keep my family and I in your thaughts and prayers as we embark on this next hurdle. Once again my mom has been amazing and a big support to me.
