addicted Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Late last month I posted that I was having to have an'op. Unfortunately the results were not as I hoped and what was removed was 0.07mm insufficient for requirements thus Monday will find me back to have the same thing done again. I just hope the surgeon gets it right this time - although there is no guarantee apparently. I'm not a very happy bunny right now which means my B.P. has gone sky high so they might not be able to operate at all unless I can get a response to the problem from my G.P. to adjust my medication in time which nis proving difficult.

addicted Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Finally got someone to take it on board and am collecting a new prescription later today. Let's hope it does the trick. Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 That’s a b****r Carole, 0.07mm sounds so insignificant but is so crucial for correct diagnosis. I hope your bp comes down sufficiently for the second try. Keep your chin up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. You must be fed up with waiting. Let's hope the surgeons are all present and correct this time Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Happy to report that new medication is working and b.p.this morning is lower than it's been for years so hopeful that won't be another complication to worry about on Monday.

addicted Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Had op no.2 today. The experience couldn't have been more different. For a start the b.p. behaved itself. I also was hugely relieved to have a different anaethsetist. This one was a lady who didn't treat my hand and arm as if it was an inanimate pin cushion leaving it black and blue with 15 + holes and 2 large swellings that are still there. Today just one attempt was all it took to fit the cannula and I have no raw throat either. I was on my way home by 1.00pm and enjoyed a pub lunch(no wine sadly) on route. Result. Happy days.
