Update from me
 

Dang i've been busy as lol

My eldest demon spawn has moved out (woohooooo), though i miss him it is nice to see him with some independence (he has aspergers). I go and see him at least once a week, and enjoy that time heaps.
My youngest spawn is now finished school and has a job (woohoooo) and i dont think it will be that long and he too will move out.
Bilbo and i will then have a empty nest and will thoroughly enjoy it *LOL*

Work sux - to the point that during my annual leave while recovering from surgery (hopefully) i will be actively looking for a new job! Dont care what it is as such as long as it is NOT doing what i am currently and the workmates are decent!

Regarding surgery - I am hoping to go under the knife sometime in December. If is a major op, but one i have been wanting for quite a while. Its not the procedure i originally wanted, after talking to the surgeon the other option is better suited to myself. I'm not saying what it is yet and prolly wont until its done and i'm all clear. It will be a start to a new life for me.

So yeah sorry i havent been around as much as a should *hugz*

Fill me in on whats happening in your life????

Oh you know....SSDD here. I work, I eat, I try to sleep.

In my life ... I think you knew I had surgery to remove a small nodule on my right lung. Surgery was successful and we think it's all gone bye-bye! :)

Seems like this year more than most has been filled with car bills. Mainly normal maintenance stuff, but still frustrating in their frequency.

Lots of fall cleanup to do, but I've been slow in starting. Too bad, the weather has finally (knock on wood), turned beautiful.

Just want you to to Fantasia, you'll be in our prayers until we know the surgery is done and that all is going well! Actually, we think of you anyway, but the prayers will just be more intense than normal. ;)

:grope:

Thanks DB *hugz*

I'm predicting it will all go well, but gotta be a realist and surgery can go wrong i spose. If this one does it will be a not so easy fix unfortunately and will see me with extended hospital stays, rather than the 4 days min.
The risk is there, i understand it to be a 1% chance. I am fingers crossed just hoping beyond hope i am not in the 1%.

Prayers will be fully appreciated!

I am fine. My oldest son is now my daughter, my best friend's 10 month old baby died and I was there, my classroom aide has been out sick for a week and a half, I was in the dog house at work for calling peeps on their bull shit, my son just informed me he wants to go be a FES his senior year in Tokyo or at the very least he will be going to London for next year's new years $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, and I hurt something and can't get back to zumba without tearing it up so I am gaining back weight I worked so hard to lose. But I am fine.












Really I am. Just a lot of heavy stuff at once.

I suspect this feels somewhat like another type of “coming out” might be – simultaneously exciting and scary – but the big transition in my life is that I have taken on a submissive.

Hope your surgery has the desired results hon. Prayers are a given!

My daughter "R" (who turns 19 on Hallowe'en!) has just started her THIRD year at university in Edinburgh! Living there, with her boyfriend, and Herself and I visit with them every second Friday.

Showing off a bit here, but I now have two cars! A (very fast!) Subaru for fun, and an Alfa Romeo GT for work. No bike now though, and promised R I wouldn't get another. As she said, "I've lost one parent - thats enough".

Other than that, work/sleep/play. It's all there is, when you get right down to it!

Fangtasia you are in my prayers that all well come out fine. My oldest daughter is due with my first grand child a boy on Christmas eve. My oldest son still has no urge to find a job and my youngest just turned 16 and is doing good. I maybe getting divorced here soon, but am currently seperated. Other than that I go to work and come home to continue the same the next day.

I hope everything goes ok with your surgery, Fangtasia, and you heal quickly afterwards :)

I'm going for fairly major surgery very soon, too. Next week, in fact :eek: :eek: I should be just about healed by the time you go for yours.

Good to read an update from you all. My life is different beyond all recognition but I'm doing ok :)

:console: to anyone who needs it x

Thanks again.

This op has the very large potential to give me my like back, opening up quite a few opportunities in many aspects. I am excited as. Passed all the tests with flying colours, so thats a major barrier out of the way. One more barrier to get passed before i will know for sure if it will go ahead. Gonna be a long wait til i know, well its gonna feel like a bloody long wait anyway.
I will be applying for a weeks long service the 1st day back at work, they will love that i bet. I cant leave it any longer than that, or it definately wont get approved. So regardless of if the op goes ahead or not i will be having nearly 6 weeks off this Xmas *L*
Yeah as i said i'm excited, but also scared cause i know things can go wrong, surely i have had my share!!

Glad to hear thigns are looking up.

An update on the update lol

Long Service Leave granted
Surgery looks to be happening on the 7th Dec, just waiting for confirmation.
I will be in hospital for 4 days (1 day possibly ICU) if it goes ahead

Glad it is all working out. Things here are the same. Keep us posted!

I will take this opportunity to point out that you should ensure that you are in no way mistaken for a harbor.

That's a pearler, GG.

Huh?? *zoom over my head*

That's right, 7th December 1941, the Pearl Harbour attack.

Sooooooooooo i have a confirmed date for surgery now. 27th Nov.

As of Monday 5th i start the pre surgery optifast stage, i'm thinking this will be hardest trial of the whole process lol I will make it through, i cant stuff it up, its a very important and necessary part.....will be interesting to see how much i lose just in the 4 weeks of that...................

Reading through some of these posts, my own troubles get quickly put in perspective...all I have to offer is a broken hand that ruined my golf this summer.

damn...

So i am at the last day of the pre op diet, i have lost 8.8kg in 3 weeks.

Tomorrow is surgery day, 7AM, bright and early and 1st-2nd cab off the rank.

I am heading closer to the hospital tonight (3 hours away) i may not have interent access, but as soon as i am able i will update you all.

*hugz*

Fangtasia,

I'm sure all will go well! We'll be waiting here to read about your success! :thumb:

Prayers are on double-inensity for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

((hugs)) to you!

And the result was?

C'mon woman, give us the good news.

^^^

^^^^^^^^^

Prayers continuing while we await the results. :wish:

She posted on fb :) I don't think she can get "here" from where she is recuperating.

OK, Lilith, would you pass on whatever it was, for those of us not on Faceplant?

All I saw on FB was that she had interweb restrictions and that she'd get to us when she could. Evidently things went OK or she'd have had words to say.

From our girl:

I've had the op, the 1st 2 days were rough, they were fighting to get the vomiting under control, turns out it looks like i have yet another medication allergy that was causing the issue. So i have refused to have that anymore and am now well on the way to recovery.
Today (30th) is my 1st day of being allowed to drink anything (still nothing to eat yet). I'm allowed 50ml of clear fluid over an hour, and believe me after not having anything since 8pm on the 26th, any fluid is like the nectar of the gods lmao
Dont know when i am being let go home....so will not be able to get to pixies until i am home

Lotsa love
Fangtasia

Get better faster!!!!!

Thank you.

I hope the allergenic stuff is well & truly out of her system by now.

Woohooo guys....i'm home

Doing really well, recovering nicely. will be a few weeks at least before i am able to lift anything, but thats cool.

Thanks for the thoughts guys & to the wonderful Lil for passing on my message :)
Love ya all!

The love is returned with some extra tossed in for good measure. So glad you're home and doing well. Just take care. You're missed when you're not here with your family. ;)

You're not even allowed to lift with your fangs?

Nope not even my fangs lol

I'm very glad to hear that your are recovering and doing well. :)

So ya not be able tu swing ur ax for a bit, eh? :devil:
