So, I had no idea things got this... close. Damn. Hella scary.<br /><br />As to the prediction retirement... Soon, I'll be having an invasive procedure done I've had before that should be fairly straightforward, but I know there are variables. I'm allowing for "whatever/ohWELLS", because it's much less stressful, isn't it?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />-- 7rlsy<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-5941690853067679072019-08-09T14:31:22.461+01:002019-08-09T14:31:22.461+01:00Thanks.

They performed it under general anesthetic, so I just sort of woke up later and it was done. I was EXPECTING to have to do it under local only which would've been far less fun I think.<br /><br />Not sure if same will be true about the coming ones or not, but here's hoping. ;)<br /><br />Glad nothing was found in your wife's case as well!Naithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-87681583727868503162019-08-04T21:12:42.691+01:002019-08-04T21:12:42.691+01:00Thanks!

Fast diagnosis and prompt treatment, means they can get on top of the problem and you recover a lot quicker. As for being a spectator in a "blue light" scenario, it's not that much fun. I speak from experience :) Hope you make a speedy recovery.Roger Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163008283296083781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-43535188259371226272019-08-04T19:56:10.012+01:002019-08-04T19:56:10.012+01:00Thanks!

I actualy had the initial indications thaty something might be going on a couple of days before the final event and I could (and should) have gone in then, when Mrs Bhagpuss could have driven me in, but one of the symptoms of chemo is shortness of breath and I put it down to that at first. Won't be making that mistake again...

My partner has a pulmonary embolism and it came on while I was suffering a severe case of gout so she drove herself to the hospital because she didn't think what she was feeling was a big deal. They disavowed her of that notion right quick. Thank goodness she also got through it, but that's the last time either of us is ever going to drive themselves to hospital no matter what!<br /><br />Anyway as always, take good care of yourself (you and NHS seem to have that bit in hand) and feel better soon!Nimgimlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00230174946054927922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-42101005140301601902019-08-04T18:30:26.371+01:002019-08-04T18:30:26.371+01:00Congrats on not dying?

Mrs Bhagpuss had an endoscopy a couple of years back (nothing of concern found) and she said it was the worst of that sort of thing she'd had.

While her leukemia is in 100% remission, the various complications of handling the treatment are still being dealt with two years later. All you can do is enjoy the good days when they happen and try to let the bad days just wash away as soon as possible.<br /><br />Keep going and enjoying the stuff you like as you can. :) Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.com
