Gina's Crystal Art Card

 

Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,  

I hope you're all having as good a week as possible.

My day took somewhat of a downward spiral yesterday,  that was before my 'Pre-op Assessment'! I have had bladder 'niggles' since bladder clinic last Thursday,  not especially painful but a lot of pressure and a bit of frequency,  I thought it was down to not drinking as much as I would if I was at home, I do take my water bottle everywhere,  its not the same as drinking by the glassful at home though.  Anyway I had a bit more intense pressure on Monday night, needless to say yesterday morning bought me the full UTI symptoms, the Ialuril is a double edged sword really,  I think its been the actual 'instillation' that has started the infection the last two months,  I took my sample with me to drop off at surgery,  the nurse at the Pre-op assessment said she could dip it, however my gp would probably reject it if she did,  anyway she looked at it and said she could tell without dipping it that I had infection,  as it was so cloudy and bitsy!  She said that I needed it clearing up ASAP.      I have to be at hospital at 12.30pm on day if surgery, which is unusual, nothing to eat after 7am, then clear fluids until 11am.  I have to bring my CPAP machine as they will put it on me in recovery. All being well I can go home same day.  I was lucky that I hada phone consult with GP booked in for Uti as I needed to ask for Omeprazole to reduce Acid an anti sickness medication to take on the morning of surgery.  It's all getting a bit serious now, I am kind of terrified.   I asked about my recovery as I use my abdominal muscles to compensate for lack of hip and thigh muscles,  she said that it will complicate it, I just have to prepare to be super aware of every movement that might involve my abdominal muscles.  For instance going up and down stairs , getting on /off bed,  standing from sitting and the reverse.  I'm going to have to be very patient! 🤣

I understand this reminder but still think its a bit of a strange one 🤔 

Today I am sharing a lovely Crystal art card that Gina made for her friend to go along with some beautiful Coasters that I will share with you on Saturday.  

Gina your friend will feel very special when she opens her beautiful card and gift.   Thank you so much for sharing it with us XXX
