Just a quick update today – finally back online after nearly a week without access. Amazing how dependent you become, eh!
I had the wide exision last Wednesday – the boyfriend was away working in sunny California (armed with liberal quantities of sun block) – so my friend Marnie took up the reins of chief nerve-calmer.
The procedure went fine although, as ever, I went as shaky as a leaf at the sight of the equipment trolley rolling towards me. A lovely nurse chatted to me throughout the op to stop me leaping up and running out the room, half-stitched.
Predictably the first few days have been uncomfortable – not sleeping on my back is a pain in the *&£%£! But I’m back at work this week and I’ll be getting the stitches out in a couple of weeks.
Next step is the visual check of my entire body for more nasties, blood tests and CT – feels like one last hurdle to go now…
Yesterday, a big envelope arrived containing a whole load of info about the flat my boyfriend and I had put an offer in on. It’d all been swept under the carpet a bit since the melanoma diagnosis. A contract has come through and it looks like it might just go ahead!
It would be wonderful to move in to a new home at the start of 2007.
Bring on the New Year, and some good news for anyone effected by Mel.
