Consent – #9

28 Jun

Yes, well…..I don’t mention often, but Dr D was the 9th medico I saw regarding the first lump/s.  Today, we booked my 9th and hopefully last surgery.

That’s a monumental step.

I feel like I can start to breathe again.

Okay, I’ve had a glass of wine and am overly emotional, but my eyes are filled with tears and I am almost desperate for this surgery.

In Dr D’s own words ‘it’s only day surgery, we’ll go through the old scar’.  Recovery? ‘about a week’.

He filled out the details, I signed the consent.  Today is a big day.

Operation #9 is about six weeks away.  We’ve joked often in the past four years about a glass of red.  I’m allowing myself to enjoy one (& hey – I can taste it!!!), and in this virtual world I’m clinking glasses with a man who has saved and changed my life.

So fortunate……
