Aint Gonna Be Around For A Bit...

Ok............Had me main consultant on Thursday(2 days ago)....... news not good........ he put me on the emergency operating list........he says he aint given up on me yet......he also called me stubborn and brave and strong, which he said in this instance was a compliment...I do not want to be any of these things anymore, I want someone to be brave for me and strong for me, I just want to sleep...... Friday (yesterday) I got a phone call from the hospital at Haslar to say I need to be at the Naval hospital for 7.00am Monday morning and expect to be in for between 3-10 days.... I told them 3 days... she to called me stubborn.....

He told me he had a few tricks up his sleeve before the BIG DECISION was taken.... he told me he would knock me out completely this time and no camera in theatre... he said the pain will be horrific so I will be drugged out of it for a couple of days... he told he HE HAD to try this to see if it works..... he said he is on my side.... he said he will also have to make decisions as he goes along.... and I HAVE to trust him.....

Im finding it very difficult of late to trust anyone..

It has not given me much time to organise things home here once again......... I just want it to end..... Im had enough now....... Im tired and exhausted by it all...... Im worn out....... Im scared......I feel alone more then ever......

Sorry to those I have not emailed of late.... Ive been trying to keep meself to meself and deal with this the best I can under extreme circumstances...... I know I owe so many maties emails.... please forgive me..... also please forgive me for not getting to everyones blobs......

I need my knight in shining armour to come and hold my hand this time more then ever....but I cant even hear the horse galloping my way......

So, back I go into Hospital with the old and infirm, the toothless, the dribbles and moans....... I really dont know if I can do this again.... not again.... I need a light to look towards.... a focus...... a future...... and Im finding it very difficult to see anything...... everything Ive ever loved in life has always been taken from me, anyone I ever loved disappeared from my life..... and Im finding that no matter how good a person I am, and I KNOW I am.... pure and honest happieness is not in my future.... when there is not much in tomorrow to keep me going, its hard.....

The very foundations on which I have built my life have been shaken and the edges have started to crumble....

A book arrived in the post for me yesterday, its a signed copy by me most favourite author and the book is titled 'Hold On' I take this as a sign..... except my signs have failed me this past year....but at least I will have a book to read whilst in hospital.... so fank you friend for the book, you will never realise the joy in my heart and the tears in my eyes when it arrived from you....I will treasure it always... always....

Im going to keep me head down and keep meself to meself this time.... I will take in me writing papers and write to me 'cor blimey doodle penpals'..... I NEED to be out by the weekend, no matter what.... no matter what.....

Jebus how much do I need a break, a holiday... time out.... time to recover, to grow to heal my body heart and soul.... how much do I need to take flight.....how much do I need to be in Paradise....

So I aint gonna be around for a bit........ be safe.......



And hey, even though this post might sound dismal and sad and depressing...... its not, Im not, the other side of me is still the same, Im still the same, I still laff everyday.... I still find humour in most things....... Im just tired so very tired thats all.... SO DONT WORRY Im gonna be fine.....I truely am.... :)

ps.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN... hope this your special day is filled with love and laughter and you are surrounded by those that love you.... know that I do, even from all these miles away.... x

Lady in red said...

I might just be visiting you if heaven forbid you are still there at the end of the week. Mother goes in for her next op to try to sort out her knee on Thursday.

I have been feeling stiff and bruised from all the walking we did at Goodwood yesterday reminding me that I am so unfit at the moment. But reading your blog reminds me how lucky I am that I can still walk that distance with nothing worse than a few aches. you remind me how much my mum is missing in all the things she loves to do but hasn't been able to do for so long now.

Here is hoping that this week you will both come out of that hospital with knees that won't need any more treatment.

Ol' Lady said...

Hang on mel...you'll get through this...
wish I could get on a plane...I would come and look after ya
hugs & prayers across the staples to ya

JBelle said...

aw, nuts. fiddle dee dee. I think your physio is right: you are brave. And it must be so exhausting. Try taking it one day at a time--maybe that will be easier, somehow. There is a big package for you from the Chows that will go out mid-week next week. It'll be waiting when you get back. Godspeed, Dear One.

Idaho Dad said...

If it was at all possible, I'd bring my kids in to read Garfield comic strips to you. It's not the cartoon that would bring a huge smile to your face, but the way both my kids just crack up with delight when they read Garfield. I find a huge grin on my face when they're giggling hysterically at the musings of that old cat.

Anyway, we're wishing you the best from up here in North Idaho. You've gone through so much recently, you ought to receive some kind of royal award for perseverance!

We'll all be waiting on you when you get out. I'll be sitting over here>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Charles Gramlich said...

I'm very sorry the news was not good. I can imagine that you are scared. Sometimes it seems stuff just keeps happening. I'm wishing you well and sending you white light. Hang in.

Jen said...

You're still in my prayers everyday. And will be especially on Monday. God bless.

Totty Teabag said...

Heal quickly and well, Toastie, but listen to your body when it says I need to rest.

Toriz said...

*Hugs* Just keep fighting as best you can and you'll know that - no matter what happens - you (and your consultant) did everything you could.

And, when it's all over with, come and visit me and my Mam and I will take you up to see the mountains. :)

buffalodick said...

Like I said before, me and THE BIG GUY don't talk to each other much, so when I ask a favor of HIM, he's usually pretty good about granting it...I'm asking for your complete and speedy recovery and a return to your normal life, safe and sound...That's all I got- along with a big, American bear hug for you...

Akelamalu said...

Oh honey you know I'm rooting for you don't you? You're in my thoughts and I'm drawing on everything I know to send good vibes to you and oodles of Reiki is contstantly winging it's way to you. You'll be fine, I know it, I feel it in me water! xxxx

Lisa said...

Oh Cr*p! You know how sorry we ALL are about your continuing problems. I wish there was something I could do for you. I have asked for addy before, so if you still have my email (LisaAlso AT aol DOT com, hint hint) get one of your boys to send it to me. At least I can send a card or a box of rubber gloves (no, you have enough) or some tomatoes and blackberries or a PlayGirl magazine with nakid mens in it! You could share with the other old biddies and get their hearts pumping again.

I love you, Mel. And we are all thinking of you!!

Anonymous said...

Super Bummer Mel. I'm so sorry you have to have more pain.

Intense Guy said...

I hope you a speedy and complete recovery - and that the pain isn't what they advertize.

When you get back, everyone will be very happy to see you - all us bloggers and Janet, Mabel and Cedric too.

Anonymous said...

I'll be sending good thoughts and good wishes your way and hoping for a very speedy recovery for you. I know this time the surgery will do the trick and soon you will being climbing mountains.

Think positive Marmie and remember You are never alone. Many, many of us out here are busy rooting for you. I see a glow at the end of the long assed ride waiting to greet you and show you the good that is to come out of this. And some good will sneak out...it always does even when it looks bleak.

Love and Luck my girl...

I want someone to be brave for me and strong for me

Your wish is His desire. The choice is your's...yes, or no.

My prayers are with you; for a speedy recovery and your answer of "yes".

Keeping you in my thoughts today... Good luck! *hugs*

Melody Ann Ross said...

Love and hugs from Texas! Be strong Mel, you're a tough lady and you'll get through this. Can't wait to hear about your adventures with the old gummy dribblers and the cute nursey mens! See if ya can't snag a nice one to come pop in and check on ya every once in a while!

JeanneH said...

Once again, Mel, you will be in my prayers...for quick healing this time, for an end to all this...just keep your chin up...sorry, I didn't se this until Monday morning...busy weekend. So, I know you're not reading this for a few days. But just know, when you do, that I have been praying for you, girl. Hopefully the "trick" the doc had up his sleeve worked!! Love you girl - hang n there. Anxious to hear how you are....xoxoxox Jeanne in Idaho

Jeanie said...

Ok, Marmie. I'm getting out the Big Guns - the ones where I have a heart to heart out on my front porch with God. Out loud. Loud enough for the neighbors to think I'm nuts. Here, Marmie, is my hand for you to hold. It's connected to a rope that I have tethered to my Knight in Shining Armour - I'm loaning him to you. He looks and sounds like Antonio Banderas, so keep your knickers on!

Trust your doc and trust yourself. You are tough, brave, stubborn, and funny as hell.

Love you!

Jeanie

Bay Views said...

Don't worry, Marmy, British Doctors almost always get it right the second time if you live through the first. You'll be dancing with your Knight in no time. (have him leave the shining armor off, though.

none said...

I send you my very best for a speedy recovery.

Lil ol' me... said...

Mizz Marmee, the logical thing for me to say would be, "well, for whatever reason, it's time to face the music"...whenever I knew I was going to go thru a painful episode, I would always try to think past it...so, I'd be eager to get "it" over with, so I could reclaim my life. So that's something you might try; look past it. Anyway, I'm rooting for you and whatever happens, you'll come out of it. I know I can offer nothing but words, but all of my best wishes are with ya.

Anonymous said...

I don't know what to say, I am so sorry for you. I will phone on Friday to see if you are home.

I just have to write and tell you that I'm thinking about you. If I win the lottery tomorrow night, I'll be on a flight over the pond and will find your hospital so I can hold your hand.

While I know it sounds trite and wishful thinking-ish, life goes on, love never stops and prayer works. Agreed on all points-rest, don't worry about anything else but getting well-no one is going anywhere. Take good care, Mel.

If I'm not around for a bit don't worry about me... I got a call yesterday saying there was a cancelation and the doctor doing my op had an opening so they want me in today. Gotta be at a hospital that's almost an hour away by 8:00 am today and I'm having the op some time today.

BLOODY HELL - WHERE DID YOU LOT COME FROM?

IM HOME, CAME HOME FROM HOSPITAL AROUND TEATIME YESTERDAY (FRIDAY).... IM TOTALLY EXHAUSTED, AND DRUGGED UP TO THE EYEBALLS, SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME IF I DONT GET AROUND TO REPLYING OR GETTING TO YOU BLOBS UNTIL HOPEFULLY TOMORROW....

JUST TO SAY, IM HOME WITH BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND FOR THE TIME BEING.... ITS BEEN A VERY VERY HARD DIFFICULT 5 DAYS..... I TOLD MATIES NOT TO VISIT...I HAD MUCH THINKING TO DO.. SO THAT ALSO HAS BEEN HARD...

ANYWAYS, FANKS FOR THE COMMENTS AND FOR THE EMAILS AND THE PHONE CALLS...... where would I be without ya...(((((Toadies - France))))).... ok, tears now.... til tomorrow OXO

JBelle said...

I had a lovely, lovely visit with a very dear friend of mine this morning. I'm afraid she's come upon a patch of really bad luck; it's just a shame, too, because she doesn't deserve one minute of it all. She is a magnificent person and a marvelous spirit of joy and laughter for all her many friends and the dozens and dozens and dozens of people who care about her. It's really hard because she has to be really, really tough at this time--not that she hasn't been tough her whole life. But now she's got to kick the sh*t out of the stairs, every hour, because she has to fight for survival and she's all by herself. Except her friends, which she has by the thousands. It's ironic for a person who has more fans that David Beckham to be alone. But somehow she is. Except for the legions of people, far and wide, who care about her. Really care about her. So my love to you and my prayer is for your fight; who knows what kingdom lies beyond this mountain? And if you can count the stars in the sky tonight, that's how much you are loved and those are all your friends, bright in the sky even if a long way away.

Hi sweet girl,

Glad to hear you are home and on both feet. Did your doctor say all went well? Just take it nice and slow with the recovery. Rest, eat well and get some sunshine out in your garden.

I say pet the cats and the chicks...hug those lads and take the rest of it one day at a time. Problems don't seem so big for me if I just look at getting through this day.

I'm thinking fond thoughts of you and sending get well wishes too.

When all else fails have a chocolate bar...or send someone out to bring you back one of those huge good looking scones to have with your tea.

Love to you Marmie,
xxxJolie

Glad that you are back in the land of blobs.

I mentioned to McTavish that you were poorly and he TOLD me to make sure I pass on his best wishes and he said "oh how the tables have turned, now it's my turn to ask about her"

Thanks for the water for my hoss and for the open door invitation all I ask is that you have one of the lads to brasso my armour ... tis looking a bit jaded after riding through the typical Brit weather ;)

Best scots wishes and hugs to you for a speedy and full recovery ... haggis is on the way LOL

Well, Mel, I'm SO glad you're home now...you got home a lot quicker than the doctor originally predicted, didn't you? As usual, do rest up, and take care of yourself...let those big boys do for their mother!! You're ever in my prayers!! I hope the healing is quick this time, girl!! Love you, Jeanne in Idaho xoxoxo

Thanks for all the hugs and thoughts and such. I know you'd have been there if you could have been. *hugs* :)

I did get to come home after just one night. Wasn't feeling up to doing anything until today though.

Well, Mel, thinkin' bout you and feelin' for you. It's all we can do, offer our strength and support.

Be well. You're strong and vibrant and full of life and piss n' vinegar.

Take a swig, spit it out and everything will turn out fine.
