Oh i only just saw this! Thank you so much for thinking of me! I'm alright - i got an infection in my fallopian tube after everything and i have an appointment on Monday to see if my left ovary might need to be removed as there was so much scarring - if so it might affect my fertility but I don't know if i want kids tbh. If i do i might need medical help but mr C agrees with me, it could have been alot worse and I'm alive which might not have been the case!

Thank you lovely - I've been pretty zoned out over the past week or so from all the codeine but even if we get told I need the ovary removed and it reduces my fertility it's not the end of the world - mr C was adopted and we've always talked about maybe doing that rather than having biological kids if we want any at all so it's much less of an issue than it would be for most

Wishing you all the best, Jay-Cloth. I only have one ovary left after a benign tumour attached itself to the other one and had to have it removed when I was in my early 20s. I know it's just anecdotal but I've been pregnant a few times since, in case that gives you a bit of reassurance.

Wishing you all the best for Monday. What you’ve been through must be so hard physically, and emotionally, but it sounds like you have such an amazing attitude towards things

Sorry you’ve been through the wringer JCC, and it sounds like absolutely no Urban Decay was required to complete the look

Hope all goes well and that you have a speedy and minimally painful recovery

I’m so sorry you’re potentially going through another surgery, I know you said you don’t want kids but I just had to say it’s still possible if you ever choose to! Also lost my left ovary (all the eggs were destroyed by tumours tho so it was fuuuucked) and was inconsolable, managed to conceive 4 months later even tho my body was in recovery from major surgery that needed 6-12 months rest and recovery! It’s more than possible and if it’s not, there’s means, and because you’re already under consultant care in the NHS that consultant can start making referrals etc (although I think it’s a bit of a postcode lottery - there was a thing in the news about this??). I know it’s hard to believe but it can still happen & happen relatively easily I promise

ETA - also if you want to deliver vaginally it’s still an option because they won’t make cuts on the uterus. The world is your oyster, it’s definitely a shock but it’s not the end!

Sending you love, Jay Cloth Cow. Remember to treat yourself as you would a friend going through the same thing. xxx

Just wanted to send lots of love to @Jay-cloth Cow - that is a whole load of *stuff* to be going through. I think the PALS thing is maybe a good idea (though possibly because I am considering similar myself) but get the mixed emotions about it. Sorry, feels like me-railing, but I'm thinking of talking to my cancer hospital about my recent experience there after 10 years of just amazing treatment something happened that really upset me and I guess I feel like it's about reflexive practice and all that. Though right now, you shouldn't feel like you have to think about it at all and just concentrate on getting through this bit. Also HTRIA is, as always, very wise.

Hello to everyone else. I've been BUSY (also, head stuff has been bad) but have missed you trolls and your chat a lot.

FLUMPS!! How are you?! How’s the house move going?!

I get why you’d feel undecided about complaining after 10 years of great care, but you deserve top care every single time and you’ll feel better for having flagged it and potentially avoided it happening to you again, or somebody else. The NHS is great and heavily dependent on people’s kindness (shamefully!) but it doesn’t mean it’s beyond reproach xx

Hello love. Rather like the mill of the gods house moves appear to grind exceedingly slow and exceedingly fine. But we're getting there. On the legal bit now, which I believe is at least approaching the finish line. So, hopefully, in the next 6 weeks or so we'll be the proud owners of a ridiculous house made of wood (I didn't not listen closely to the Three Little Pigs as a child) and 10 acres of woodland. Then it's just a matter of reconfiguring the place, sorting out the woodland, learning some animal husbandry, acquiring some animals and then retiring as much as possible from the outside world, like the hermit I was always destined to be!

Sound ideal. Soon we will have a whole host of farm animals to cheer us all up.

I have tested + today after having a rollercoaster temp for a couple of days. How long does the bodypain and exhaustion last? In the space of a week I have gone from being able to run 5k to struggling with stairs. I am quite scared.

Sorry to hear that - the key thing with the ‘rona Is that it ebbs and flows so at some point you will feel ok and do something fancy like going to the shop and then all the symptoms will come back and you’ll think you will never get well. You will, it just takes ages and involves a few long dark nights of the soul. Luckily you’ll be too knackered to howl or claw at the floor. It’s a very different style of illness and recovery. Just do as little as possible. Now is the time to get Netflix or similar.

Oh you poor thing, that sounds so grim. Lots of love. Do all the resting. It's horrible to be ill anyway, but with Covid there's so much extra worry because of all the talk of it isn't there. Not that I mean it's nothing, but you know, it makes it more frightening.

I haven't had corona but I find when I am ill I like re watching old favourites, no point trying to struggle through something new, you just need comfort. hope you feel better soon

Not rona related but I’ve always found tonic water (quinine!) good for achy legs. Might be worth a shot If someone can get it for you. Get better soon!
