Another Appointment!
I am led to believe that the appointments are now over and all there is left is Operation Day, Well bring it on, I couldn’t be more ready.
Today I was talked through the operation, again, only the third time, I don’t need to hear about skin envelopes, scars, drains, tattooed nipples, big bras and bound boobs any more. Had plenty of blood taken, swabbed for MRSA, urine sample completed and had an ECG. Human MOT over I’m ready to continue to the next stage.
HRT and I have been best friends for 11 years and I wouldn’t change that for anything but now we have parted company it’s hell. I miss her. The sweats are worse than ever and the waking in the night is getting ridiculous. ( Look forward to having drug induced sleep next week) My consultant mentioned a “Chillow”, a pillow that cools. As soon as I was near a device to order one I did. That lovely company you see who do shitty ads on TV for things you never would need but always think you might, JML, had one. Now I am the proud and incredibly happy owner of a JML Chillmax Pillow. It’s a “naturally cooling gel pillow” that REALLY works. I am still waking and hot but with my new Chillmax pillow it relieves the heat and I go back to sleep much quicker. 5* rating from me.
Glorious Day
