I am not alone
Sat here watching something on BBC iplayer when, suddenly something caught my attention out the corner of my eye.
There is a bloody great spider on my living room wall.
aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh. Nasty big black thing. Yuck. I am off to bed so it can have the living room to its self.

Continuing on an upward trend.
Today I continue to feel better, helped by enjoying some hilarity this morning. When questioned about how to deal with a burn a colleague replied "apply the cat"! Not aware of that particular method and not having a cat its not one I could try, though the guinea pig might make a fair substitute.
Pain is still very much there but, I am busy catching up on sleep. Unfortunately this means that I have missed the J.John event tonight, that I am saddened about because its a fantastic event.
The other day I was on a first aid course, one of these were you are shown how to do it and then practise on each other. It served as a reminder how fragile my shoulder is getting even before I got to the practicing/been practiced on stage I was concerned about the discomfort it was going to cause.
My friend made an interesting observation tonight my op takes place 4 weeks and one day after her poor dog has his balls removed. Good luck for tomorrow Fred!
One other note is that I have rang the hospital today and confirmed that I will be there on the 26th June.

Feeling better
I am pleased to report that I am feeling much better, the golden wedding celebrations were lovely and I have been able to catch up on sleep this afternoon.
One thing I did fail to mention in my earlier post is that my mood was a much to do with an incident that occured last night as much it was to do with tiredness and pain. Unfortunately as much as I want to share it on my blog I am unable to due to nature of the incident that occured.

One month to go!
This morning I feel like crap, I am a total wreck.
I had an horrendous night last night with constant stabbing pain and little relief from my painkillers, this may in part due to the fact that I kept throwing the buggers up! I am now very well aquainted with the inside of my toilet bowl. To add further to the pain I moved my arm at 6am and felt a crack as bones collided and pain shot through my arm like a bolt.
So now I am up, a weepy emotional wreck aware that one month today I will be on the ward and waiting to go to theatre, it's all getting too much at the minute. This is further compounded by peoples kind offers of help while a cetain close relative who lives up the road sits on a bar stool and doesn't give two hoots. Without my friends I would be lost, last night I was so touched when my friends collegue and friend offered me the use of her shower when ever I need it knowing that getting in and out the bath will be a near impossible task.
What I need to do now is get up and dressed and put on my best smiley face, I am getting adept at hiding behind a mask, a mask that hides my true feelings though this morning I feel that it will be a harder than normal task to hide my emotions but it is my friends Golden wedding anniversary and at 11am they are having a service of thanksgiving in the church they were married followed by a buffet in a local hotel and I don't want to be the one responsible for spoiling their very special day.

Sore shoulder blogging
When this blog was born I wanted it to be a place where I could spout off whatever I chose but, it seems that this have more and more evolved into "woman with painful shoulder blog".
In the coming weeks I know that my shoulder and the forthcoming op will be a bigger and bigger focus of my blog but, I want to talk about more than that so watch this space I have posts lined on other things including my jaunt to Barcelona.
What I do plan to do and I appreciate that it might be a bit boring for my readings so apologies in advance is for the next six months make an entry each day on how I feel with regards to my shoulder so that I have a day by day diary to look back on allowing me to chart my recovery and to remind me on bad post operative days why I had my op.
Todays entry simply reads "Ow!"

Another letter.
Another letter landed today, this one to inform me what time to turn up for my operation.
The time I need to be there is dependent on where I am on the list. When I had my eye done I was late on the list so I had to hang around the house until lunchtime which wasn't pleasant and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go through a repeat of that.
Reading the letter it appears unlikely, the letter states that I have to be there at 7.45am, the day surgery centre opens at 7.30am so fingers crossed I am very early on the list and aren't left sitting around waiting to go down for surgery.
The letter stated that I am to stop eating at midnight and no fluids from 6am, same instructions as I had for my eye. I remember on that occasion drinking a litre of juice and immediately regretting it my stomach was agony.
All that is left to do now is to ring them to tell them I will be there.
As an after note they also inform me I will not be able to drive following surgery. That's stating the bleeding obvious!
