Just a wee cake lol !!

Hiyas to one and all..thought id pop in and wish you all a good day....my days are pretty long at the moment and my knee is improving although i havent had a good nights sleep in ages as i get all snuggly..and i dont seem to move around much in my sleep so my knee gets stiff and very painfull it wakes me and i just cant get back off...so im totally knacked....someones pinched my mojo too..so ant a happy bunnie i feel good in myself but sick off not being able to go anywhere (like craft shopping) in my car...even a trot or hobble round tescos is a painful marathon..so afraid hubbie is on his own today...i did however have a play on sat night i have a friend who like a wee few of us (more off a cetain age ) women have sudden urges for the loo..and tenar ladies are the standing or should i say the sitting joke i bet youve heard them all if i laugh pmsl ..if i sneeze oops lol..make sure you go 10 times before going out .(in case)so as its her birthday and she loves my nappie cakes i made her one replacing the nappies with tennar ladies just for a giggle and filled it with lady goodies instead of baby products..complete with a cuddly friend a tiny pefume bottle ....all wrapped in a fluffly white towel....and she has a wicked sense of humour and laughed that much on the phone last night i reckon shes used them all hehehe.......i hope you like my cake with a twist...people do say in mad..well now i believe them lol have a good day what ever your up to and thanks for popping in it means such alot...loves to you all..keep safe and dry lol!!!! xx

OP update.....

Well a big hello from me to all you fabby friend's out there......im home hooray!!!i had my op at 10 -30 monday morning.......oh my word was i scared....and i soaked a couple of anesthetists with my tears.....but how kind are they...my tumour has now gone i had it drained and i have a few pills to take inhibitors....for the last few fragments and as i had to have my back anesthetised for the drain it was decided i should have my knee removed with a spinal injection..instead of a general....but the sedatin also put me under and i slept all the way through i woke just as they were bandaging...the ruddy needle into my spine was awfully painful..but i got a cuppa tea earlier than if i had a general.....phew i neded a cuppa......and although very sleepy for the rest of monday and tuesday all went ok....untill the dreaded gastapo arrived (physio) arggggggggggggg!!!!waiting till i could once again feel my legs.... (that was a funnny experience)i did of coursse ask how do peeps have babies with this sorta injection but it is different epidural for them mine took out all feeelings from the waist down...that felt ever so strange..but 4 hrs later at least i wasnt in pain till it wore off then by heck it reallly was sore and no way could i even liift my leg....but them physio well **COME ON..YOU Can Do it **NO I screamed** oh yes you can....felt like apantomime lol....so once id managed to slide my leg i was up on my frame.....feltvery much like a kiddie taking her first steps.....and of course i set of on the wrong foot....but after what seemed like 27 trips around my bed...was 2 actually hahha.....i managed to hobble.....but a very proud hobble......so after another three sessions with the gastapo.....i was progresing....of course it hurt loads but i was chuffed iwas upbut it didnt stop there back on the bed with other exercises bit like a imbering up session.i did also ask them if either had had a knee replaement cause it ant easy to bend aknee swollen to three times its nomal size and 32 staples down the middle ..well that i didnt go so well at and pray tell why do physios shout louder than other staff i politley told her i hadnt had major surgery on my ears .. im just just a cripple and i could hear what she was saying without her shouting..erm she didnt like that so im off her christmas card list......so the next day well pleased it seemd the hobble felt a better hobble especially better as know id progressed to sticks...and although i shouldnt have emulated them as guns when the phsios walked in..even with the vocals of world war two gun replicas.....or a darleck pointing at them etxerminate hahhahah ooops i think i did it again....anyways x rays on wednesday were good and leg is much straigter.....and after my protest march to say iwas strong enough to go home even to the point of saying i could climb the hmymalayas i finally got home at 5-00...........think they were glad to get rid....so now have the **SWATT TEAM*** for the next few days to carryon the sessions and im sure ill do better.....oh and answers on a post card if you know waht the SWATT team means..lol as.i stilll dont know

IM still here...and a bad blogger with cakes and no calories lol
