Can you take a minute to pop by to Joyce's journal and give her some support.

For some reason, her latest posting does not appear and you would have to leave comments under her previous posting. She goes into hospital tomorrow for surgery.

This is taken from her journal entry alert:-

I have waited two years to get this operation and finally it is going to happen. I am feeling worried, nervous but also relieved that something is eventually being done about all the pain I have been suffering. I don't know exactly what my surgeon will be doing and I don't think he knows either. It will all depend on what he finds when he sees the condition of my kidney. If he cannot repair it he is going to cut the nerves in the hope that that will end my pain. That would be the easiest option for me I think as it can be done with key-hole surgery rather than a full major operation.

I think it is the uncertainty of what is going to be done that worries me. I could be in hospital for a couple of days or a couple of weeks. Here's hoping it is only days.

We have been very lucky with our next door neighbors as they do a lot for us and they are going to keep an eye on my hubby for me while I am in so that I do not have to worry too much about him. He has been very unwell with his new medication and his bloods have dropped so low that he has been taken off the treatment for a week or so. Hopefully the doctor will allow him to continue with the treatment shortly. I think that so much has happened to me, my hubby's brother and also my hubby that it has been too much stress and a worry for him that his doctor thought it would be better to give him a break from his treatment until things calm down a bit.

My operation will be over tomorrow and his brother is slowly improving after his massive stroke so he should not have as much to worry about and can then concentrate on himself and restart his treatment.

I would like to thank all my friends out there in hometown who have sent me get well wishes and I will let you all know when I am back home and on line again. The e: mails and cards I have received have been lovely and have cheered me up a great deal. Just keep your fingers crossed for me that I will be out for my birthday on 7th May.

Till my next entry take care all of you and God bless.
