Hi everyone this is Cath. Cath has been in my life for 16 months. I didn’t like her when we first met, she really got under my skin but after a while she grew on me and I became quite attached to her haha! Today she left! Well she was evicted. Wooooohhhhhhoooo!!! Bye bye Cath thanks for helping to save my life xxx

    @lgray3911 was it much of a deal to have it out? Any sedation or just a local?

    @Vangirl was so easy! Checked in was taken in. Local anaesthetic administered and was all done and dusted in about 20 mins. Was able to go straight home had 2 panadol and have had nothing since. A bit tender today but no pain xx

    Congrats, you had a very nice ‘cath’
    i just had 2 weeks in hospital after ‘emerengcy surgery’, then another cut a week later to remove my little hitchiker due to infection trying to get into my blood. Now recovery with two huge holes in my chest ( wont share photos) lol yukko
    My  Cath & I had some serious words on her behaviour, she is now been banned from returning to this establishment. But I must say her bro, picc, wasnt as nice as her. Lol

    Well done!  I said bye to mine to back in March.  I rolled the scar area with Bepanthen scar heeling cream and the bottle has a small prickly like ball to smooth out the lumpy skin.  Worked well but needs a little pressure. No thinking of some Dermal filling for it
