Going Solo

So, my reconstruction operation is this coming Monday 27th May, and yep...Im going alone...

Feeling pretty crappy about it all to be really honest... just wondering how other people have got through all this alone...if anyone has had to?

Admitting myself to hospital on Monday morning, and there won't be anyone there when I wake up, then i'll get myself back on a plane a few days later and fly home alone.

  • Thanks so much.  My husband runs his own business and is so busy that he has to be there, my mum is having our children, and I just bring myself to ask a friend.  Im scared most about staying in Perth in a hotel on my own on Sunday night.... 

    Its an awful situation but I guess I just have to be okay.

    I am so sorry you will be going through your surgery on your own.  Is it not possible for you to have someone there for you when you wake up.  Where are you having your surgery?

    I think the nurses will spoil you and will be more than attentive knowing your circumstances.

    I didn't have to be on my own for my surgeries but I did do a large part of my journey on my own.

     Make sure you take something special with you that you can cuddle and don't forget the ear plugs will you.

    I am surprised they will be letting you fly so soon after surgery.

    If it helps, I will be thinking of you on Monday and sending you very warm and comforting hugs to help you through your day. Lots of love coming your way.  Mich xoxoxoxo
