Re: Carers under 30...

Thanks @outlander potential benefits of moving are there, now it is down to the practical of getting the place tidied up ... walls, doors, skirting boards, etc all needing a thorough once over. No need to ask what I will be doing over the next week or two ... yikes 😬.

Equine activities for you today? (Or as I like to think of it as "horsing around" 😀).

How is the car situation?

hey @Former-Member
im hoping this makes sense....

i am really nervous and really frazzled for this op in november for many reasons but its making me fret over quite a few things more so accomodation.

Ive been told that ill need to be there a day early for pre-admissions and that is between 730 and 11 in the morning so its pretty early. so im not sure whether to stay there the night before pre accomodation or not. as its so far away itll be around a 5am train ride or i can drive which will be about the same but i can come back then go back on the pre admisson in the arvo. im worried the kids are going to miss to much school otherwise. and then im debating if i should jsut come home straight after the op or if i should stay a night or 2 up there.

so maybe if i put it into perspective itll make sense....

13th- pre-op admissions
14th-op day

to i dont know whether to stay the 12th r just do a day trip and then come back

and then i dont know if i should stay a night or 2 after the op or if i should just go home while im not in complete agony..

@outlander

Let's look at the facts first.

1. You will not be allowed to drive for 24 hours post anaesthetic.

2. You will need a responsible person with you the night after the anaesthetic.

With that in mind - who will be the person who will look after you post procedure?

Re: Carers under 30...

i know i wont be able to drive they have actually said 48 hrs @Former-Member so ill need help at least during that time and have been told the post op isnt to bad but then the 3-4 days after are completely awful and thats usually when i like to be in the comofrt of my own home. the thing that comes into it more is where i am they arent as experienced with this sort of thing so i worry if i go home and something goes wrong it wont be the best treatment sort of thing.

because its 2 hrs away the family will be coming with me- mum, her bf and the kids which is rather overwhelming but i dont have anyone else unless i book a hotel room for them and then one for me and hire a nurse for the night
