Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Dear Dawn, I remember well how sacred I was before my removal, on the operating table I made my ps promise me he wouldnt let me die, he promised and told me on one ever had before and he wouldnt let me. When I came round my dad was sitting next to my bed, I can tell you the relief was instant I had survived and those rotten things gone forever, the pain was minimal nothing like when I had them out in, I was really pleased. Try not to worry to badly, easier said than done I know but I promise you its not like having them in. Take care you will be fine. Sue.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Dawn, I can sooooo relate to that elephant on your chest. I read your share about that elephant, and then I saw this clip on tv about a circus elephant that ran wild and out into the city streets. She was destroying everything in her angry path. I can't wait to get rid of my elephant either. When is your explant? My short-term memory has problems. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi J, My explant is scheduled for 4/13. Three more weeks, 21 more days. The wait is grueling. My short term memory has problems too! Dawn Re: getting ready for explant DAWN Dawn, I can sooooo relate to that elephant on your chest.
