Well hi, everyone.
I have lots to update you on about my escapades in hospital. Some highs and some lows.
Thank you so much to everyone who sent a message. Or who just thought about me. I have appreciated them, but looking at my phone or computer at the moment is just a painful mess of letters that swim in orders that I don’t think is where I asked them to go. And I’m not sure they’re even the words I had asked for anyway. But I probably fell asleep in the middle of the sentence anyway so I’m not really sure… And even a few moments of screen time really hurts.
But the short summary is…
The surgery ended up being 12 hours long. But the good news is that they think it was successful. We’ll find out in a few weeks when we get the histology report.
The pain is wild, and I am hallucinating like crazy. Phantom eye sight seems to be a thing.
I am still in hospital, I’m not sure how long it will be for this time around.
But as I am incredibly exhausted now, I shall have to leave you until later to give you any more info.
But we made it through this bit, though this recovery part feels pretty significant too. As expected.
Clarence sends his love too, he said to tell you he’s making loads of new friends and is looking after me well.
Love to you all and good night,
Jen xxx
P.S. remember the swelling is at its worse around day 4-5. Woohoo.

Hi Jen
I’ve followed your blog for a while but been a ‘lurker’ – just wanted to get in touch to wish you well in recovery – you’re amazing !
Stay strong and keep your fantastic attitude – you’re an inspiration to so many no doubt about that

So glad that you survived the surgery – just keep hanging on in there.
I was having collages of people’s faces appear when I closed my eyes and I was also hearing music playing really vividly for several days after my last general anaesthetic – that was nothing compared to what you are going through, but I’ll try to send some gentle & entertaining hallucinations your way to help pass the time 🙂

I’m guessing right now you probably don’t feel that strong. But you sure are. Our strength is tested most when we feel weak. And we can only be brave when we are feeling scared but push through anyway. And you might feel that you have no choice. But you do have a choice about how you approach things. And you inspire us all. We are so glad you are thru the surgery

Did the Universe not get the memo?
The memo that this Jen has already been through enough challenges and proved herself to be a resilient (and amazing) human being. Universe din get that????
Coz we got that.
Ages ago…and this extra eye surgery chapter? We feel was unnecessary (and uncalled for to say the least). We say just let this girl get on with her life.
You are in my thoughts. And we’re sending our Oms to you from Mona Vale every Thursday morning.
I’m sending you good thoughts, good wishes and all the blessings in the world that I can muster. I hope your recovery from the surgery is swift and successful.
Go gently in your recovery Jen and stay strong. You are loved!
