I'm not going to tell him.....

Brilliant GA Think what a depressing time you would all have been having if you'd told him. His holiday would have been spoiled, the children would have been upset and you would have felt guilty as well as worried.

How nice to have a man who understands

ga 'you can't keep a good woman down!'
And you certainly are good woman.
You have put everybody before your self.
I know you will get through this.
Just let everybody at least be there for you now ga

Oh grannya what a tremendous relief for you - not only to have him home again, but to have been able to unburden yourself on him and have his full support and understanding. You sound like a rock solid couple. I feel very hopeful that all will continue to be well for you x

Hooray - The Wonderful Man is home and has heard my confession. Fortunately he absolutely understood my thinking and is very grateful that I did spare him (and our children) the knowledge - and especially the decision of whether to continue with the cycle ride. Pulling out would definitely have meant explaining why he'd done so to the children and with exams to be taken that would have been an unnecessary burden for them.

It is very good to have him home and to be able to talk openly about it. I've never kept anything of importance from him before and it wasn't easy, but I'm glad I did. He's as brown as a nut and has had a lovely adventure and now he's working on the allotment as I sit here drinking tea. All is well.

Thanks for being a listening ear once again pals.

I also has anaesthetic problems, explained three years ago, process adjusted and all was well so, please do tell everyone responsible for your care. I'm sure you and your MiL will be delighted to see you DH and have him share the load. Good luck, will be thinking of you. Sending and

Thinking of you ga and wishing you a speedy recovery post anaesthetic

Fingers crossed

Good luck from me too ga, hope the news will be all good.

Good luck with the biopsy ga. I hope all goes well. Glad that the timings worked out well an your DH will be there for support. for you, from me.

Ah sorry, I hadn't read the full thread and didn't notice the date. Please ignore my wholly irrelevant post.

Still wishing you well and sending positive vibes though.

If it were me I'd tell my DH purely to allow him to make his own decision armed with the same information that you have. I'm not a worrier I suppose I'm an optimist as far as health is concerned so my choice to tell him wouldn't be based on fear of what could be but simply to treat him as an equal. I wouldn't and haven't told anyone other than him in similar circumstances.

Wishing you a positive outcome.

Sending you and ga Let's hope the bipsy gives you the all clear. (I love your choice of the word 'worrisome', it's the first time I've heard it in years! It goes with 'tiresome' and 'bothersome'. So descriptive!)

What a brave, wonderful, selfless person you are*ga*. I hope all goes well for you

Thanks for the tip about telling the anaesthetist about the sickness - I've always suffered from terrible sickness for days afterwards - hopefully s/he can give me something to avoid it this time.

One son has now finished exams and the other one will be done by a week tomorrow, so I feel I've managed not to add an unnecessary burden and can tell them all the (hopefully good) news when the deed is done.

Good luck from me too Ga - just realised the coincidence in your abbreviated name! You know we are all wishing you well.

Glad that OH will be with you to deal with the sick!! I hope that it all goes well - you seem to be getting excellent speedy treatment and they are being very thorough. Good luck with it all.

I second looplou's suggestion - I was very sick after a GA, and told the anaesthetist the next time I needed one. He adjusted the drugs accordingly and I was absolutely fine afterwards.

Good luck ga, I am keeping everything crossed for you. and (((hugs)))

Very much keeping my fingers crossed for you ga, I too wouldn't have told my DH.

Do tell the anaesthetist that ga's make you very sick, there are new drugs that they can give you before you come round. The last time I had a ga, four years ago, was the first time I hadn't been sick for days afterwards.

? and hug x

Here's hoping for good news soon

UPDATE no 3:
My consultant has been on holiday so I only got my results letter today. He says there is a need for me to have a biopsy under general anaesthetic, but that I can go home from hospital the same day.

Fortunately my Wonderful Man will be home on Saturday, so the timing is very good - I am always very sick after a general anasthaetic so I wouldn't have wanted to have that procedure without him nearby to look after me. I'm still feeling very positive and lots of friends are praying for me, but my poor mother in law is very worried now, I can tell.

Keeping everything crossed for you. So pleased you have your MiL's support - she sounds like a gem, lucky you!

ga just [hugs], pleased you have the support of your MiL.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you ga.

So glad you had a lovely time and your DH is doing all the things he wanted to do. Your PIL sound lovely. Praying that all will be well for you.

(((hugs))) Ga - please keep us posted.
