May I ask when you last had a G.A. and if you were ok?
I can't remember to be honest - years ago so I can't remember it.
On the 15th of June I will have given up smoking two years Pats.
I had a bad start to today with the shakes again - always get that now if I'm anxious so I try to calm myself down but I lost it temporarily in front of someone I really didn't want to know about my depression etcetera.
That's the problem really, trying to hold yourself together when you know you are teetering on the edge, especially in public because you feel everyone's looking at you, judging you, maybe even pitying you and you really do not want that at all, just understanding.
I've been busy doing gardening and other things as we have friends coming round - it takes my mind off everything.
I know the Op will still go ahead - I'm panicking, dreading it NOT going ahead but they are just concerned about my low lung capacity.
I've had a cold again and it always goes to my chest but if I can swim 23 lengths of a 25 metre swimming pool in 35 minutes surely that must indicate that although I cannot blow until the widget on the scale goes to normal, I can still swim and work hard without getting to puffed out.
Sorry I got all maudlin. stevmk2
