Apparently I'm now at week 3 stage even though its been 7 weeks if that makes sense. I'm actually starting to feel better - still as tired but the wings requirement is less frequent after a trip to the hospital.
I actually went out today for a little walk with Mr Harris as the weather was so nice - he reckoned it was like taking his mum out for the day! Cheek of it! It's amazing how things change so quickly - we walked passed a clothes shop and the last time I looked it was all swimming costumes and sun hats - now it's coats and woollie pullies!
I can tell I'm healing inside now as everything feels tight - you know when you cut yourself and it starts to dry out - well it's the same sort of thing. My sleep pattern is totally shot - still in bagpuss mode! Have an appointment on Friday to check up with the Docs and discuss further and hopefully now I'm healing I can start the HRT and then get back to work. I was talking to Steve the other night and said I didn't realise how poorly I'd been until I actually thought about work. This was the first time in many weeks which is very unlike me. In fact I had thought about nothing at all for weeks and it just shows how easily anyone can remove themselves from society and hide away!
Anyway the sooner I get back into life the better - I decided that I wanted to make a cake so Mr H got out the bowls and ingredients so all I had to do was mix and tell him when to get it out of the oven. So flour, butter, sugar in the bowl and he left a carrier bag on the side for me to put the egg shells in so no reaching etc. I cracked the eggs and started the electric mixer. Steve came over and asked what I was doing - errr dumb making a cake I replied but it's really dry for some reason. Steve was referring to the fact that I had cracked the eggs into the carrier bag and then put the shells in there too - you see it is just so easy to loose your train of thought so quickly when you haven't had to think about anything for some time!
Steve has been offered a 9 month consultancy in Bournemouth which is brilliant and Connor starts his new college on Friday - nice reality check!
Connor also passed his English which he had to retake which he is really chuffed with and celebrated by having his windows tinted on his little half car! When he takes his mates out in it they look like the "inbetweeners" which is really funny especially as they are all 6 feet tall and he only comes in at 5 feet 4!
So hopefully the worst has passed and we can all get back to noraml - what ever normal is!

Only me!
Things just aren't getting any easier - still heavily invested in Bodyform so another trip to the Doctors - well another new face at the surgery and the receptionists all know my first name now! Have you ever noticed that they all have the same hairstyle and colour! They are all styled by M&S too!
New doctor and she is so young - think she is newly qualified as she seems so timid and uneasy with the arrival of Mr and Mrs H! Talk through with her that I am not feeling any better and still roller blading so she advises quietly that she needs me up on the bed for an examination! Easy - not - its so high and there is no step in sight - anyway after stripping off and a most indignant climb I'm in position!
She has drawn all the curtains around me and I can hear her rustling around talking herself through her checklist of implements required minus a head lamp of course.
You can tell she is nervous as she shakily tells me that she will be using a speculum which may be uncomfortable. She gets the swabs that she needs and as she is collecting up her tools of the trade I cough - how embrassing - the speculum is now at the end of the bed and she is completely out of her comfort zone and Mr H is hyperventilating! Only me!
She also tells me that I am not allowed to start HRT until the infection has cleared - I'm sure that is not true and she just wanted us out of her room!
She calls the hospital and they will call me direct to go back in so another course of different antibiotics and now waiting for a call from the hospital! She advises me that this is not normal as I would have been fine if I did not have the infection or granulation - again only me!
Well I upset Steve today - he didn't get his job - he has several other interviews lined up so fingers crossed! I told him that there would definately be a vacancy at MI6 - he told me that I should be shot for being so sick! I thought it was quite funny.
The hospital called and I have an appointment for this Friday - hopefully this could put me on the right road! I mean by now I should be worn out from recouperation shopping trips etc not waddling around the same four walls and a couple of trips to half of Asda!
However I am feeling better in myself despite (head in gear) all these little challenges!

Care in the Community
Have been very poorly the last few days - just for a change - doctor called and need to go see him on Tuesday as I have upped my shares in Rollerblading and the blood count has dropped extremely low which accounts for the affair with the kingsize snuggle! One minute I'm shivering and the next I am soaking from over heating!
Stevo had an interview in Petersfield yesterday and asked if I would go with him and that he would go the scenic route as I should get out of the house! I agreed - well this was strange having to get up, think about what to wear and make myself presentable all to a time scale!
The scenic route led to finding every pothole in Hampshire which felt like we were off roading - I spent 35 minutes holding my stomach, saying ouch and repeatedly asking are we there yet! This didn't actually help with his nerves either :)!
We made it to the town centre car park! Steve parked up and off he went to his interview leaving me in the car! Well I couldn't get out as he had parked so close to bike railings that my door wouldn't open - oh well I thought its raining anyway!
Thank goodness I didn't have to get out - there they were - cerise fluffy slippers on my size 6's. I started to chuckle thinking that just shows you how in a marriage you can just get too damn complacent! Steve had not even noticed and they are the brightest pink ever! My chuckling had been noticed by an old couple who gave me the "look at the nutter in the car" look and then the "Ah is such a shame she's not that old look!"
Still that took 20 minutes away. Down with the visor vanity mirror - it's so close - should have brought the tweezers! Thought I would check out the grey hair situation - what the hell - one eye naked! The other fully mascarered with a wonky eye liner! Oh dear I'm slightly out of practice! Now do I need to concentrate more and start writing checklists for normal daily tasks or do I need a carer!
Steve's interview went well and they have asked him back for a second - best leave him to do this one on his own!
I can't wait to start feeling better - today I haven't even got dressed and then ended up in so much pain from laughing at Steve slip up straight on his back on the wet decking - it was so funny and the marks left on his t-shirt look like tyre tracks - it was just so funny - he thought no-one was watching but I had just walked into the kitchen just in time to witness! He is now walking around like a bell ringer!
Connor is back from Alton Towers and the most you get out of him is "It was sick!" - welcome to the Harris household!

Estivation!
So you were all thinking - she's gone on holiday whilst being off sick - well sorry to disappoint you all but I'm having an affair - with my new bed!
The most stressful part of my days since Friday has been what PJs to wear! I feel like bagpuss in a car accident, I look like Pauline Quirke and I smell like - well you've all watched life of grime! Still on the third and final set of anti-biotics and if no change then back into hospital for me! Apparently when you heal inside it all goes a bit granular, then crystalises and heals - well Ive over caramalised and am liquifying like a load of old toffee! I will find out beginning of next week if I need to go back in and be cauterized - that to me sounds like branding some old cow!
Will keep you posted!
Mr H has decided that since the Op I seem to have worn the trousers - I gentley reminded him that actually that is the only thing that hasn't changed!
Mum and Dad are back from Lyme for a fleeting visit to check that I haven't been resculpting the garden etc - Did you know that my Mum even irons pants! What is that all about - she irons MY pants now too - bet she has to put them over the end of the ironing board!
So they will rule our lives for the next few days until the weather changes again and they will be off back to Lyme Regis to further exhaust their national trust membership and free binoculars!
Had a visit from Ads and Gavin - which was great - they are absolutley hilarious together and Gavin hugged me too hard when he left which left me in agony!
I have decided that as my pre-conceived idea of have the op - 2 weeks to recover - 4 weeks shopping and socialising has completely been quashed that I would start up the campaign of "I hate Doctors Receptionists!" Who do they think they are - you call press the correct option for an appointment and then they say if you want a same day appointment it is classed as an emergency! But I'm not dying but need to see the doctor sooner rather than later and then they proceed to ask what's wrong - I mean have they had medical training??? Did they study for 6 years? Or the other annoying thing is you call press the relevant option the receptionist tells you to redial and select a different option and then you get the same bloody woman! And another thing they all have the same haircut!
Wow I feel much better already lol!
So basically I'm no further forward now than I was 5 weeks ago other than my hair is more grey and I'm sleeping like some hibernating bear!

How to look good naked!
The more tablets and still no change. Have another appointment at the doctors beginning of next week as the "wings" side of this is not easing at all but I am feeling much better in myself and back in a position whereby I can be snappy at Mr Harris so this is what I call progress!
Reckon I have shares in the local pharmacy!
Yesterday had a great meals on wheels delivery from Clarebell - home made lasagne, garlic bread, salad with a splash of balsamic - was like a rendition of come dine with me - I give 9 points - lost 1 point as no pudding!! Had a real heart to heart with Clarebell - she just makes me smile and the future for her is bright which she sincerely deserves xxx
Still hot flushing on a regular basis and feeling tired but this is probably something to do with the fact that I've been doing nothing at all and it is a real effort to pause Jeremy Kyle if the phone rings or start shouting at the TV because what were ITV thinking about recruiting Eamon Holmes for This Morning - it's all going downhill especially as Loose Women are all on summer holiday - did they not know that I am sat at home completely bored out of my brains in between my regular bag puss moments!
Feeling well this morning I was up and dressed early as I wanted to support Steve as he went to employment office - well I lasted 20 minutes in there - not only could I not take the pain anymore but was getting extremely angry! As you walk in there are 3 staffed podiums and they are busy chatting - once they have finished chatting one of them directs you to the correct place. Stevo was direct across the room to a long queue - only one desk open but 7 other staff chatting! There were efficencies to be made here instantly! Steve was eventually seen and then had to be interviewed upstairs - entry to this was via 5 security guards who were quite happy to rip every person through their heavily guarded door - more efficiencies to be made. I was not allowed to accompany Steve so had to wait downstairs and by now had big regrets as I was in agony - I asked one of the welcoming committee if there was a chair available - "No" was the response - I explained why I needed to sit and he told me he couldn't help - I then went to the car and sat and waited - Upon reflection I smiled at how lucky I was - I have touch wood never experienced anything like it before and don't ever want to - mind you have of them signing on were in their designer trainers and playing on their iphones and yet no questions were asked - what sort of society do we live in!
Well after the over exertion straight home and to bed - the new bed - not quite sure if its the bed for us but at least I can quite easily roll out rather than climb out! And what a treat today I decided to let my legs get some well deserved fresh air and stripped them naked of the glorious stockings for the whole afternoon - I could almost hear them sigh!

Bedtime
Well I have been bed ridden for pretty much the last 2 days. Think a walk round Asda was all too much.
The problem I faced that long term bed rest would mean foam suffocation from the memory foam - why why would I want to be reminded of my body shape. This is becoming a real hang up for me - its fine once you are in but trying to get out is now like climbing sugarloaf mountain!
Yesterday was the worst day ever - the pain was unbearable and my hormones - well I have never cried so much in my life - I was like a water feature with no timer! For no reason at all I could not stop but my god what a difference this morning.
Although still in pain I was feeling so refreshed that I even got up and dried my hair and put on some make up which looked great with my new PJs! My hair has started to fall out so I thought I might make a weave for my work husband! Not anything like poor Gail Porter but eniugh to block the shower plug each morning and evening - all part of the process apparently!
Blood count is very low again which is why I am feeling tired but guess what I don't care because the new bed has arrived today - of course my mum and dad arrived to give Steve a hand to move all the beds around which I was pleased about as Steve was trying to bring the dread sugarloaf mattress down the stairs which resembled the home insurance advert by knocking everything off the walls and tables in his way!
Its so high that I need a stool to get in it! But hopefully the trauma is over!
I did cry today but only because I was watching Jeremy Clarkson in the Robin Reliant - I was thought I was gonna burst open as I was laughing so much! And if that wasn't enough I went out into the kitchen and in the garden was Stevo walking Gizmo around on a red lead! It was hilarious......Gizmo is one of our 2 spoilt cats. He does a runner on a regular basis so Stevo thought it best to stick him on a cat harness until he is familiar with the garden .... he will probably taking him to the park for a run tomorrow. xxxx

Shower time
I'm back - have moved and internet was ready the next day but have been really poorly all weekend - have done a bit of pottering in the new house but no lifting and then suddenly have gone beyond the rollerblading and now parascending... ooooh bodyform!
Feels like someone has stabbed me with a red hot poker and put me back to bed! I bloody hate that bed - still two more sleeps before the new one arrives and it has a 28 day comfort period so we can order a different one if not suitable - problem is they don't make beds for lard arses which stops us rolling into the middle!
So other than being unwell what else has been happening ..... well we have moved and the house is great and I laughed so much on the first night that I started to then cry as it hurt so much. In the en suite is a spa shower refered to as the jet wash! Its really poorly designed as the doors slide open in the middle where you enter the shower but you have to be quick otherwise the jets spray out onto the floor! So Mr Harris jumps in in a state of "I can take anymore stress" and the water is freezing cold and he is screaming like a girl ... I start laughing and then the shower goes of and only the jets are working which are freezing cold and refreshing the parts that no other shower will reach! After another few minutes the pump kicks in and the hot water flows. By now the screaming has stopped and I'm crying with pain! Still it was worth it.
Connors auditioned for Sky One got to dance so he will find out in Septemebr if he has been successful! Fingers crossed... he is excited that next door lives a family with a daughter his age and all of her mates often stay .. he has even stayed in!
I have been to Asda with Mum and Dad which was funny because I only made it to the end of the chilled aisles before I'd had enough and then when I sat of a seat waiting for mum and dad I realised that I blended! By this I mean that everyone shopping mid morning were either in their late seventies plus or adorned with walking sticks or limps - the white stockings had found their place!
Steve is still jobless - has applied for over 40 jobs in the last 2 weeks so fingers crossed... he did call the benefit office and he is entitled to £10 a week but has to have 2 interviews with employment staff first which would actually cost more then the tenner to park .... how do people manage all these hundreds of pounds per week? That won't even cover the water he used in the spa shower lol!

Strong prevailing winds due heading South
Lesson learnt Mums are like customers - always right! After rolling around the memory foam mountain in the night in complete agony on one side, I finally was blown out of bed this morning - by blown I mean blown if you get my drift! After several outbursts of the morning trumpets the pain had subsided! Thank goodness - I can't believe that something invisible can cause so much pain! Still I am only human and lady or not when we are babies our parents congratulate us and clap when bodily gas is released - so I thought I should share the good news with mum and dad by way of an early morning call - at 43 years old they are still congratulating me ! My mum was so chuffed you'd think I'd been promoted or passed an exam!
I have had the best day so far - yeah - Kirsty arrived this morning with home made cup cakes - had a good old girlie gossip and by the time she left I was hurting because we laughed so much especially about some peoples mind sets and some people are oblivious to the impact of their own actions or lack of -- us girls can be such bitches with minimum effort lol!
Stevo is still packing and other than meals on wheels from my mum living on a sandwich for breakfast, lunch and dinner! This is one because he can't cook, two because after feeling ill with his omelette attempt I've begged him not too and three because he has packed the kitchen up barr 3 forks, 1 knife and 3 dinner plates!
After Kirsty left I went to bed as I felt so knackered probably exhausted from all the laughter - its been a while!
Stevo woke me at 5.30 by digging his nails stroking my face saying Doris you won't sleep tonight! I could have just stayed there but Kella was due any moment. All this girlie chat is exhausting, lol, but great therapy!
Kella arrived in her normal happy self and passed me some envelopes - 1 with cash as I had won the baby weight sweepstake for my work husbands baby weight and our Mr Easts baby - 15lb 2 oz I think I guessed which was quite funny because after I entered Stubert asked if I wanted insider info as they had a midwife visit with a predicted weight - I choose not which made me laugh as if I did I would have lost!!! Still congrats to Alex and Stu xxx
Another envelope had a get well card from Faye and Veronica one of our suppliers and top girls! And then I cried - the last envelope made me cry and was so unexpected - a get well card signed by everyone at work and inside a £75 voucher for John Lewis - with a Clarins price list - OMG I just can't believe peoples generosity - I had already had the most beautiful flowers and now this ..... was it gratitude donations as they were all enjoying and garetful for the peace and quiet!! LOL I'm feeling very touched by such a kind gesture! Although 1 complaint when Im at work I put kisses against all the signatures in cards and there are only a couple of kisses against names and no rude messages! lol- I can use these for a full body wrap although I may need to do this in two installments!
Well after Kella and I gased for 3 hours I was completely and utterly knackered and
a good knackered - feeling very happy and special (a bit more than special needs now!)Thank you all xxxxxx
Im so tired now that Im shivering so Im off now - thank you soooo much xxxx may the wind be with you :) x

Stevo woke me at 5.30 by digging his nails stroking my face saying Doris you won't sleep tonight! I could have just stayed there but Kella was due any moment. All this girlie chat is exhausting, lol, but great therapy!
Kella arrived in her normal happy self and passed me some envelopes - 1 with cash as I had won the baby weight sweepstake for my work husbands baby weight and our Mr Easts baby - 15lb 2 oz I think I guessed which was quite funny because after I entered Stubert asked if I wanted insider info as they had a midwife visit with a predicted weight - I choose not which made me laugh as if I did I would have lost!!! Still congrats to Alex and Stu xxx
Another envelope had a get well card from Faye and Veronica one of our suppliers and top girls! And then I cried - the last envelope made me cry and was so unexpected - a get well card signed by everyone at work and inside a £75 voucher for John Lewis - with a Clarins price list - OMG I just can't believe peoples generosity - I had already had the most beautiful flowers and now this ..... was it gratitude donations as they were all enjoying and garetful for the peace and quiet!! LOL I'm feeling very touched by such a kind gesture! Although 1 complaint when Im at work I put kisses against all the signatures in cards and there are only a couple of kisses against names and no rude messages! lol- I can use these for a full body wrap although I may need to do this in two installments!
Well after Kella and I gased for 3 hours I was completely and utterly knackered and
a good knackered - feeling very happy and special (a bit more than special needs now!)Thank you all xxxxxx
Im so tired now that Im shivering so Im off now - thank you soooo much xxxx may the wind be with you :) x

All systems go!
Feeling a bit better today - lots of pain done one side - of course my Mum has already diagnosed trapped wind and as still roller blading it is urgent that I get back to the Doctors!
Felt quite smiley today which rubbed off on Steve and Connor.
Day started with the early morning call from my Mum calling for a prgress report and to test her new house phones as Steve had input the numbers on the phone directory which my Dad remembers by saying press "Facebook" then scroll down then green button!
Decided I would brave Sainsburys by foot with assistance from Steve and Connor, accompanied by Mum which was requested by Dad so that he could have an hour on his own I'm sure!
By the time I reached the bread aisle I was knackered and had had enough. Stevo was concerned as apparently I was paler than a white loaf and Connor remarked how he couldn't believe I was out in "those" stockings as I looked like a window licker MUM! Such as thoughtful and considerate young man we have raised! Still for those of you that know Steve we have no choice but to make it to the very last aisle of the supermarket to get to the Cat food and then ponder of the choice as he always offers our cats full a la carte range!
Still we make it home and with a full dozen unbroken eggs which is a first for Steve but probably because my mum was supervising the boot loading!
Steve has a second interview next week for a job so thats good news. I reckon we are the only family that in the space of 2 weeks could be looking for a job, selling a car, buy a car, have an operation and moving house between the three of us - still never a dull moment!
Steve has packed the whole house so much that we had to buy new toiletries as he has packed them all and not sure in what box!
He is currently led on the floor with his head on the coffee table and is absolutely soundo!
The pain this week is different than last week or it may be that I have already been at home too long! It feels as though I have been kicked around although it could be the strain of rolling out of the memory bed which goes very soon thank god! The bruising has almost gone and just been replaced by yellow skin which looks like I have a jaundice tummy only! But feeling brighter in myself - must be feeling better as I snapped back at Stevo today - he has been so used to me being nice to him for 2 weeks he was quite taken back and said "you must be getting better!" LOL xx

Mixed emotions
It's been a few days since last blog but feeling pretty awful due to the infection - still in roller blading mode!
Have also restarted my teenage years and ready to do dot to dot on my face! Wish I felt that young!
Still taking the tablets and wearing the stockings so look about 80 years old as I have decided that I should not dye my hair all the time I'm off work as I want to see what my natural colour is or whether it is completely grey! Have already noticed my cruella streak in the fringe with an attitude to match at the moment.
Have done absolutely nothing at all for a few days as feeling very miserable but probably as I have been unwell!
Something that did make me laugh was my Dad sat in the back of our car with me in that passenger seat and I can't find my seatbelt - I ask him to pass it to me and he realises that he has put it on! He had taken it and pulled it to his side and locked it in - not only did it only just reach it offered no prtection, looked odd and he didn't even realise! I cracked up which then left me in agony from laughing so hard.
I'm also finding that my body clock is completely shot! Im up late, afternoon nap and then bed late - this must be the benefits clock!
Been off work for only 2 weeks but it feels like a lifetime .... can't wait to go back and get back to normality.
I keep trying to do small things but feel so weak - what a wimp! Also it's not worth the lecture and hassle that I get from my Mum - Stevo calls her everytime he finds me doing something and then she gives me a verbal going over! It's worse than when I was a teenager at home - never expected it at 43 years old!
Still the stockings have had an amazing affect on my legs! They are all skinny but only the bottom half has they are knee highs - lol! Have decided I might commission a body suit which would help remould me but need it to be smooth rather than giving the groove effect!
Lookking forward to moving next week although I think my Mum is more as she will be totally in charge!!!!!!! Speak soon xxx
