Thank you all for the support and good wishes,it makes a big difference.Mike,her name is Bethany,or Beth as she now insists on being called.Apparently 'Bethany' is no longer cool but will probably be acceptable again when she reaches 20.
Anyway,she went down for the op at around 10am and according to the doctor it was a success.It was a big polyp by all accounts and she's had to stay in overnight.They will be removing the packing tomorrow morning and she should be back with us by lunchtime. She needs to avoid crowds and other sources of infection plus some kind of preventative measures put in place.So ends another hospital adventure,or nearly at any rate.Mrs Fish is exhausted...
Hi Mike,Lily and David.Thank you once again.Mike dear friend,am I to suspect a package is on its way? What a thoroughly decent bloke you are,but you really shouldn't have.That said,yes she has a sweet tooth but so do I :-P Thank you so much.
Anyway,she's now home and recuperating. The nurses took the packing out this morning and I really didn't think you could get something that long up a person's nose?? Obviously the wound will take time to heal and she's not allowed to blow her nose for a few days.Out of interest David,did you get much residual bleeding after your op?
PS. Unless you are sufficiently concerned about the bleeding to contact the hospital, it helps to hold your nose for a while...upright not leaning back.

All the best for today for little Fishy

Hi Fishy, I love that name, I was going to call my daughter that (if I had one!) but they were both boys lol...so didn't
So glad all went well and she is on the mend. Hope she isn't in too much discomfort. Very best wishes to all the fishes and hugs
Best wishes to Beth/Bethany, Fishy.....have the T-shirt, so I can empathise.

"David,did you get much residual bleeding after your op?"
Just a little residual bleeding for a few hours after the packing had been removed, then it just turns to nothing more than a weak, bloody water.
Hope she wasn't too distressed by the packing removal sensation.
Best wishes Beth....I'd be ashamed, I had 20 removed!

this is for gardening, not yucky human ailments.
"Venture into the potting shed for garden gossip, topical debate or idle chit-chat."
You may have not noticed, subjects other than 'gardening' are discussed here by people with compassion for others.
Hope your luck holds out!
Oh dear, why is there always one that has to be horrible. You don't have to read all threads and the 'potting shed' is here for a reason.
Hope your daughter is on the mend Fishy and not in too much pain.
Feel free to share your concerns with us in the potting shed any time xx
