Stories from the Eagars

Well that’ll be 2 weeks tomorrow since I had my surgery and I’m feeling pretty good considering I’ve basically been sawn in half!  Got my belly button stitches out on Sunday and the rest of the stitches come out in a month!  It wasn’t really that sore getting them taken out as the skin all around that area is still really numb (I suppose that was a good thing), however I don’t think I’ll be so lucky in a months time!!  I’m getting more mobile day by day but still have to watch that I don’t do too much as I get kinda tired and sore!  Have just started driving again but it can be a pain, literally, because of all the speed bumps! But apart from that I am really feeling good.  As you can imagine, I’ve not been up to much else.  I did go to the golf club on Sunday morning for an interview with a magazine though!!!!!!  My pal Lisa was up at the shop and was approached by some woman who works for a new magazine that will be published in Dubai and asked if she would be interested in doing an interview about the area we live etc and to bring a friend!  Well, we met the journalist at the golf club & answered all her questions….it’s basically going to be an article about the pro’s & cons of living in Arabian Ranches (where we live) from people who live there & it’ll be a different area each month!  What we didn’t realise was that they wanted photo’s too 

The journalist & photographer then followed us to our houses and did  photoshoots with kids, dogs, palm trees etc…. oh ma heed…. I am NOT looking forward to that being published as I was standing like the hunch back of Notre Dam ( I still cant stand completely straight yet) and I had dark roots that would scare you as I wasn’t allowed to get my hair coloured before my surgery and 7 days after….nae bonny!!!  

Never mind…. I may become a local celebrity yet!!!   

Well… it’s over, I’ve had my op and I’m now home!  I’m pretty sore but all strapped up & popping the painkillers so it’s bearable!!

The tummy tuck went well and according to plan.  My stomach muscles had split during my pregnancies so they had to stitch them back together before doing the tummy tuck!  The painkillers are easing the pain of the actual scar but my muscles feel as if I’ve done a million sit ups!!! 

Anyhow, I’m fine and resting at home getting the slaves (Andrew & kids) to run around after me & keep me happy!!  

Well ….. one more sleep till I go into hospital!  I’m starting to get REEEEEAAAALLLYY nervous now!  One minute I’m fine then the next I’m imagining allsorts!!  Didn’t sleep well last night at all… I wasn’t thinking about the op during the night, just tossing & turning every half an hour or so!!  I’m off to meet some pals at Costa at M.O.E this morning.  We’re dropping the big kids at Ski Dubai & the little ones at Magic Planet and I’m going to eats lots of cake & drink lots of caramel frappucino’s seeing as I’m not allowed to eat or drink after 8pm tonight!! 

Was up at the golf club on Monday night for the quiz again and we came 1st place… woo hoo!!  We won 4 x 1 night stays in……… wait for it………. the hotel at the golf club – which is 2 minutes from our houses!!!!!!  We’ve decided that Lu (who lives even closer to the golf club than I do)  is gonna have a party and everyone who lives further away can use this to stay over.  We will then use the 2 cases of beer ( which they won as 2nd prize a few weeks ago) at the party, which I’m sure will help the party along greatly!!  We’ve also still to use the vouchers for the Friday Brunch at the Polo Club that we won a couple of months ago (1st prize again…. we’re good eh!!)  Obviously I’ll  not be going to Quiz night next monday…. so there’s probably an even better chance of them winning!!!
