BREAD BREAD BREAD!!!

I always wanted a breadmaker and today I got one - and it was free, here's to freecycle!! I was so excited and put all the ingredients in and proudly pressed the program that I wanted and it started doing it's thing. I kept going back every few minutes during the 2 hour 50 minute cycle, peering into the viewing window, letting out a few oooooo's and ahhhhhhh's as it mixed and fluffed and rose.
Then disaster struck .......... the electric went off!! At all times it can go off it goes off with just 20 minutes to go. Now what was I supposed to do a part cooked loaf of bread and a digital timer that only allows a full program!! Whether I was supposed to or not I put it in the oven and DA DAAAAAAAAAA here it is:




Found a recipe for beer and bacon bread so going to try that one tomorrow!! :)

2 Weeks Post Op

So how's it looking??

MY OP!! - 07.02.08

As I'm completly paronoid about having a huge scar across my throat I thought I would take photos along the way as in 6 weeks I can look back a say WOW it looks so good now ...... thats what I'm hoping anyway :(


This is my tumor before my op (after they drew on me!!) It was taken on my phone in the hospital loo so there not great photos!!






The operation took 3 hours instead of the scheduled 1 hour as the tumor had imbedded itself into my main artery which they didn't know until I was on the table, the left part of my thyroid was removed with it as it had completly covered it. This was about an hour after I came around and woddled to the toilet as needed to see what it looked like. The drain was in at this stage.





My drip decided to go wrong and fill my hand with fluid it over doubled in size (again I ran to the loo to take photos!! LOL!)



This is the day after, I still had no voice as the tumor had grown onto my vocal cords too but fortunately they managed to separate it but it meant I was left without a voice for 3 days (J was pleased!!)



Today I had my 'tape' taken off and saw my scar for the first time :(
