Thanks to everyone who has sent messages of support – via SMS, this site, Facebook and where ever else. They are much appreciated and yes, I am slowly on the mend. I spent most of today in bed, and most of that time sleeping. What Mum said on the phone last night was 100% correct. You sort of have an adrenalin rush after the op – because you’re glad it worked out fine, and all that. Everyone was certainly impressed by the way I bounced back at the hospital and how well I was recovering from the op.

Then, I had the trip home on Thursday. It was not painful, but I was still acutely aware of every bump in the uneven surface of the road. The last few days have been rather tiring and I have been resting a lot. Right now, though I am tired of lying down, so am messing around a little before going to watch some TV. Somewhere during the next couple hours, I’ll have something small for dinner, my pills and fall asleep in front of the TV…
