Well done, Julie. How fab to be back home so soon. Take good care of yourself and let your sons and husband look after you for a change.

This is wonderful to hear, Julie!

That's wonderful Julie. As everyone says take care of yourself now and don't overdo it.

Such good news, so glad your home, just take care of yourself and enjoy your improvement on your health.

Fabulous news. I am so pleased for you and I am keeping everything crossed, that you continue to improve as quickly as you are doing. Amazing. x.x

Lots more cyber hugs heading your way. Hopefully this is the start of a much more pain free life for you.

Way to go Julie - you'll be back in that shed in no time!

Sounds like great progress Julie… glad you are doing well.

Glad to hear you're home and it all went well. No rush to get back into fasting, your body will let you know when it's ready.

Fliiping Magic - who'd of thought you'd be home so quick?

Well done Julie, so glad it went ok for you Take it easy, enjoy abit of down time and keep that positive attitude going! You sound like a lovely smiley person

Big hugs coming your way...

That is brilliant Julie!! So pleased to hear that all went well & that you are home in record time. Look after yourself & take it easy for awhile to allow your body to heal.

Yay! That's magic that you made your escape so fast - now for an equally speedy recovery. But don't over estimate what you can do - take it gently at first!

The soreness might increase rather than decrease for a wee while - they veritably throw one about on the operating table when one's out cold (if you're feeling really brave, have a shufti on youtube; then again, maybe not). I've had hand print bruises come out several days later after surgery! Your 'several rounds with Mike Tyson' analogy was sound - that's pretty much how you can expect to feel for a bit. But it's all good. Second the seconding of arnica, I'd also recommend comfrey oil if you can get hold of it - both rubbed in externally but not on broken skin. The latter is also known as "knitbone" - for good reason, it really can help! All the very best xxx FatDog.
