Bless You! So pleased to read your update! You look amazing! I’m sure I looked varying degrees of half dead for the first few days post op - so you’re doing fantastic! (It’s a good job there were no phones or mirrors in I.C.U during my stay!) 🤦🏼‍♀️

Wish you better and hopefully you’ll be back home before you know it. ❤️‍🩹

your life lays ahead. You are very brave to post the photo.

I felt an improvement every two days, then after a few months I was fully recovered and could get back to my life.

Just take things slowly.

Best wishes

Sooty

It's looking good. Do do the breathing exercises the physio gives you. They can really improve your recovery rate. You will probably be out of bed for a short while tomorrow

Well done.

Don't do what I did, I got up the next morning at 5am and sat in the bed chair all morning, ended up getting a bed sore which was pretty painfull. I ended rotating between the chair and the bed to prevent any more sores for the rest of my chair.

Not what you're looking for?
