Hello and thank you for your inspiring messages. The operation went ahead as planned on Friday and i am told they got everything!!!
I had a rough day yesterday but things are very different today despite the pouring rain!!!
So if all continues to improve there is talk of going home tomorrow.
Cheers

Great news!!! I had mine 4 weeks ago and.also had full clearance, such a relief isn't it. Now go steady and don't run before you can walk. Accept help from those who love you and want to help, you will be better for it

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congratulations! Its such a relief when surgery is over and news is so positive! Just remember- take things slow and steady. And one little tip- constipation meds will be your friend when time is right.
All the best for your recovery! 🌺🌸🌼
Good news and you will feel better every day
Good to hear, don't forget a cushion over your abdomen when you go home and then straight to bed , rest, rest rest! Little walks around the same floor when you can, after a couple of weeks you can try the stairs but be careful how you go up and down - step by step.
don't forget to take your pain killers regularly , call your GP if you are concerned over anything - I found I was allergic to the Tramadol I was given!
Keep drinking water, prepare for constipation and eat little and often, no lifting, no stretching etc etc etc . Read and relax and heal.
Couple of tips you may not need:
1. Use cushions or pillows to surround yourself with in bed - I'm usually a side sleeper and had to get used to sleeping on my back as I was scared about my glued wound! So propped myself within a bank of pillows for a couple of weeks - I had no issues !
2. Sleep where you are comfortable - I moved back into our bed after a week, couldn't bear to be in bed with hubby after my op, no offence to hubby! I was just in pain and needed 'Me Time' to heal. Plus I couldn't sleep for at least a week apart from short naps.
3. Take your painkillers regularly - important enough to say twice! Pain reduced on day 7 for me - a real breakthrough moment .
Good news you should soon be home,
Take care
