Thanks for your thoughts and hugs for next week, not looking forward to it, and yes naturally scared, but trying to look at it as one down and only 5 more after that.
How long is it since your op....for me it is five weeks today. I have to confess I have been a bit disappointed with how long it seems to be taking to heal. On the other hand have been lucky, no complication apart from having some fluid taken out a week or so after drain was removed. I know it is major surgery, but for some reason I thought about three weeks and would be fairly normal again, but still very tender and by the end of the day I seem to run out of puff. I still haven't been able to speak with anyone that can really tell me if it is sort of normal or not????????
I have managed to go into work for a few hours each day, and then if need be able to bring it home and finish it off after a bit of a rest. From reading the posts here everyone is different and from what I can work out, you just have to do what works for you.
Take care x
