Thats me home safe and sound :grin:

Firstly I would like to thank you all for the wonderful comments, support and encouragement. It really means a lot to me. I hope to join in with the forum again soon but for now I will just pop in and out as I cant get comfy enough to sit and type for very long. If I am comfy on one side, I am not on the other. I spend most of my day shuffling around in my chair and am not doing too well sleeping on my back. Aw well, every day that passes is another day closer to me feeling better and getting back on my feet.

Hope you are all well and have a wonderful weekend. Sending you all love and huge hugs xx
Big Hugs
Jean xx

    Fantastic news, weajean. You've done so well. I bet the surgeon(s?) (I think you said you'd have 1 per hip) are very pleased.

    I love your positive attitude. I never did crack the 'sleeping on your back' thing. Hated every minute of it & didn't sleep much but, in the long run, it's so worth it.

    Don't worry about getting back to posting on here. Just use your energy to get better.

    Have you managed to stay away from the ktchen sink up to now???? We have spies everywhere, you know.

    Wonderful news, nothing like sleeping in your own bed, even if you have to lie on your back. :wink: Go carful now and do as you are told and all will be well. Look forward to seeing you posting as and when you are able.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Jean

    So glad you're home because that means
      No being woken before the birds are up. :roll: A cup of tea and a meal when you're ready for it. Your own toilet. Privacy. Peace and quiet. Having a doze when you like. And getting better.

    Now plenty of rest my girl and don't overdo things, just gentle exercise. :wink:

    WELL DONE :grin:

    Luv
    Love, Legs x

    Hi Weejean, worst bit over with, onwards and upwards!! Sleeping on your back is vile isn't it? Won't be for long though and SO worth it!! Hope you are doing your exercises.

    take care
