Dear Eileen,
SO lovely to hear from you. Told you didn't I? I knew you would be looked after well, this time around. A little tip, sometimes around day 5 you may feel a little down. If so, it will not last. It is quite usual, according to my lovely consultant, post op.
You are doing really well, our lovely Eileen.
Gentle hugs,

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.0 -
HI Eileen

Hope you recover well...

Day 4
Am still attached to epidural,catheter and cpm so can't see me getting out of bed today again,so much for me going home Friday lol
As for myself I feel great and when they made the bed today I was able to bend my own knee so was well chuffed
We've got another 2 inpatients that had their ops yesterday and they are up an about.Im getting jealous now and stiff0 -
Fantastic news Eileen!!
I am very very pleased about your bend. I do hope that you will soon be up and about like the others. Your case is different to them - hopefully their's have been straightforward.
Carry on the way you are
Love
