I can't believe it's been 3 wks, you are doing so well.
I must admit that I was feeling a mixture of happy for others but sorry for myself at the same time. BUT, not anymore, jumping up and down with joy as I've just been given my op date 7th August.
To everyone that has helped me to prepare for this, through your recovery and continuing progress, I thank you from the bottom of my heart 🥰. In the spirit of paying it forward, I shall also diarise my journey. Love you all 🫂. There has been so many of you, that if I have missed anyone out, I apologise xx

That's great news @Zimmer. The time will rush by with all the preparation. I hope it goes well and keep us posted.
I'm finding each day I feel a little better and able to move more, although still need to pace myself with occasional rest periods, especially since sleeping on my back is not easy. But I take opportunities when they arise. And only on 2 doses of paracetamol per day for the past few days.
Having the support of others who have been through this really helped, so thank you everyone who has added their comments.
