  • Hi Mary,

    I hope that by now you are not feeling too uncomfortable and that you are beginning to make some progress. I hope that your husband has managed on his own at home and that you have been able to chat to one another regularly, without missing one another too much. Is there any chance that you might even manage to get home for Christmas? 

    I continue to think about you daily, along with many other forum members. Sending you healing vibes and I sincerely hope that you manage to have a peaceful,  but Happy Christmas and I wish you A Happy and Healthier New Year.

    Kindest regards,

  • Thank you. I was told that, although the operation (7 hours) was successful, there were complications afterwards. I was in clinical care twice with dialysis the second time for a while. Was there for five and a half weeks. Back home now, full recovery 3 - 4 months. I had no idea how weak and tired I would be. Thank God for good surgeons! 

  • Hi Mary,

    Thank you for the update. It is great to hear from you again and to know that, despite the setbacks, you have finally made it home. and are on the road to recovery. This was a big operation, which is why you had such an eminent surgeon, entrusted with your care. You are bound to feel weak and tired. All you can do is to listen to your body. Don't try to do too much and relax when you need to.

    I hope that your husband managed ok while you were in hospital and that, he's learned enough housekeeping skills in your absence, to take care of you now!

    Kindest regards,
