Good Luck in your recovery. Just tell them their gifts is gonna be a little late and they will understand because of your surgery. Don't worry. It will all work out.

i kinda wish that had been my schedule.

I just had surgery friday, but they gave me 6 weeks to stew and stress about it. I was full-on ugly-face crying and the pre-op wednesday, a mess thursday, and sobbing friday morning as i went in. i was scared.

of course, everything went well and i'll be just fine. lots of stress and tears for nothing.


i need to work on what everyone is telling you - to recover first. i just want to do something besides lay here and hurt. but anything right now is just too much.

we can vent to eachother as we heal!

Thankyou everyone for the encouragement and warm wishes. It is the quilting board that will keep my sanity for the next 8-12 weeks. I go on Monday 22nd to get my stitches and dressings removed...YEAHHHH I get to take a shower. The people on this board are the BEST... Thanks for caring!

So I had a bit more notice.

A hot tip:

Don't be too flexible around holiday and vacation time. The clinics and hospitals are empty those days (and the equipment does not amortize ....).
