Phylly, so glad you are at day 4 post-op already. I know the post surgery pain is no picnic, so hang in there. I can't wait to hear when they give the thumb's up to release you from the hospital. I pray this is your final surgery and pain free days are waiting for you down the road. God bless.

So nice to hear from you Phylly. You sound like you are doing extremely well, this soon after surgery. And I am so happy that a lot of your pain seems very much to be gone, this is very hopeful news.
I look forward to hearing more about your experience, and your recovery in the days and weeks to come. I hope you are able to leave the hospital soon, and make your way home where you can be more comfortable. I wish you the best for a quick and easy recovery Phylly.

Sleep is a wonderful thing for the body, mind and spirit. It is amazing about the healing properties of proper rest.
Maz: I hope you are doing well also? Have not heard from you in awhile. Terry Newton

Poncho and All,
Your vibes must have worked because today was much better. I actually got dressed and took a short walk outside. What a great feeling. I am really taking it easy but trying to walk around the house. We have a two story so the stairs are still hard. I know I will get stronger each day. My brain is starting to defog now and the teary yesterday was not around. Thanks everyone for being so supportive. I have a good feeling about this surgery and hope it is the last!!!! Terry, How are you doing? I hope that you are feeling a lot better from the shots. I am catching up on all the news and threads today. Sweet Sarah p, how are you too? You send the nicest messages. Anyway, I feel all the love and it really helps. Hugs to you all. Phylly
