Well got home last night & apart from severe wind pain everything fine, everybody at Albyn Hospital in Aberdeen were fantastic and very attentitive. Just wish I could get a sleep as every time I lie down the wind settles on my shoulders which takes your breath away.

Hi Sue sounds like your doing fantastic

hoe all went ok for you and recovery sounds just fine. I'm all ok just a bit sore to be expected tho lol wind pain minimal in lower back so bearable, no painkillers needed as yet! Just hands and feet really cold, keep circling feet while im sitting or up pacing the front room lol all in all ok tried a tiny bit of porridge this morning wallpaper paste consistency had 2 teaspoons but not really feeling hungry. Nurse said i could have sloppy right away but not going to push myself too soon, may have some clear chicken soup for lunch and if up to it some whizzed up cottage cheese for dinner tonight yum

Had intended to go for ride in car with hubby to supermarket but decided to stay home with puppy while he goes local shop instead.... maybe it was a little optimistic lol

How you doing hun? hope your healing well, guess its just a matter of time and plenty of rest thrown in. Getting enough fluid in could prove difficult have measured out what i need to drink today lol we shall see

Hugs coming your way, take it easy. Keep me posted so i now what to expect next

Hi, you sound as if you are doing very well. I took it easy the first 2 days but had no choice but to attend uni on day 3 which really wasn't a good idea. I was ok driving, but sitting all day was a mare. Took it easy yesterday and today and feeling very well. I'm eating soups and yoghurts and puree fruit as had a problem in the bowel department. I haven't seen how much I should drink but my wee is pale so I must be ok. No pain killers today either. I've taken my TED stockings off as I'm mobile but unsure if I should still have them on. I am out and walking the dog etc so hope I've done right. xx

So glad to hear from you crucon and glad all went well.

Yeah the wind pain is a bugger but if you are mobile, walking soon gets rid of it.

Are you managing fluids ok?
