well here I am on the other side. I am a bandit! Had the operation on Wednesday in Belguim, arrived home this morning (friday). Am very sore to the left of my side, which is to be expected. All went well. Have had plenty of sleep yesterday and today and am now walking about, very slowly. My husband picked me up from the airport and i was very tearful. i was walking like an old woman. Anyway, i have lay in bed, watched a bit of the royal wedding, and been sleeping. I have now woke up and felt fit enough to get dressed and hug my kids. well give you a more detailed account of my trip tomorrow................
