Hello everyone, I'm Kim's other half , thought I would post a quick update ..... Kim is doing really well, lots of sleep today and also gentle walks around the house but she looks really great considering what she has been through . She is keeping her fluids up with squash and has managed a fortimel drink taken over the whole day, and about two teaspoons of sugar free jelly it's all going very well at the moment. Her journey has been long and difficult, If you search for my posts then you will see that I last posted about three years ago when we tried (and failed) to get this procedure done privately but she is overjoyed that everything seems to have turned out for the best in the end . Walsall manor has been a bit hit and miss , everything leading up to and including the operation being superb but the wards are complete chaos with the discharge procedure being absolutely chaotic . Anyway, I'm sure she will be posting again in the next few days. Good luck to everyone who is waiting for their surgery dates and those who have gone before us I like reading your updates Regards Jon x
