HI christie.

Thank you for your reply. It is so good to hear from people in a similar situation. . I am almost 3 weeks post op now and have some really good days but I think I tend to over do it on those days and suffer the following day. 

Are you having further treatment?

Di

Thanks Chelsea

So glad your op went well and I hope your good recovery continues. I am currently being assessed to see if I am fit enough to have the surgery. I'm 74 and never had an operation in my life and I must admit I'm terrified but your post is very encouraging. 

Don’t worry DidiI’ve been called much worse 

Thank you Pepper12. I am glad that i could put your mind at rest a little bit. I think it is the fear of the unknown.  I went to get my stitches out yesterday and got a little bit worked up about it but I didn't feel a thing

• Thanks Didi - I think you're right it is the fear of the unknown. Glad to hear your stitch removal went well. Will you have to have any further treatment?
• Take care and very best wishes for a speedy recovery.
