This is the first time I have felt up to the computer. This is a tough recovery but they say I am doing really well. Until I had to do this, I had no idea what a difficult surgery this is. They say three months of not using my arms and shoulders, I can't even drive. Nice to be waited on as I am totally wiped out. Thank goodness I dind't do this as a morbidly obese woman. Can't even imagine.
This is a direct quote from my handsome surgeon: "You are a delicate flower but you went through this like a rockstar". LOL
Thanks for all your support.

I've been thinking about you too Gail. So glad to hear that you are well. The limitations suck. I've been going stir crazy and realize how much I miss my old busy life. I'll be going back to work on Monday. Definitely follow doctors orders and rest.

Best,

Cathy
