Yes it's me again, and how good it is to come out of the onslaught on body and mind!
The effect of the surgery has surprised me, particularly the confusion after a lengthy spell under anaeshetic. But it's over now, and I am very thankful for the prayer coverage over this operation, as all has gone well. One major risk factor (and prayer point) was the need for bleeding to be curtailed and the surgeon said he was delighted at no need for a transfusion. He also said it was the longest row of stitching he had ever done, and was quite proud of his handiwork!
My progress is going very well, and each day another tube has been disconnected, until today there are none left. Yay!
At this stage the plan (subject to change of course) is to leave St Vincent
's hospital on Wednesday or Thursday, and be transferred closer to home, either Warrnambool or Portland. Yay again! I can then get stuck into more rehab.
Before I leave this hospital, I expect to have some sort of a plan in place, regarding continuation of treatment. We'll see, as teams of different treating specialists are notorious for their lack of communication with each other.
So thanks for your love and concern, felt in a timely so often just when it was needed. Today I had a shower - a quite gruelling experience - but on coming out I had received a text with just the right words awaiting me. That's God for you!
Love to everyone Xx
