Hi ,

You try 4 days flat!!! as was my experience of detethering at Frenchay

Hospital, Bristol UK. My nsg is the leading one in the UK so I know I

was in good hands, but I still didn't like being flat all that time

Hope you are continuing to improve - it does get better, honest

regards

Nina

,

Thanks so much for your kind words. I feel fine but need to keep

reminding myself that I did have major surgery and that I need to

take it easy. I definitely don't want to end up in surgery again. Or

should I say, back in the hospital for 5 days. I still can't believe

I had to lay flat for 2 days straight. Yikes!

Thanks again!
