Thanks so much for your kind words Angel, they mean so much! Friends and family just don't understand, try as they might. I guess I expected to arrive home after surgery to be "cured" and having booked 2 weeks off work thought I was going to have all this time to catch up on unmarked work, writing curriculum etc (I am a teacher), but I wasn't expecting to be spending so much time sleeping and lying about! Day one was painful, took 3 percocets, day 2 nothing, thought to myself, this is great. Then day 3, painful, took a percocet and slept as I did on Day 4. Today, Day 5, I have only taken ibuprofen and I realize that I will have to stay on the Restorolax (Miralax) for a while until things are less tender. Maybe I am just a wimp with pain, but as I lay in bed listening to my kids talking around the dinner table about their days, I just want to be normal and be sitting there with them (my husband can keep doing the cooking, I don't miss that! however I think the kids would have something to say about it!). Anyway, again, thank you for "listening" and responding,
Anne
