    Hi Suki, I’m feeling same way. I’m almost 4 weeks in too. I’m  in Early forties and feel about 80! I cry every day and just want it to end. I know that things will get easier in time but it feels like forever. I think we forget how big the surgery was. 

    I get upset looking out of window wishing I could wrap up warm and walk.

      Hi Victoria wouldn’t it be nice to meet up and have a great big moan. I wasn’t prepared for this pain and follow up. My husband bought me a lightweight wheelchair so I can wrap up warm and see the stores with all the Xmas excitement and even buy a nice Xmas jumper simply because I can’t walk without pain I also have a flight of stairs to go up and down b4 I even get out. You have a good cry it helps me. Suki xxxx if you have an iPhone we could message each other xxx
