Operation yesterday. Bit of problem, they couldn't do the spinal block. Tried a few times but my spinal wasn't playing ball. So I had a general anasthetic. All went well and I am zooming around with my zimmer frame. Pain control excellent. I did it!!!!!!!

    dear lynn, 

    Congratulations, you did it !!!  How did you sleep ?  How is the pain? Not to alarm you but sometimes day 2 post-op can throw you back a bit in the pain department - so, ask for it okay?   

    Amazing feeling isn't it ?

    I prefer GA and am lucky that I don't experience any nasty side effects -

    Take it easy darling, all is well 

    big warm hug

    renee
