    I don't think you will have done any damage Kar. Are you in any pain or more more pain than before?

      No pain but wondering if I have broke a stitch as was crouching more than bending x

      Sometimes a clot forms around the suture and if you move awkwardly or bend it becomes dislodged which is probably what has happened in your case. If it's a one off don't worry but if you start bleeding heavily, pass a lot of clots or start to suffer abdominal pain then you must seek medical advice.

      You're welcome Kar and you have such a lovely husband coming home early.....he was obviously worried about you. This surgery does zap your energy so take things extra carefully over the next few days. Feet up and stay in bed if you feel like it.
