Hi friends........
Home sweet home!!
Not sure how I feel yet; I have been better, I have been worse; therefore I guess I'm okay.
I am experiencing many of the post-op stuff you had forewarned me about...Lot's of muscular pain on left side near shoulder; Dr. said that the nerve was wrapped around a large spur. Yuck. well, this is all I can manage to jot at the moment....Until later,
good to be back. Thanks for all your thoughts.
Catherine (back to bed)!!

Hey Catherine :)
Welcome back to the fold. It is lovely to hear that you are doing as expected and that those nasty nerve-wrapped spurs will no longer cause you grief.
Sleep is your friend, embrace it when you can. Thanks for posting so soon.
Do you remain in pain?

Great to hear you are back with us, Catherine! The shoulder pain should subside with time. Don't hesitate to use those drugs to get you over the rough spots. Relax and recuperate, it's time to take care of yourself first and foremost.
But do post when you feel up to it-we've missed you around here. :D

Hey Catherine,
Doesn't it feel good to have it done and over with. This time next week you will be feeling so much better.
Rest now, and DON'T PICK UP ANY OF YOUR LITTLE ONES!
