True but sitting up in bed isn't that comfortable right now and any change of posture is still a fraught experience. The worst moment so far was when I sneezed - it felt like someone had fired a few rounds from a nail gun into my gut. I dread to think what it must be like without the painkillers I've been given.. I can see why this op used to require months of convalescence prior to keyhole surgery. Must go - SWMBO is ordering me back to the dungeon. bones bones@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerry Winskill Sent: 19 January 2011 20:28 To: jhb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jhb] Re: Back again but not operational as yet.
