Hi pink24
Quick response re constipation. After 6 days I got some glycerin suppositories - shoved one in and 20 mins later a major happening. It made me feel so much better and plain sailing ever since. Suppose it depends what your tolerance level is! Good luck

Just you need to.give.your body fuel to heal. I found well.refound actually Mars bars. Congrats again on brilliant attitude.

You are so right @Legin a huge part of this whole process is in our psyche. I felt so vulnerable immediately after the op. I just was in a panic which does not help at all. Now 10 days later I am home and calmer. Patience now is the big thing. I can't be my usual self "quick get everything done" " need to do ten things at once" etc.
"How we are upstairs" particularly being peaceful is so important!

"The teary part is very normal, or at least it was in my case.
I'd break into the weeps at the drop of a hat"
The tears seem very ready and easy flowing in my case. My hospital notes said "tearful today" on each day that I was in hospital. Just now I read that Sabresfan had "come through to this side" and back it was again I was tearful, tears of relief. Oh well at least I am human!!

Tears are fine heck hc had many times had my.waterproof shoulder tested. Thing is it isn't moaning its venting pain frustration and sheeer tiredness. All of these need an outlet. However soon they will be.replaced by.smiles of.achievment. If not tha can vent even more at me
