Well..I haven't been on too much lately over the holidays, but all of a sudden my op. date is coming close...Jan 16, 09. I've read a lot on this site and gained a lot of info. Been to the pre-op clinic last week and got more info. Did most of you stay 5days or less? And they're very keen to get me up asap walking and bringing clothes to practice dressing etc. It's considered serious op and I intend to do whatever they ask re excercises and everything. Somehow I'm just thinking that the operation must take some time for the body to recuperate and with having M.S. it's going to be tough to press on as fast as they seem to think I will have to. Any comments? Lindy
