My experience post op. FOR BORIS

July 21, 2005

Hi Boris, awwwww thanks for the email thought.

I got out of hospital on wednesday, so 3 days post op, and then had

to go bac the following day for a check-up. Mr Stenhouse, my OS came

to se me after and told me that my surgery was a complete success,

they even managed to finish early!!

I have not felt any pain, coz of the drugs, which is good, however i

do look like a cross between Mr Potato Head and Professor Clump,

lol.

They looked after me very well in hospital, so they sld do the same

with you too!

They took my splint out yest (on wednesday)which is quicker than

usual, but coz it was such a success, they were able too. I actually

prefered it when it was in, which is a bit strange, but it felt a

bit more stable.

Ive been eating yoghurt and watery soup, however rarely feel hungry!!

Oh another thing, i am so bloated, its more painfull than my face,

lol......i managed to put on 10 lbs in hospital in 3 days, and as i

only drunk liquid in that time, i am putting it down to water

retention. I do feel like i have lost some body fat, however im so

bloated, my fat has probably just stretched around my body.

Keep me posted with how you are going, i will certainly keep you

dated with my progress. I will try and figure out how to get the

fotos off of the camera and onto the computer aswell, so you can see

what i look like. Until then happy waiting,

Charlotte xx
