Great to hear from you!  Know you're so glad to be on the other side of the surgery.  Take care and take it easy.  Crossing fingers for your hearing...

ColoradoGal,

I am so glad to hear that you made it through surgery, and I have been thinking about you like crazy just hoping things would turn out OK.  I hope in time your hearing will return.  When you get back to CO please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.  I'll catch up in a PM, but in the meantime. . . . great news!!!  Enjoy that shampoo that everyone says is wonderful!!! 

Nancy :) :) :)

Also. . . Thanks Kathleen for the update on ColoradoGal.

Maureen

I am so glad you are posting!  When a postie posts, we all know they are doing great!  Keep laying low and sleeping and staying horizontal.  Those are all good things and very needed right after surgery.  Sorry I didn't get the updates more timely to update this forum.  Somehow my email got "truncated" from your husband's Blackberry and I was always a couple days late.  But, now you are here to let everyone know how you are doing.  Welcome to postie-land.  We'll see you back in Colorado before too long.

All the best,

Kathleen

Hi all,
 
I am back in Colorado and doing very well.  Not ready to go back to work two weeks post-op like pswift, (must be something about the "swift" part of the name), but it's great to be surrounded by my kids again.   With SSD I discovered I can't locate the cordless phone anymore by following the beeping - so that's one less job for me!   :)

Some folks may be interested to know:
Yesterday a friend who does a lot homeopathy (I call her a witch doctor) brought me a tube of "Nelsons Cuts & Scrapes cream with hypericum and calendula" for my scar.  I can't believe how fast the cream is helping!  Already today my incision is much softer, flatter, and more healed!

Hi Maureen,

Glad to see you are home. Hopefully the altitude in Colorado is not a problem. :)

Take care and take it slow for a while.

Hi there!
Glad you're home, I remember how good it feels to be there!  Take really good care of yourself; nap, eat, sleep, walk; like a terrier-

ColoradoGal,

Glad to hear you are home.  As Dorothy so eloquently put it in the Wizard of Oz-- there's no place like home.  Let yourself be pampered, rest and heal.

Best wishes,
Wendy
