    Hello again everyone!


    I'm now back home from hospital and am housebound for the next week and a half.


    The surgery went very well, Mr Thomas was very pleased with the result going so far as to call it beautiful on the morning of my discharge.

    i have had no major complications so far, but it has left me in a state where I become tired very quickly.

    Swelling and bruising is slowly going down, and the three times a day dilation has quickly become a chore!


    Thank you all for your kind words of support through this time.


    I'll update when I have more news.

    Getting tired very easily is to be expected, I was as weak as a kitten and it took me a while to get any sort of stamina back. Just get plenty of rest.
    Fortunately I only had to dilate twice a day, but one must do what the doctor orders! How long will you be on 3 times a day?
    Glad to hear it's all gone well.

    I'm on three times a day for 6 to 12 weeks it depends on how quickly I adapt.
