You sound like you were through the wringer, Mitchy and you sound like you are a fighter! Is your work tolerant of you taking time to heal off?

I have had 2 abdomenal surgeries--girly surugery and oh it takes so long to get your fluid movement back-the getting up from the couch without that ouch! happening right there! It does return.

How often will the visiting nurses come in?

Take it easy, now is a great time to: watch the telly, watch all the good downloads, nap and read. That is the best part of recovering, isn't it? Aside from getting better, that is!

Work doesn't have much choice, we have this great scheme called Statutory Sick Pay which means we get pay for a fixed amount of time. In my case, I can have up to 3 months off. Shouldn't need all that though, prolly go back part time for the third month or something.

The District Nurse will come in as often as she needs to until she's sure my wounds have healed and are not infected. Right now, she's been in every day but she's switching to every other day now that it looks like things are healing cleanly.

The stoma nurses will come in once a week unless I ring and squeak for an earlier appointment.

And yes, it's lovely to have an genuine excuse to loaf and catch up on TV and online stuff without feeling like I should be doing something else :D
