Hi all,

Just thought i'd let you know that the revision scs surgery to adjust my leads seems to have gone well, the pain that has been recurring the last few weeks and plaguing me like i'd never had any surgery at all seems to have thankfully settled down.
It was a day surgery with a general anathestic, I was awake for the first part of it and once they got the right frequency or voltage or what ever it is they look for they put me off to sleep, the next thing I woke up in recovery all warm and dopey.

I'm currently resting ver comfortably at home with the latest Karin Slaughter book and TV, my husband is fantastic and look after me so well.

Love to all,

Sinéad

Hooray!! : D

You take care Sophie .. fingers crossed that this settles things for you.

I LOVE Karin Slaughter .. have read every single one of her books.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your messages, I'm very, very wrecked at the moment, so tired, so exhausted but the back ache is almost gone and the soreness is still there? How long does it take the general anathestic to go through your system, I haven't get the energy to do anything except sleep and read more of the Karin Slaughter which is up to its usual standard of excellent!

Night night kiddies...... i'm off to do nothing and sleep some more or read more or read the news paper, i might try to get out of the house tomorrow.........

Hi Sinead, every human is different regarding the response and recovery from general anesthesia. Some bounce back fairly quickly, and others take a matter of weeks to regain the usual perkiness...... I fit in the group of the latter. Take it easy, slowly, doing things carefully because your anesthetized responsiveness to stimuli may be somewhat on the slow side. No doubt it is one of several reasons why driving after surgery is discouraged..... I have no doubt at all.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply, I know you're right but I just want to be better now! More time, more sleepies, more little walkies, I'll be grand in a few days.

Night night xxxx

The home we sold was laid out such that one could do laps walking a figure eight from room to room. I nearly wore a path taking little walkies to build up until I could graduate to the out of doors......

I guess I could do that too and leave the dog at home! LOL poor Tigger might get terribly confused.

In all seriousness though it's a very good idea but once it's not too cold or wet a 10 minute walk will do me the power of good and hopefully give me some energy! Tigger, our boxer will walk bedside without a lead and then I'll let her run before we come in.

Gonna try go back to sleep it's 3.44am here!

so happy my dear friend is recovering slowly but surely. Becareful out with the dog that he does not jerk the lead and cause you a set back! i think the only lead you should have in your hand is your ipod lead and just take baby steps this week!!

i will give you a call later on have a meeting at 12 pm re future of ofJenna!! lol

You're an impatient young thing ... can't think who you remind me of !? LOL xxx
