I'm happy to see this thread, because I have been thinking of you, @hollydolly. I hope your surgery went well and that you have a quick, easy recovery. Please update us when you are able!
Hols, I expect you to be back to your old self .. before expected. Because, you are one feisty woman!
Seriously - go slow, rest as much as possible. Your body will tell you not to overdo, so, listen to it.
Just spotted this thread. By now, you are out of surgery.
Hoping all went well, and you are beginning the journey back to wellness.
Wishing you the best and keep us advised.
