Whoo Hoo!

The drain is out, the incision is 95% healed, the bruising is slowly transitioning from aubergine purple to olive green,and the doctor has declared me "good to go!"

I came home and celebrated with a Belgium Brewing Company Somersault beer (nice apricoty fruit taste with some not too bitter hops follow up) , and then had to promise both resident FIL and DH the SAG guy that "I will do this carefully, I will not be stupid and push it, and I will rest as needed."

Thank you one and all for your amazing support and encouragement.
I have read and reread every comment and they have all cheered and inspired me.
TE members rock far beyond the best.

Woot!!!! May you continue to heal and get stronger by the day. :)
