good morning all

Lizlin
Hi and hugs, Sprite. How did the op go?
1:11 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* It went very well and smoothly. I was home by noon! Hurting like a lady dog though, didn't sleep much. But I expect the pain will lessen over the day. No new plaster! I am allowed to walk and exercise, and just have to listen to my body. Too much pain = overdoing it. A little is okay.
1:12 am
SueMagee
How are you doing, sprite?
1:12 am
Lizlin
So, take it easy and build up the strength gradually - even when Rose is with you. It'd be awful to set it back by doing too much too soon.
1:12 am
sprite
*hugs Sue* pretty good!
1:13 am
Lizlin
I assume they've given you something for the pain.
1:13 am
sprite
good advice, thanks Liz
1:14 am
Lizlin
Nothing new really and you know that anyway but it'll be very tempting to overdo it when you're with Rose because I know there are so many places you want to show her.
1:14 am
sprite
yeah they did, pretty strong stuff. I even took it last night. But it is bone pain... not easy to manage.
1:15 am
Lizlin
Well, I guess like you said, the pain will gradually recede.
1:15 am
sprite
once the pain settles, I am gonna see what I can do and what not. I still have some time to build up strength until Rose arrives!
1:15 am
Lizlin
Sure and very positive motivation too :)
1:20 am
Lizlin
Puglet is in the grid. Are you or Rose still in contact with her?
1:20 am
sprite
am incredibly happy that I am without cast now and allowed to do my own rehab.
1:21 am
Lizlin
I can imagine - I know you were hoping for the cast to be totally removed and I'm really happy it worked out for you.
1:21 am
sprite
I am not, not sure about rose. Puglet stopped answering my emails, which made me sad.
1:21 am
sprite
thanks Liz :)
1:22 am
Lizlin
The docs must be pleased with the way you're healing.
1:25 am
sprite
they were flabbergasted. With such a complicated fracture and the operations, it should have taken me 4 months to come to this point, not 2. I told them, this is the power of reiki, lots of tiny exercises all the time AND the prayers of my friends.
1:28 am
sprite
have been worried about puglet, she tended to feel ashamed when things in her life did not go well, and then she would find it hard to email with us.
1:28 am
Lizlin
I hope all's OK. I lost contact with her many many years ago.
1:29 am
sprite
I hope so too. She is a sweet lady who deserves a better deal in life than she got.
1:32 am
Christine
Sprite ... fantastic news!!!
1:33 am

Got to go - cake to look after etc. Hugs and keep on healing, Sprite.
