Glad to hear that so far so good! Yeah, it does take a bit of time, and I remember that even just a few weeks ago I was frustrated & disappointed that I didn't feel better than I was. My doctors just shook their heads and said "You had major surgery Jo! It's going to take time!" *sigh* we just want it better NOW!! Don't we Kelly....LOL Hope you have a safe trip home, and enjoy the comfort & company of home and family.
Cheers, hugs & love
Jo
