> Hi Everyone
>
> Jo, is doing well considering. The first couple of days as you know are
> up and down, so far I can tell you that since no saline has been used to
> extend the abdominal wall, Jo did not experience bloating and the pain
> associated with that :-). Over the last day or so since she started
> moving around her pre-surgery leg pain has become more evident.
>
> Jo felt pain in the upper stomach area even after a considerable amount
> of laxatives, an X-ray this morning that showed a blockage still
> remained in the small bowel so the focus continues to relieve that and
> free up the bowel.
>
> Still some surgery pain, so we are still waiting for that to settle for
> a truer picture. Pain medication has also been reduced to assist with
> the bowel and withdrawal.
>
> Jo remains optimistic and keen to compare her two recent surgeries and
> their outcomes.
>
> Jo sends her love, thanks and prayers to each of you! :-)(K)(K)

> Warm Regards
