Just a very quick post to say I am now back home.
All went brilliantly and I won the metaphorical "patient of the week" award for doing as I was told and recovering so fast! I also win the metaphorical worlds' biggest drainage" prize for the amount of seroma my wound is still producing - not a concern just "how it is sometimes'.
I, due course I will write more about adventures in the forest and the amazing creatures that dwell there, but for now I am simply resting and enjoying the literal view from my real life windows.
Many, many thanks for the prayers and 'virtual' hugs and hand-holds that helped me on my way; I am among women truly blessed.
