[MargoCL 677]

No need to freak out, before you know it you will be in recovery and up and walking. Just remember to walk as much as you can post surgery.

You are probably out of surgery by now, so instead of best of luck, I will say, Wishing you a speedy recovery!

In a little over a week our positions will be changing, I then will be gowned and waiting for surgery and you will be on the outside looking in , cheering me on, telling me every little th8ng will be OK and it will be, because Surgery,Now is not the Big Bear Bugaboo it once was! Not like falling off a log because WHO wants to fall off a log anyway but pretty smooth and easy-like.Surgeon's do them everyday, if they were clumsy and uncoordinated, they were never have a line patients wanting them.

I will be watching for your posts as you give up your present life and reel in the reigns to get control. I cant wait for you to make up with your scale and after you apologize for past bad words aimed in its direction you will find it is now your best friend. The first time you can sit and actually cross your legs is a day to mark on the calendar too. Life is so different on the post surgery side. Welcome aboard very soon Frustr8. Take those pictures and measurements now. They will help you more than you would think they could while you make your journey. Best wishes and Good Luck.

Thank you @ skinnydreamer16. I will have Tomkitten take some,pictures. Now the measurements, that may not be for a day or two. I seem to have lost my 120 inch measuring tape. No silly I am not 120 inches around but portions of measure more than the 60 inch one I did find. Remember the shoemaker children not having shoes? Well this is like that, I used to work Fabrics and Crafts at Wally World. You would think I would have any number of sewing items, wouldn't you. My wise acre son says I can get dads metal tape out of the tool box, you could lay on the floor and roll back and forth. No don't think so, plus watching me get up off the floor would win of America' s Funniest Home Videos. Ain't pretty baby Ain't Pretty!-💇Picture of Tomkitten as I chase him🏃
