I am not very good when it comes to provincial flags being a typical self centered, caffeine oriented, almost vegitarian west coaster but Barrie is Ontario, right?

I have only endless faqs sheets to console me until that time.

Hopefully you have some friends to distract you during your recovery.

Mine will be a basic orch so i anticipate some stuff but asking my friends for help has me climbing my hormonal walls.

Much Love

Rachel

Hi Amanda,

Are you doing this by yourself or is there someone with you?

I assume Michelle is you partner or SO.

[Guest Rachel Gia]

Normally I busk at Granville Island on Saturdays but we had a big snowfall (for Vancouver) and I am just bustling at home right now.

Was the opp you had more of the 7 week downtime or the two day with reduced activity for 2 weeks type?

I'm off work till May 14 work arranged through blue cross to get supplemental wages while  i am off.  i do live with my parents so they are around if i need help.  michelle is my girlfriend.  it's funny her family is british and mine is german both are grandfathers were in france in 1940. in may will be two years together i am finding that i can't do much yet which drives me nuts lol.   i am hoping in a few weeks to start building a model or two

As Jani said it's wonderful you have support in the house and your parents is even better.

Mine is of the two week recovery type and a little ways away.

I just asked my elder mentor (both my parents are passed) if he could come over in the first 24 hours to hang with me and I was super happy that he is great with that. I figure this is something I should not do alone.

Welcome to The Other Side.  The tired and beat up feeling in the weeks immediately after surgery was not fun when it was my turn 5 years ago, but I found that I did feel measurably better each day while it lasted. Don't worry if it takes 6 months or so to get some of your feeling in the area sorted out, it will be worth the wait.

I think it's a modern miracle, making an innie from an outtie, congratulations Amanda. Walking is wonderful, a little at first, then more as time goes on.

 

Take good care, gentle hugs

VickySGV Never felt better except pain lol when the nurse took me in and after i woke up it was just a feeling of peace.  i figure starting next week i will start working on a model its easy not requiring of much energy and relaxing.  a lufthansa version of the Blohm und Voss 222 i found two pictures just before it was repainted for the luftwaffe.   and a lot of reading .
