Home again

I came home from the wonderful Mater hospital yesterday evening with my three beautiful boys. I feel I have a very good testimonial for private health insurance in me right now! I can't believe how lucky I am to have had that amazing care and such fabulous facilities, right at the end of the street. So good to be home and back to some sort of normality again.

I am also feeling so grateful to my surgeon, Dr Kylie Snook, who has left me in so much better shape than I imagined possible. I am experiencing no pain and seem to have full mobility in my left arm and shoulder. I will keep taking my panadol (yes, that's really all) and doing my physio exercises to make sure nothing changes, but just can't believe how good I feel after such major surgery.

I have to carry a post-op drain around in a custom-made little black shoulder bag for a few days. No big deal, everything made as simple and as comfortable as possible.

Busy morning, with visits from Apac nurse, physio, Susie Cummins and Mim looking after Henry
Bear. Great to have so much support, but I'm also enjoying a little quiet time before the Bear gets back.
