A gift from fate or whatever!<br /><br />Jules - yeas, it's a huge relief and I did get back to sleep and didn't wake until 7 so I think I've had my ration of sleep really.<br /><br />Margaret - it's down as keyhole surgery which will be a lot better, assuming they can, and I don't see why not. Yours must have been loads worse, being an emergency. Not nice for you. <br />No, longfellow wasn't cheerful but he caught yesterday's weather perfectly.<br /><br />Eileen - oh, so do I. so fingers crossed. In a way, it is a gift because things haven't been exactly comfortable over the last five months really.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone.<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-71358750169409773552018-04-10T10:03:51.087+01:002018-04-10T10:03:51.087+01:00A strange sort of birthday present but I do hope t...A strange sort of birthday present but I do hope the op doesn't get postponed.

That is less invasive, or so I've heard, I was home within a couple of days after surgery, but it took a few weeks to get back to normal again. But unlike you, I was very ill and was admitted as an emergency, you have had time to 'shrink your liver' (this was never suggested to me, but even had it been there wouldn't have been time for such a diet). But as I say, what a birthday present!<br />I'm now off to bed for 1/2 hr. Husband is making porridge which I will enjoy in bed, reading my book. The best place to be on a rainy day ... oh, Longfellow wasn't exactly cheery, was he! <br />Margaret P <br />www.margaretpowling.com galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-2870806797014580392018-04-10T08:40:35.808+01:002018-04-10T08:40:35.808+01:00It must be a relief to finally have your date.

Re your sleeplessness, CT from Country Tales told me about taking a magnesium supplement - which I did re start this week and boom - sleeping through or managing to get back to sleep after the 3am wee!
