Hi everyone update I am 7 days post op already wow it has gone so fast Friday tomorrow June 6, 2012 get my last drain out has not been bad at all a little tired today to many fireworks going off outside my bedroom window and I have been having coughing spells not sure what that is all about. But looking forward to going home to be able to sleep in the bed with my husband he went home Sunday night and I'm missing him.

Hi niggi oh it's great to know someone else on Thursday having a tt. It's 6 .30 am and I have had 3 hours sleep as I can't sleep as my tummy is having summer saults. Really nervous now. This site really helps as I don't know anyone who has had a tt good luck with yrs too. I am thinking about lots of things and worrying also. When I had surgery last time 3 years ago for my shoulder. Something went wrong and I ended up in intensive care and really I'll. It's a long story but it's rare I know but obviously I'm frightened and my family is too hope I haven't worried u that's just a rare thing.
