Hey everyone.

I made it through. Now 3rd day after surgery. 1 drain is out. One more drain to come out and hopefully my catheter will go.

The tracki is frustrating because I'm trying to rush. Not used to slowing down.

However I've walked 10 metres today and have spent nearly 5 hours in a chair, rather than bed.

I even tried to sip water, again in going too fast and my free flap is still swollen.

Everyone is very happy with my progress. So I've been very lucky to be given my own room, in the hospital, for the weekend, so that I can try to sleep.

Thank you Mokie, Chrissie and everyone. I'll keep you posted with news and I'll catch up with what's been happening with you all.
