	Hi all xx 1 week progress report ....... Things are gradually improving. I still have an untold number of staples in an incredibly long incision, and a drain. Hopefully, the drain will be removed on Thursday, and then I can have a SHOWER on Friday :-D If not, then I will have to wait until Monday ......... and have the first celebratory shower on Tuesday I have made an appointment with my hairdresser for this afternoon to get my hair WASHED. Oh JOY! :-) I still have to keep my left arm close against my body, to provide some support ................. and also as a reminder NOT to make many movements! BUT ... I can now move my left forearm and hand with more ease and without causing too much discomfort, so I can ....................... now type with 3 fingers .......... one of which is on my left hand! I went out yesterday for the first time ...... for afternoon coffee. The coffee shop owners gave me a free latte. as a welcome back. This has not been the most enjoyable time, but we're getting there! Thank you everyone for your support, and good wishes. s xxxx

	SO lovely to see yu Sylvs !! You seem to be doing so very well but I am sure it has been and still is a difficult and painful time for you !! Take it slowly and come back to us fit and healthy very soon!! Do you know - that is one good thing about being small !! - I don't know how large or small you are, but If I were to have the same operation, they would only have to put in just a very few staples 'coz from the middle of my front to my back is only about 8 inches !! AND - I would only lose about 2 ounces in weight !!! :-D :-D Get 'proper' well soon, Dea Xxx <3

	How lovely to see you Sylvia :-D :-D I know just what you mean about keeping your arm close to you and remembering not to move it. I gave up using capitals for a while as I could not reach the key with 1 hand. No one complained. We will have you using that latex soon and crawling the walls. It works though. I have a lot more strength and movement in my arm. I even managed to hooks of my bra this week. Got stuck on the third one. And I have tied a bow behind my back. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I have found something new. I copy and paste census info onto my GR tree in the notes section. If you highlight a name or address say and right click it gives an option to google it in a new tab.

	Good morning all, Jonesy thanks for the info on Blackpool, it looks an interesting place for a visit. Persie no we didn't get that series here. It seems to take FOREVER to get things from o/s on our screens..even Downton Abbey the second series is not beng shown until March next year :-P cross about that!!!! Sylvia glad you are improving, I am sure you will loads better once you can have a shower. Having your hair washed will help hugely too. Hope evryone is having a nice day/night thus far! :-D

	hey LK so glad to hear that things are progressing well for you! I don't have to wear a bra anymore, if I don't want to! I got excellent movement back in my right arm before just by doing the wall crawling exercises, and intend to get a similar range back with my left one this time. The physio offered is much better this time .................... I can start crawling the wall after the drain comes out (hopefully Thursday), and I start with one of the physios at the place I usually go in about 2 weeks time. s xx

	Dea ........................ I am quite a bit larger than you! ...................... I have lost almost 5 lbs in weight :-0 and I only had one liquid meal! My appetite is down by about one third from normal ............... but that is about the same weight I also lost in 1995 as my then-GP said "that's quite a drastic way to lose weight" :-D s xx

	Grace Hi! Blackpool is an experience not to be missed! It is one of those seaside places where people used to go before the "hoi polloi" were able to travel outside the UK, or got more than a few days annual holiday. Lots of sand where kids could play, donkey rides, a pier to walk along, a steel Tower, with a ballroom and nightly entertainment for the adults. It is raunchy, loud, "common" .................. and great fun. No matter whether you go in summer and enjoy the sands and the fun park atmosphere, or in the autumn months when they have the "Blackpool Illuminations". s xx

	Is it true the older you get the earlier you get up? If so, I'll be getting up an hour after going to bed by the time I reach 70!

	Gin, Yes that appears to be the case although you make up for it by having a 20 minute nap every half hour. ;-)

	To paraphrase a well known ex-prime minister: "We are a great grandfather." Miss Lexi Elizabeth came into this world exactly 22 minutes ago. Mother and daughter are both doing well. There is no news yet as to the fathers condition but missing his nights sleep will obviously mean that he is tired out.
