Sheelagh

Hi Eileen i am Sheelagh from Ireland. i was banded on the 24 and could empathise so much with your situation. i too am only starting to feel normal. i still feel very blooted and just wish it would go down. i went out driving yesterday 4 days post surgery just about managed, visited my parents who seemed supportive. i too am living this alone, well i have a 6ft son who eats and cooks constantly so in a way you are lucky and i know he doesnt mean too but he is driving me mad. i hope you feel better soon. take care S
