Hi Loony, best wishes for your forthcoming op love. I am sure all will be well with you. Have your chair placed near a window with your bins and your books and the bird feeder where you can see it...and I bet you will see plenty of birds..... keep a good supply of refreshments, liquid, fruit and chocolate
and take your time with everything.
Perhaps you can use the recovery time to do some cross stitch or other light sewing or knitting or catch up on some reading.... but really I would just take the time and relax... spring is on its way.
Keeping you in my thoughts
Jaki
