Hello everyone!
Thank you all so much for your good wishes to me -- they obviously helped a lot and here I am back at home. My neck looks like a cross between Dracula and Frankenstein, but I know from the other side (that was operated on five years ago) that it will soon settle down. But it doesn't hurt, and the main thing is that the operation was successful and my artery is now clear and the blood is flowing to my brain, and there is no muck left in my artery. Thank heavens for surgeons, and for modern medicine!
And isn't it nice that Chava has emerged! It was so good to speak to her again -- I have neglected her and I must put that to rights in the near future. And Matlem has been in touch too -- I am really touched at how kind everyone is.
Today I came back home at lunch time. I feel fine, but very exhausted. I finished off all my jobs before going into hospital, except for one. Well, I shall do one-hour stints, and just stop when I feel tired.
My oldest daughter is at this moment on her way to me to spend the night here -- she's coming from the north of the country just to be with me, and that is so good of her.
My stay in hospital was not easy, certainly not the first two or three days, but the staff were so kind. Hospital nurses really deserve prizes for their work. (I gave them a big box of really good chocolates!) I was in hospital for 10 days, and that was quite long enough, suddenly I just couldn't wait to get out and come home.
Still haven't smoked, although it is getting harder. My son who has stopped with me (not difficult child, the next one up) says he feels sick when he smells someone smoking, but I just want to inhale hard! I wonder how long it will take until this acute longing for a cigarette goes away. I hope it's not too long. I am sucking a lot of sugarless peppermint sweets.
I'm so happy to be back with all of you.
Love, Esther
