thanks for the good wishes & prayers - this healing lark is sooo bloody slow! I felt more comfortable when I left hospital, before my wound started swelling up. It's hard to get comfortable with (old) sore back & legs & (new) swollen wound.

More liquid removed today (& he as he said, he didn't find that nerve again!) - about 200ml, the first lot was a cup & a half & I'll be needing several more sessions next week. I forgot to ask how long the swelling would last, but I don't suppose I could get an accurate answer!
