Continued healing. i hope your recovery is fast and complete. Take care. ugh sorry you have to have a dog gone cold too. boo

Great that the operation is over and done, and you're able to walk pretty well. Will your medical folks call to follow up? You might want to mention the cough. Regardless, take care :-)

Hope your recovery is speedy.

Take it easy Deb...even if you feel great,let everything heal-get well soon

Yikes, that means, no hot steamy shower.... but keep that humidifier running for sure. I hope you feel better already... from when you posted.

Moni

Take it easy and healing thoughts.

Get well soon!

Hope you are feeling well soon.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

It must be a great relief to have it behind you, sorry about your cold. I use Alka Seltzer cold tablets when I have that dry cough and use an extra pillow for sleeping. They both help so much.

Feel better soon!

Surgery is so scary. Glad it went well. Have a speedy recovery.

Glad the surgery is over. And good luck getting rid of your cold. My 2 year old grand-daughter has a cough. Hope I don't catch it.

Hope the rest of your recovery is smooth!

Sounds like you are doing well. Hope you get rid of that cold fast. Are you having your right leg done at a later date, or just the left? Sorry if I missed that part.

Glad the surgery went well and hope you feel better soon!

Hope you're back to "A OK" very soon.

This cough is a doozy! Because it's so dry it hurts like a bugger to cough. My rib cage is killing me! I have a humidifier going 24/7 but I can also take hot showers. My doctor recommends the shower as the steri strips will fall off one by one (I have about 40 of them). My poor leg is so purple, especially behind my knee. I think I'll have my right leg done before it gets as bad of my left of was. I didn't know this was covered by Alberta Health care so I kept putting it off. If I do the right leg before it gets too bad, it'll only be 2 incisions and 0 pokes.

I don't know anyone who's had their varicose veins removed. I always thought it was as painful as heck. Did you find it not as bad as you'd expected?

I dread getting a cough or cold; they always turn into bronchitis. Even as a kid, I didn't get a common cold, always the horrible bronchitis, which is only treated with antibiotics. Best of luck with your ongoing recovery.

Hope you feel better soon and heal fast from your surgery. Having both at the same time is not fun.

Congratulations on getting your varicose veins removed. I know they are very painful for some people.

Not sure how reliable the guardian is but I thought this was an interesting read. If you can read when you've got a cold. my eyes water so much when I've got a cold that I can't even see. Hope you recover quickly. my dear daughter swears by the Neti Pot.

I'm glad that the surgery went well and hope that the cold or cough clears up soon.
