Missed a day, sorry guys!  Day 8 Post-Op

Sonja left the hospital today and doesn’t need her stick!

After a visit from Dr. Clavel, several from the nurses and a whole bunch of pills to take over the next several days as well a daily (anti-coagulant) injection pack, she has to do herself, they let her out.

We have two follow-up visits back to the hospital next week with Dr. Clavel and the heart doctor.  We also have a great set of Xrays that show the new disks, I'll try to upload them as soonm as we can get an electronic copy. They will also be sending a physiotherapist to our apartment next week.  All in all the level of care here has been excellient!

While Sonja had a bit of a re-lapse yesterday (we think she had just over done it a bit) she is in good shape.  Her back ached a lot we think she did a bit too much stretching, dressing herself.  Today though she is in great shape and good spirits.

She tires quickly, packing and a taxi ride to the apartment wiped her out for a good couple of hours.

Sonja is walking well, though slowly.  Most of important, no pain!  Just post operation aches and a very delicate tummy… Quiron Hospital is the big grey building in the top right of this picture.
