I worry too much. But I am relieved. Here’s to a fast recovery.
What Rodney Nelson said. Also: Don’t worry about blogging, or not-blogging. That’s the least of your concerns right now. Take your meds, heal up, cuddle with the kitties, and only after all that is done, come back and tell us about it.
Brilliant news! I was starting to worry.
Wonderful to hear you’re back at home.
There’s no rush to blog. Get your rest.
Glad to hear things went well and that you’re home. Hope you feel better and recover quickly!
Good. Rest.
Ed Brayton on Facebook posted that you’re okay and all went well. Recover quickly. WE LOVE YOU.
Rest, sleep, snuggle with cats, repeat as needed.
Yes, blog later. Drugs and rest now. Much love.
To a swift recovery.
YAY!
We’ve both been thinking about you today.
Go and snuggle up with Ingrid and the kids. Rest!
Very glad to hear it went well, Greta.
Loved the post, BTW – I have friends and colleagues who think I could learn a few things from you about being succinct. 😉
Take care and have a speedy recovery.
Lots of hugs and good thoughts.
Feel better soon.
I’m glad to know that. Get well soon!
Be well. You have no responsibility toward your readers, no need to worry about us.
Glad it went well. But please, put yourself first, second and third, and your readers last. This is about YOU.
Best wishes – and take care of yourself
Glad surgery went well, and hope the outcome is the best possible. Hugs for you, Ingrid, and kittehs.
Good news…be well.
Get well soon.
Great news! I keep wondering if you’ve had the davinci assisted procedure. I got a hysterectomy due to massive fibroids in July and it was davinci assisted. *keeping you in my thoughts*
Happy to hear it went well. Amazing that years ago this procedure would have kept you in the hospital for a week or more. Now, you’re home in your own bed healing same day.
Yaaaayyyyy for surgery done, and well done! Here’s wishing you good drugs, kitteh cuddles as and when appropriate, peace and quiet and lots of tlc, all of which will help towards a fine recovery. All the best to you both.
Well, thank Science and Surgeons, it went well for you. Congrats!
we lurkers wish you well
Glad all went well. Take care.
Get lots of rest. We’ll be here when you’re feeling better.
SO glad it went well! I wish you a speedy recovery. Do get lots of rest. Gentle hugs to you.
Congratulations on a good surgery.
Take the drugs as prescribed, their really are reasons not to play tough until you can’t stand it and then eat’em like popcorn.
Love to you, Ingrid and mogs.
So glad to hear (read) this. Keep up with your pain meds and take it easy. We’ll be here when you get back.
Nice drugs? I think if they’re going to cut you open, the least they can do is provide you with some nice drugs.
Anyway, I’m glad you’re alive.
*Hugs*
Yay medical science. Don’t worry about us, Greta, we can get acquainted with the new FTBloggers while you rest up with your kittens =D
Sounds good. So glad. You rest. Get sleep. Blog later.
As someone who has had more than my share of major surgery, I have advice. You have been through a trauma. Rest, BUT get up and walk. Short distances, just around the house at first, many times a day. And be sure to stand up straight no matter how much your body wants to curve protectivly around the wound. Trust me. It makes a huge difference in recovery time.
I know Ingrid will take good care of you. We’ll be waiting here when you feel like talking to us again.
Take your time and take care of you.
Rest, relax, and take your time. You are worth waiting for. Big, gentle, wrap-around hug!
Best wishes again! (I’ve been away, and didn’t check the date on your preceding post.)
May you have many steaming mugs of chicken broth with sprigs of rosemary. Gentle hugs for you and Ingrid.
Take care Greta.
I hope your recovery is going well.
Donation made to Camp Quest; wishing you a speedy recovery, Greta.
Thinking of you. Hope you have reached the point where each day you feel better, rather than worse.
Wish you well.
How goes it?
Good news. Get rest. Get better. Kick more wingnut ass 😉
excellent! hugs from the lurkdom. i know you were hot to start that Cossack folk dancing class at the community college ASAP, but maybe put it off for at least a week or 2.
and revel in the fact that your cats are (for the only time in their life) earning their keep
It’s very quiet on the Greta front. Oh, wait. Is that sound of cats purring? They must be enjoying Greta’s bedrest.
