Hi Gaynor, pleased to hear all went well. I had very low BP as well after the op so be very careful getting up, I passed out twice just sitting up so had to put my first walk off for 24 hours, still went home the second day after the op though. Good luck! Penny
Morning new hippie member, welcome to the club. Each hour today you will start to feel stronger as I also had low BP as evidently lost lot of blood during the op. Coupe of bacon rolls two hours later and stron sweet brew up....set it right staight away. And once they get you on Zimmer and side chair...you will feel so much better. You may feel nervous but take your time, deep breaths, nice an easy, you'll be up later today or tomorrow morn. Kee us all up to date, best wshes to you.

Good to hear everything went well. You will be up and about soon never fear. Good luck and a speedy recovery.

Hi Gaynor
Welcome.to our lil group
Yes like others here here I was measured as 90/60 as my blood pressure in hospital..which was crazy cos I'm usually 140/90 with a low daily amount of anti high_norm BP pills. Like my urinary retention...all returned to normal once effect of spinal of analgesic wore off the following week.
God luck with washing and walking up stairs....at 7 weeks yes it was frustrating and yet all worked out well so far.
