A great big THANK YOU to the nearly hundred kind friends who wrote to me on Facebook to wish me well for my hip replacement surgery.

Here is a little update:

I went into Stanford Hospital on Friday morning and was operated on about 7:30 am. The procedure lasted about an hour and a half. I was then moved to the recovery room and after a couple of hours to a nice room, which I shared with one other patient. My care could not have been better managed; even the food was good!

Amazingly, I was discharged on Saturday evening, a whole day ahead of schedule. So I am now back home and David is looking after me wonderfully. I have a great supply of books and Netflix too. My physiotherapy began this afternoon.

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.
