Answer 4

Recovery time depends on age, fitness and your general state of health, obviously.  The op is not half as serious as it was years ago.  I would expect that a few days in hospital would be the norm, about a fortnight to 3 weeks for a full recovery.

Didn't realise it was your wee yin that you were talking about.  She will be fine, the staff at Yorkhill are first class and will look after your daughter.  Best wishes and a speedy recovery for your wee lamb.

Answer 12

a day at most

Answer 13

No I haven't but when I saw it was your wee girl you were talking about just wanted to wish her all the best and a speedy recovery.

Answer 14

I did.  It was back in the 80's and I was in hospital for a week after the op and lying in my bed for a week at home before I got the stitches out.

Technology's came a long way since then.

Its a pain but its not major surgery (routine operations) so don't worry too much.
