Well I made it through the travel to MIL's funeral.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement. I am so glad I went. She was a very nice lady who loved us very much, and she deserved the respect, as does my husband. The trip went smoothly, taking less time than we anticipated. We stopped a few times for a bathroom break and to walk around a bit. Same thing coming home.

But let me tell you, it exhausted me. I'm a strong lady, but this TAH has really gotten me. LOL Of course I'm just 2.5 weeks post-surgery so it's pretty amazing I could do it at all. I feel like the trip did set me back a bit in terms of pain, but it was worth it. I honored MIL the way she deserved.

If anybody else needs take a take a long trip before they're healed, I suggest siitting on a pillow. putting a little pillow between you and the seatbelt, taking potty/walking breaks, and resting when you return.

Thanks again for the support. You are all wonderful.

Nan ~ I am so glad the trip went well. So sorry for the reason of the trip but glad you are feeling well. Take the next couple of days to rest now you deserve it.

I so glad that you were able to make it. Now that you are home, try and take some time for you. Relax, read a book, and put your feet up the next couple of days.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Hugs!

I am so glad that you made it on your trip. I am glad you are doing well.

Nan, I'm so glad that you were able to go and that it all went well. I know it does feel like you've taken two steps backwards (been there) but after a few days you'll fell back on track.

Take Care,
Robin
