Thanks Tigger for that. I must say I have been worried for her and have had a few restless nights thinking it over and how she must feel and also that it so easily could have been me in the same situation.

I don't need the wings Tigger as I am only human and doing as I would expect and hope a good friend would do for me in a similar situation.

She is a strong woman and with a disabilited son of 22.
My friend has always been his main carer and was talking of he would cope and of how she worried about it if anything were to happen to her.

So yes it was a big relief to see her bright and positive. Her OH and son noticed this to as soon as she came round from the operation and when she first spoke to them.
