Went to see the old bird last night and she's doing really well! As she has just had a spinal block (and not major anesthetic) she was not groggy or sleepy and really positive. She may be a bit sore today as the block wears off. She said the only freaky bit was being half conscious and waking twice to feel them tugging at her leg/bones and shaving bone off!! Argghhhh!!!
Totally perky last night though and very positive about it all. Said she hasn't felt the slightest bit worried at all - good eh? She is in with 4 other old birds and that is giving her the fire she wants to get out quick!!
