Well that is good news, i was starting to worry about her.
Now it's just a matter of stopping her doing to much, to soon.

Hello team and thanks for your good wishes. I'm fine in my head but my body feels rather battered. I ended up with keyhole surgery but with a very large keyhole to accommodate the two golf ball sized gall stones. Infinitely better than the open surgery option though as it's half the recovery time.
There's no danger of me doing much yet as just breathing takes a fair amount of effort. A mobile phone is a blessing as I can at least feel safe in the greenhouse and garden, but I think my dear friend Seedling will have a bit more watering to do before we're back to normal.

Dear Chantal, i'm sure Seedling won't mind watering them all summer long.

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Chantal. Sorry to hear you have been suffering from gallstones. My mum had her gall bladder out about 20 years ago, when keyhole wasn't an option. Very large scar
Get well soon, your veg need you!

Thanks everyone, you're all so kind. I'm not doing much, I promise although I did walk up to the plot this afternoon for a look. Loads of potatoes have come through since Sunday which was a bit of a surprise but there's nothing through from either the carrots or parsnips yet.
Seedling has been round watering plants, moving stuff around and telling me off (what would I do without her) but just getting into the greenhouse is making me feel better. It doesn't involve having to sit down for a start.
