John visited her and said she was ok but still obviously groggy from the anaesthetic but sitting propped up and quite chatty.

She's since had a reasonably good night and she tells me in a text that she's sitting by the bed more than just a little sore which I guess is to be expected; but she seems in good spirits and ok.
Shirley is going to see her later today so I expect I'll get more news and detail afterwards.
