XTreme

Seems like my nuts are black and blue after the operation! I'll spare you the photo!

I recognise WD40!

I didn't......I could eat up to 8PM. It's the reaction to the General Anaesthetic!

They have the best Hernias for sure!

I'll give it a try Bob......though I don't feel much like eating at the moment!

I'm supposed to do a bit to lower my blood pressure, but unlike @boboneleg I won't be viewing it as some sort of leisure pursuit.

Apparently the wife told me this info yesterday but I didn't remember because I was pretty bleary at the time. It seems the surgeon came out to see her when they'd finished and said the operation had lasted over an hour because the Hernia was so big. Normally they take about 40 minutes. And because it was so involved they ended up giving me a general anaesthetic. I had no idea of that, all I can remember was being on the table and it didn't seem to go on for too long. Turns out I was knocked out completely.......which probably accounts for the fact that I've been feeling a bit sick since I had it done!

Lionel......with a Hernia operation nothing is removed!

Bottle what?

The painkiller seems to have really helped.....still very sore but the real bad pain has been numbed.

I know what I have to do, it's just handy getting personal advice from someone you know.

Bandage not being changed today as it's still clean. I go back tomorrow. Just taken the first painkiller cos it's fucking killing me now.

Where's @Slowlycatchymonkey to give me some medical advice?

5.30am and still awake. Paracetamol won't touch this pain.... got to get some strong painkillers from the health centre later.

I'm home! Finally had a massive piss. But all the painkillers have worn off now and it's really hurting. Apparently it's every day at the Health Centre for 10 days in order to clean it up and apply new bandages. Then on the 10th day the stitches come out.

Still in the hospital....can't leave till I piss.

Cough with the bad flu earlier this year.

Bandage changed every 3 days at the Health Centre. Not sure how long before switches are removed.

All done.... Biggest Hernia they'd seen apparently. So the op took longer than expected and I'm still here. Hoping to get released in the next hour.

Outside operating theatre now!

Thanks guys!
