Just got out of hospital today having been ambulanced last Sunday doubled over in excruciating pain with what turned out to be a strangulated hernia I can tell you now they hurt like buggery.
I then spent my Birthday on the Monday under the surgeons knife getting it sorted. When they got me open they found a grand total of 7 hernias :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: so what was planned to be a relatively simple op turned into a major one
That went well only for me to get a water retention problem which has resulted in me being discharged with a cathater in place, an extremely sore and sensitive belly with a load of staples holding it together, not able to walk any great distance without pain and a new extra lining to my adominal cavity wall
All in all it wasn't the birthday I'd hoped for but at least I'm still here. One good thing is I was able to come out today which is my little wifeys birthday so she's got me to cuddle up to (very gently)
