So - today I went for my OP in Burnley Hospital.
The staff were brilliant, I had a bed on a ward where I got to go in 2nd place.
Woke up a few hours later minus a gall bladder, apparently it was not in the normal place and they had to search for it, luckily all done within the same keyhole rather than opening me up further.
Again the staff were brilliant, the facilities were good too.
I'm in very little pain (unless I prod it), however the surgeon was rather concerned about the size of my belly, thinking it was distended so was wanting to keep me in overnight at first, after a trip to a large mirror in the loo I managed to tell him that it always looks big (think beer belly).
Finally got out at 7pm ish.
Had to sit the mrs down and explain stuff to her and that the surgeon himself had prescribed me plenty of TLC and daily ingestion of chocolate.
Not too sure I'll get those but I had to try
Now for 2 weeks of leave whilst I recuperate.
Whilst I was there I managed to persuade a male nurse what 3D printer he needed, he's hooked I think
