Glad Ur feeling well after your op Cherokee. Did you have an Epidural or were you asleep?.
They say you are a lot better and heal quicker after an Epidural.
I had the op in July 03. I opted to be put to sleep after having a bad experience with an epidural after my last child. I wish I never had the blooming operation for along time. It was the most horrendous experience of my life.
Before hand I was OK not much in the way of nerves chatting to one of the nurses about N.V.Qs and smoking way to many fags.
After I was in sheer agony all battered n bruised. The catheter was worse than the stitches in my tummy. They were sheer hell even after they had been taken out due to my being over weight. Black n blue from waist to thigh.
I was in tears due to the wind, they then gave me some awful mint stuff. I told the nurse I would be sick but she wouldn't have it. Served her right when I vomited on her. I only got rid of it when I could sneak very slowly to the corridor and get some fizzy coke.
Mick was wonderful when I first came home bless him. ( Big Bully ) I was very board he wouldn't let me move from the settee for a fortnight. Had to help me in and out the bath an did everything.
Take it easy Cherokee and all the best for a speedy recovery
