IM BACK!!!!!
Hi guys.
Thanks to all for the messages it put a little smile on my face to know I was a 'topic' and I did a reasonable job of predicting who would pipe in and the sort of things they would say - still nice to know my buds where thinking of me.
The worst was the wait for surgery and being told on Thursday morning (when I was certain I would be taken for surgery during the day) that they would TRY and squeeze me in that day. At this point I was going stare crazy and had not eaten and barely drunk since monday evening at 7pm - I was bloody starving!
However the nurses asured me that as far as they knew it was gonna happen that day and as my GF Sue left from afternoon visiting at 4:30 a guy in a blue space suit arrived - Ben the anesthetist we chatted for 10 mins only for him to tell me that I would have to hurry if I wanted a quick wash and a teeth brush up as I would be collected any time in the next few mins!
I have, like many people, a fear and loathing of hospitals and surgery and would have staked all my laser kit on me being in a severe state of bricking myself. In reality as I lay there in pre-op I have seldom felt so calm and relaxed - and no I was not on drugs at this stage. I put this down to just wanting it over and done with and the confidence I got from the surgon and his staff. Dr Abdul Razek I owe you!
As for poor old Sue - what a great week off work she had - running to and froe from the hospital to home. Shes a fooking diamond.
So its all over and now its back to the real world after a few false starts - go home Fri, then sat or sunday, then Monday! then no, ok Sunday it is. So here we are and im feeling GOOOOOOD. 95% back to normal - just need to take it easy for a week or two.
and yes Jem it was keyhole but by now I guess you worked that out.
Now where is my laser.
Rob
