Went into hospital at 7am on Wednesday morning. Unpacked my gear and did all the admin with the nursing sister.
My anaesthetist came and had a word followed by my consultant. After getting into my gown and mesh surgical pants
I walked to the operating theatre. The anaesthetic sat me on a table and inserted a cannula. He told me that the first drug going in was
An anti sickness drug and the second was a sedative that would make me drowsy in the next 30 seconds.
The next thing I remember was that I was lying in my bed and a nurse was checking pressures and various other things.
When she’d finished I was taken to X-ray and back in my room for 11am. Absolutely amazing.
Discharged at 2 pm today and watching the test match.

That's brilliant news Tom, glad everything went ok, you'll soon be back on the bank.

 

[Dave Bartell]

Congratulations Tom, hope your recovery goes as smoothly. Private or NHS ?

 

[Simon Archer]

Brilliant isn't it. How do they do it ?? My first one only took 40 minutes. Get well soon.

The anaesthetic told me the second was a sedative that would make me drowsy in the next 30 seconds.

Discharged today and watching the test match.

Amounts to pretty much the same thing going on yesterdays performance,......

Update on day 3 post opp.
No sleep Wednesday or Thursday but tweeked the pain relief meds and managed some broken sleep last night.
During the day I try to keep moving and then it’s take pain relief meds, exercises, and then ice packs.
Whole leg is swollen and very stiff. Every couple of hours have a steady walk down the drive and back.
A long slow job but it’ll all be worth it.

It’ll be worth the discomfort Tom. Keep biting the bullet
