Had my first proper setback last night. Went for a drink with friends, thought I would take some wine with me. Normally I take 3-4 500ml size bottles of beer (real ale, not lager) but thought that...
Hi Jesper, I think if I had taken the time off as sick leave I would have gone back around the 9 day mark too. My bosses wanted me to take the time as sick but I insisted that it was taken as annual...
Things are moving fast now for me. The surgical staples were removed just under an hour ago, about 16 in all. The scars look very good and are healing nicely. I am eating minced beef, mashed...
Hi all, quick update on how I'm healing. All is good so far, no complications of note. Incisions have come along very nicely, having the surgical clips removed in two days time and I have checked the...
Jesper THANK YOU! When my OH is back tomorrow I will ask her to make pancakes. I never thought of this but that's ideal, I can chew them lots, flavour them with syrups, wash down with liquid,...

Hi Eileen Thanks for your experience. It's good to see what will happen in the UK when I am being put under anaesthetic and you've certainly reassured me. With it being the weekend today I went on a...
Hi Denise, Reading my papers it seems once I get to hospital the anaesthetist will visit me and talk a bit to me, then (I am not sure if I get a room or on a shared ward which is usually six people...

I have had time to properly read the replies as I was rushing out to work earlier but have sat down and looked at them since. Thanks firstly to everyone who has taken the time to reply. There is some...
