Ok so as we all know I have just had surgery on my pretty small umbilical hernia (that's a hernia through the belly button)
Basically Im not going to cover any thing leading up to it just my experience from the day of the op and the recovery right up to my early training and then into a full blown off season were this journal will finish.
I dnt think this has been done before...
So Monday 30th was the day... was quite nervous leading up to day having never been put under anesthetic before but was actually quite chilled out.
Nursing staff were very nice as were the surgical team... all made comments about bbing etc lol.
So it was a fasted op so no food or water since 11pm night before as was in at 8am, was given a bed and a few seats...
brought my own dressing gown but still had the ass open flappy thing the NHS make you wear.
few paracetemol and waited till 11.00 for op...
hopped in bed and fell a kip lol
woke up and misses was there just in time to see me off...
So in I go hop on bed as it was in my notes I hate needles they were very nice and put me at ease as they fixed my cannular in place...
Mask over face and it took me a while to go under... kept telling me deep breaths, deeper, deeper lol I was sucking as hard as I could.
I was expecting to feel drowsy then drop off... but nope felt 100% then bomp gone lol next thing I know I wake up still in theater job done...
Nurse asks me how I feel
"off my fucking tits" i reply... lol
then straighten away said "where's my misses!" lol and fell back a kip...
took me back to my resting area with my misses and they went over a few things with her as I was well out of it still...
woke up a few times asking to go home then bomp back to kip lol
asked my misses if she was ok a few times as I woke up thinking id upset er lol.
then spoke of a cat???
then told misses in a very discreet voice the Dr. was an ass hole! when she asked why I tried to think and then said it won't make sense now I'll tel ya later... (Dr. was spot on so no idea what that was about...)
last thing I remember waking up and saying was "were is my fucking sarny (sandwich to all non coknys) and then fell asleep... woke up later and said "dnt fucking want it any way!" lol was promised a tea and sarny post op... cnuts...
lol think there was a few other bits but can't remember...
was a bit queezy when I woke...
so time to leave and was pissed off no one had taken my cannular out so removed it my self... guess Im getting over my fear...
went to seating area they ran over a few things... told me no mesh even tho I asked for it... was a tad pissed off with that but hay ho job was finished...
collected pain killers and set off, they offered me wheel chair to the car but I wanted to walk (hadn't realised how dizzy id be status point...) home and didn't want to do any thing but go up to bed...
was more painful then I thought it'd be...
So basically Only Fools And Horses box set and a long kip for most of day... few grapes as was feeling sorry for my self lol and a hand full of aminos...
George was very concerned with my big plaster... gave me a cuddle and kissed it better... was in bed with me for a bit as he knew Daddy was a bit poorly, such a lovely kid... awesome... best thing I ever did or will do in my life is make him... spot on!
that's about it for Monday or all I can remember at least...
Tuesday spent all day still off my tits lol anesthetic can take a week to wear off so altho I feel ok Im drowsy still but when painkillers kick in it gets worse lol.
spent all day every 3hr taking painkillers as its about every 3hr it gets quite uncomfortable.
spent most of the day dozing off on sofa and pissing ppl off on another forum lol.
food has started to go in...
so constantly sipping on 30g Aminos 30 glutamine then when its gone another right through the day in 700ml of water at a time. gone through about 3 so far plus water and squash.
2-3 shakes of tpw Whey Isolate
3eggs on 2 toast.
minced beef, rice, veg and little gravy.
bacon sarny
few biscuits
that's it...
appetite is higher then this but any internal pressure from bloating is uncomfortable...
have not managed a poo since Sunday...
have a slight urge for one but hurts when I push so no real effort gone in yet...
waking is painful and have to hold abs and walk hunched to relieve pain.
picked George up as he wanted a cuddle... that hurt... had to make him stand on sofa to give me a cuddle in the end... lol
Sarah is doing every thing for me atm... helping me off sofa etc every thing bar wipe my ass but Iv not had a poo yet so lets see how much she loves me when I finally drop one lol
so yea will keep this updated and hope any one with a hernia can learn from my experience...
Have some Hygetropin on the way and will be documenting its use along the way to recovery.
should be here 2mo.
also will be running a hrt dose of test.
Iv been completely natty for 10weeks or so now, hope the rest has done me good but would like a little test and gh in me for the recovery period.
Any questions welcome
sorry if it didn't make sense as Im still off my tits really...
