Well, that's me on the other side, op done & dusted at Dolan Park Hospital Bromsgate. No problems at all, everyone lovely from Driver; Receptionist; Health Care Assistants; Nurses; Doctors; my Anaesthetists, (can't remember her name, but she was lovely), and of course my surgeon Mr Paul Super. Everything went according to plan. I had never had an operation before, so was a little nervous, however, no need, all went very well, no ill effects whats so ever from the anaesthetic, no nausea or sickness, right as rain. I was moving about quickly, able to drink water, coffee, and even a cup a soup. I was driven to the airport by the driver the following morning for my flight home, I had wee while to wait on my flight, so off I went round the shops dragging my case behind me, it's on wheels but still weighty. Bought some wine for my hubby and goodies for my girls. Even treated myself to a lipstick! Had coffee, then another wander before boarding. For some reason I kept dropping things, that's when I felt the slight pulling feeling when bending down to retrieve them. Fine on the plane, sat and read for the short journey. Met by hubby & wee daughter. Now you'd think I would go straight home, but not a bit of it, "Take me to Tesco to get some yogurts & soup" says I! by this time I was starting to slow down and get a bit achey. Back home later, stuck a washing on then sat down, couldn't get comfortable, was feeling my incisions and had difficulty getting up off the chair. Off to bed at 7.30pm, in quite a bit of pain, took strong liquid painkillers & my Kindle loaded up with, 'Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook For Dummies'. Read for a wee while before conking out. MORAL of the story, Do Not Do Too Much Too Soon! I was fooled into thinking, that because I was initially fine with no adverse ill effects, that I was able to do things as normal as I felt so well, which of course turned out to be totally false. In essence I made myself quite unwell. Got up today at lunchtime, more painkillers, taking it very easy today, and boy have I learned my lesson... I'll be taking it very easy for a couple of days and no mistake. Lesson Learnt.
