Sorry I haven't updated. The op was a success, slight complication because apparently 'my intestines are strange' so I have slightly larger incisions and the op took a lot longer than normal. It scared the hell out of my husband who was going out of his mind and couldn't find anyone who knew anything!

I had a slightly traumatic experience on the operating table as no one could get my IV in. They tried 17!!!! times before they managed to get it in me. So I was battered, bruised and looked like a pin cushion. By the time I got onto the table I was having a panic attack so that wasn't so good.

I'm 4 days post op now and doing okay. I came back to the UK today, it was a painful journey but I made it ok.

The care in Belgium was brilliant, I couldn't fault it at all. All of the nurses were very good. I almost ended up staying in hospital an extra night due to my pain levels and my lack of mobility. Luckily I made quite a big improvement on my original day of leaving so I was allowed to go.

I'm still in a fair amount of pain. I'm heading to the doctors tomorrow so I can get a fit note for work and also give them the paperwork from Belgium.

Just so relived it's over! Xxx
