Getting cut up on Friday

By Montag · Oct 24, 2007 · ·
  1. I have an operation on Friday 26th to fix my damn Inguinal Hernia.

    I'm not really worried about it, because its a pretty simple thing, and the surgeon doing it is pretty good at his job. It's day surgery so I won't even have to sleep in the hospital.

    I'd like to deal with it by just not thinking about it, getting it fixed, and concerntrating on getting back on my feet. But mum, as mums do, keeps calling me and talking about it. She's called to 'confirm which hospital it is' three times this week, and along with it comes the flood of questions: 'oh, are you nervous? Does it hurt now? Are you sure about x, y and z?'.

    Hmm, yea mum, just like last time you called. It puts me on a bit of a downer about it, but these things happen, and I love her for caring so much.

    Dad, on the other hand, is busy travelling around Australia. His reaction was 'Surgery huh? Bummer. We were at Bathurst for the supercars last weekend, it was awesome!'

    No lie, that's what he said.

    Anyway, I'll be happy to get it over and done with.

    On a semi-related note, all this time off is giving me plenty of time to write. In the last week, I've been averaging around 3000 words/12 hours a day, and for once I actually like what I've written.

    I'll update my blog with the results of the surgery on the weekend probably. If I don't, send your condolences to 122 Belvedere rd, Perth WA... Just kidding :D

    I just got home from the hopital. My stomach hurts like hell, but not as bad as I expected. Op went well, and apparently I hit on the nurse while I was drugged up :D.

    I'm feeling ok, and I have some good painkillers to help me. I was up and walking a half hour after waking up.

    Ohhh I'm in a bad way :(

    It is incredibly painful to do anything, especailly coughing and sneezing and laughing. I made the mistake of watching Seinfeld... Damn that was painful :( (then again watching seinfeld is always painful)

    Painkillers aren't working either.

    :(:(:(:(

    Well, painkillers are working, but not the way there supposed to. They dont take away the pain they just make me vomit. :-(

    I went back to hospital last night, and they were debating wether to do more surgery to check for an internal wound, but they decided not to. They shot me full of saline and antibiotics though, and I'm not taking my painkillers anymore either, I hate the things.

    I think I'll be fine soon tho.

    Thanks anthraxx I'm doing pretty good now.

    I was able to walk to the shop and back just then, with very little pain. It's not a bad improbvement from being totally screwed on monday.

    I'm sure I'll be back on my bike by next monday, (I hate having to walk to places) and improving.

    I'll update this once more in a weeks time.
