I survive Surgery with no real drama.

Well went in 11am 21/2/13 discharged 11am 22/2/13 minus Gall Bladder plus major bruising on arms where the had trouble finding veins and arteries and a big one on my belly on one of the 4 wound sites, after 10 hrs sleep I'm feeling much better, at the present I expelling so much gas I could probably launch of chair and steer with mouth,I see the clinic in 4-6 weeks.

Damian,

I had that done about 8 years ago here in Spain and the whole experience was good. To be free from pain was wonderful and I have never looked back. No problems now eating whatever I want and as for the gas problem.......well it should pass!

Get well soon.

Damn I laughed so hard it hurt like hell lol I've had explosive gas since this drama started new years day 2012
I think there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Glad to hear your home again Damien. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and get that paddler finished

A few pic's of the bruises.





The first pic the day I got home.



3 days later the truth comes out



Not a pretty sight.

The bruising is almost gone but I'm left with a Haematoma under the chin at the wound above the belly button About the size of half a peach Doc says may take several weeks before I can wear my back brace and get out to the shed.

My body just never seems to comply correctly
