On Thursday the 25th Feb I was admitted to hospital for some minor skin surgery to remove a non malignant cystic lesion which I have had for over a year. I'm not giving details about where it is in case someone reading this is eating a sandwich or having a meal but lets just say that in the absence of a bidet in my home, after using the loo, to prevent infection, I now have to do handstands in the shower :rofl; (only kidding, thank God for removable shower heads)
OK enough info maybe too much, please don't let it spoil your sandwich or whatever.
I had a full anaesthetic which always leaves me bog eyed for a couple of days. With this kind of surgery they discharge you after few hours after the operation but because of my kidney condition they kept me in overnight. In most NHS hospitals they have a private wing which you have to pay for but if there isn't a bed available in the NHS wards they put you in the private wing anyway and bill the NHS. So I had my own private room with the most comfortable hospital bed I've ever slept in complete with en suite bathroom and TV etc.
The next day I was discharged but had to go to dialyis in the afternoon so no sooner was I home than I was on the hospital transport minibus to take me to D. (couldn't drive, anaesthetic still having an effect) Now after this surgery sitting down is painfull enough but everytime that rickety old minibus went over a speed ramp it was like I'd landed on a red hot poker! Aaaargh the pain.
Coming back was even worse because there were four other patients to take home and typical of my luck I was the last one off so what is normally a twenty minute journey from the unit back home if I use my car became a journey of 1.5 hours plus the red hot pokers!! :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; Got home cold, miserable and in pain, took two paracetemols, straight to bed and slept like a baby.
Stil very sore but the district nurse comes and changes the dressing each day and the fact that she's young enough to be my daughter is a bit embarrassing to say the least. Still I'm glad it's finally been removed, oh and by the way, I'm dammed if I use that hospital mini bus again, on monday I go there in my car sore butt or no sore butt. :sir ken;

If it's not one thing it's another. Even minor surgeries can be majorly annoying. Heal fast and forget the minibus.
-
Hoping for a fast recovery, take care Ken.
-
Hope you are on the mend. Heal fast.
:cheer:
-
Bonne guérisson! (as your cousins across the Channel would say) I wish you all the best. My caring and sympathetic thoughts are with you.
By the way, does this mean your avatar is particularly realistic?
-
Ken, you'll do anything to bring attention back to your derriere! :sir ken; :rofl;
I am glad you made it through the surgery and hope the healing is quick. Take care! :cuddle;
-
It's never minor if it's happening to you, no matter how the docs act about it. . . Hope your bum is better soon!
-
Ken, your predicament brought tears to my eyes (of laughter, naturally!!). Bottoms up, old boy!
-
I wish you a speedy recovery.
-
If your surgery had been elsewhere on your
corpse body it wouldn't have been funny.
A boil on the bum IS funny. You just have to laugh! Sorry... :rofl;
-
I hope things have settled down for you now.
You don't need anymore pain in th A__!
-
Because it is you and not me, it is funny!!!! But, I do feel sorry for you. Hope it heals really quickly.
-
:-* The picture of you doing handstands in the shower put a smile on my dial!
I hope your :sir ken; heals quickly. :cuddle;
P.s Now you know how it feels after giving birth!
-
Ken that sounds so painful, I bet you've have heard this before "what a pain in the arse you are" Hope things improve quickly for you. PS it made me laugh.
-
It seems to be healing up Ok. Yes it is funny. I couldn't post anything too serious about something like that. They all took the piss out of me at D when I walked in like John Wayne with emeroids.
I have to have at least 4 weeks off work because the district nurse had to dress the wounds each day with a special dressing. She's already young enough to be my daughter but today she brought a student nurse young enough to be my grand daughter! I said to here ''You'll be considering your carreer options after you've seen this!'' :rofl;
-
I am at an age when all the doctors and nurses seem like someones little brother or little sister.
Hope that everything comes out o.k., now.
-
hope all goes well Ken, my F-in-law keeps a clean bottle in the loo to wash himself with (isn't it amazing the things we can discuss here rofl:)
-
Jennyc — I can't imagine what your FIL does with his clean bottle. It's mind-boggling.
Obviously you are not going to describe his activity, but could you give us a clue? How big is the bottle?
???
-
Its a 2lt milk bottle that he washes,fills and uses in place of a bidet (rather than doing handstands in the shower).

You had to ask, Stoday.
