Finally Going In For My Operation After A 23 Month Wait!

Neil1 · 10th October 2019, 14:47

Originally it was booked for April 9th but was sent home after 3.5hrs due to no beds.

Then I had the date extended to Friday the 13th September except I had a belter of a cold and couldn't go in, so I was given a new date 8th October.

Unfortunately I received a phone call from Torbay Hospital Admissions on the 4th October saying that was no good so it was rebooked for the 11 October at 7.30am.

I will be leaving home via taxi at 6.30am.

Will be in for a few days no doubt, at least the food isn't bad but you don't get much sleep.

Then when they finally let me out depending on what type of surgery I have had will determine the length of time that I am not allowed to drive for.
Hopefully it will be keyhole surgery which is a much shorter recovery time, if it's major surgery then it's 3 months of no driving and 9 months recovery for me.

Good luck Neil, let’s hope it’s key hole and you’ll be back on your feet sooner rather than later.

So do I Bob.

I don't want this operation really but because I have been suffering with gallstones the gallbladder has to come out.

Every show that I put my name down for this year it has wrecked, plus a few others with another club I'm a member of.

I haven't been able to do one single show!

Good luck Neil.

It put me in hospital in 2017 because l had jaundice because a stone got stuck in the bile duct. Long wait, but l am so looking forward to eating normal foods such as pasties, Chinese, pizza and cheese. Haven't been able to have these.

Got to the hospital early this morning and it wasn't open, main doors don't open until 7am.
So l had to enter via the Emergency entrance.
I had to be on the Admissions ward by 7.30am.
After seeing the nurse, the anaesthetist and my surgeon l am now ready, will be going into surgery at about 10.30am, fingers crossed.
