thanks guys, i appreciate the comments, i've been up and around the house a bit, managed to have some toast, my pills and a shower so i feel a bit better, hopefully each day will progress like this, gradual improvements
Oh my goodness. Jon really sorry to hear this, but glad you're on the road to recovery now. There are some wonderful staff at SGH although it's a hell of a place to stay.
I was hoping for a positive update as I knew you said you’d be going in for the op. Good to hear that you’re home and feeling a bit better as the days go on. Take care of yourself.
Yo Jon! I popped by the Shop yesterday to see what was up
Your experience of major abdominal surgery, and indeed Southampton General Hospital mirrors mine exactly. The staff are remarkable, but no one can tell you how debilitated you are for the first few days!! Seriously, take it easy for a few weeks, and I mean real easy. Last time I was back to work after two weeks, for 3 days before I ruptured an internal suture and had to go back off sick for even longer. (I had my large intestine whipped out when I was 17, and have been opened up due to it a few other times).
