Back op

[atree]

Went well still not able to get out of bed yet my custom body brace comes today then they will try to get me up.

In bed with my laptop with a morphine pump on my arm, 2 drains in my back and big tube down my nob (not looking forward to that coming out) and various other things.

Not in much pain at the mo but when they get me up its going to hurt i've been told.

They gave me about 20 pills yesterday so i'm well spaced out feels good though.

 

I'll post some pics of me getting the plaster cast for the brace done later.

 

I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

 

Cheers

 

Justin

That looks proper gnarly!

Are those fencing staples they have used to stitch the wound?

 

Talk about NHS underfunding!

[Jonesie]

Went private thats why they are stright, they are big staples they got to pull them out in a week or so!

[tommer9]

I find it funny no matter how much pain were in, or how druged up on pain killers we are , we all have to get out are cameras out and take pics. It's the first thing i thought about when i had my dressing changed.

I had to get a photo taken as i can't see it myself, so thought i would share it with you guys aswell.

Just ordered some PPE Justin.

Be interesting to see if the team is oiled and as shipshape, as when you're at the Helm

 

 

 

I'm sure it will be

 

The wonder of modern telecommunication .

They are coping ok at the moment so they say.

 

I'm back home now with a bucket of pills and a staple remover. All looking good.
