Hi nice people and now it really is over, thank goodness!
Well, I'm home again. To be honest, it wasn't too traumatic. Walked down to theatre and laid down on the couch and the anesthetist said that I would get some oxygen and then a big injection to put me to sleep. Took a few deep breaths and went out like a light. Funny oxygen, lol. Next thing I knew I was in recovery in some sort of "dreamworld". I vaguely remember some of the trip up to the ward and then not much after that till they woke me for blood pressure etc.
Had a bit of local pain around the "funny bits". Got about two hours sleep that night; one heavy snorer, one heavy breather and one guy who was having a loud conversation with someone all bloody night, lol.
Had an "accident" last night in bed but once I'd got the bags in the right place, all was fine. Dreamt that I'd stolen a helicopter!!
A bit "leaky" at times and some blood in my urine from getting up and sitting down again when any pressure is put on the catheter, but ok if I don't move around too much. Apparently it's called bladder spasm as the bladder doesn't take too kindly to having a plastic tube stuck into it.
Luckily I have one of those reclining sofas so I can adjust it a bit like the hospital bed for the best position. My daughter has come down for a few days to be a "nurse" with the missus, lol.
Not in any pain at all at the moment.
If anyone waiting for the op needs some first hand experience of the op, then please contact me; I'll be more than happy to share.
Thank you ALL very much for your support; it made the time leading up to the op much easier for me.
I wonder if I can get some sexy 23 year old blonde "bimbo" to help me test out my ED in the weeks to come?? Just kidding, Lol.
Take care my friends and I will keep posting.
