Yeah, the pain was unbelievable, like nothing i've experienced before.
I'm home now, and watching The Budget news on BBC TWO to see what the Chancellor has done to the country. I have to say though, I couldn't have been treated faster even if I'd gone private. Went to A&E last night, was seen within 15 minutes, put on emergency list for operation today, turned up at 7.30am, was out of operating theater by 9.30am. Nurses and Doctors were brilliant, couldn't thank them enough. I don't think my awful Doctors surgery is going to manage the after-care the same way though.
I feel AMAZING. They've scraped out and left an open wound as deep as half a golf ball, that's packed with gauze. But I can walk with no pressure and without a limp for the first time in three weeks. When I woke up I didn't know where I was. Then they gave me IV Fentanyl, then some Tramadol, then codiene as nothing was easing the pain. Thank god that's over and done with! Now i've only got an open wound to deal with.
A friend I know in her management year of placement for nursing had to pack a guys back with gauze, and from the entry hole to her armpit she could reach. Puts me off my muesli.
