Hi folks, it's Colin! back to blog with only 2 days interruption (would have only been one if I was allowed a phone in ICU!) - thanks to Vanda for stepping in and keeping everyone updated.
As you have hopefully gathered I am doing very well, with good recovery so far and very little pain. I have been out of bed today, standing up and sitting in a chair for several hours. Physios, surgeons, ICU staff and anaesthatist are all very happy with my progress, as am I. Surgery went very well and I can't believe my wounds are exposed and not heavily dressed.
I am being hydrated via IV and fed something called "Jevity" through a tube into my intestine - so far have not experienced any hunger.
I have just moved to an interim ward today, but will be back at the York Suite tomorrow hopefully. surgeon wanted me to go straight there today as I was doing so well, but unfortunately some beurocracy got in the way. Never mind!
I will be up for visitors as soon as I make it to the York Suite. please drop me an email or a text if you want to come in so I can make sure there are no clashes.
On that note, I have unfortunately had to turn on monitoring of comments on this blog - I am not one for censorship, but there have been a couple of inappropriate comments posted, not related to the subject of the blog at all, and designed to cause upset - unbelieveable that someone would choose such a medium to assert their own mistaken agenda. hopefully the relevant posts have been removed before causing any widespread harm, but unfortunately this means that I now have to moderate all comments and this might mean a delay.
I will hopefully be able to post some more stuff tomorrow, but I hink it's time for a couple of Morphine shots (for the pain of course! ;)
Cheers, and glad to be back on this side of the anaestetic!
Col xx
