After I got in and Sam had his excitement of greeting me with a pair of slippers! I got on the settee and I was so cold Caz got me a cover I slept solidly till 10pm ish... We went to bed not long after that.. Still worn out from the operation and from not sleeping in the ward.... I thought right I will sleep tonight in my own bed😴😴😴 how wrong would I be, I slept till about 2am the wide awake till 5am slept till 7am then awake again😲😳😳😬😲 this was my sleep pattern till I went the doctor and I was given some tables to help me sleep {Boy O boy they work great}.
Sleep before them was as i have said was pretty well crap because I was still aching and the bloody drain sticking in my ass!
The drain was stuck to my ass via a tube, so every were i went my bottle went the contents looked like the bloody Mary drink 😜😝.
The only way I can describe what the feeling of the tube in my ass was like, it is just like a long splinter of about 4 -6mm  diameter ad about 300 mm long!!!

Life with it was okay till on the Friday morning when i tripped over the bottle and it lost its vacuum...
We went to the hospital to get it changed, 3 hours later i came away with a new bottle but that too lost its vacuum, so no blood and yak was being drained, we ended up going back on the Monday for the drain to be removed or not..... yes 3 hours later drain still in as i was still leaking into the bottle, but that bottle was losing it vacuum, the fault was due to a plastic fitting that got split when i tripped over it.
So not to bore you with my drain issues.... it was finally removed after 17 days, when the Doctor removed it I felt it being bulled out there was a slight stinging feeling as it was pulled!
I have been asked what did the robotic surgery look like because i did get to see them before my operation, i cant find a photo of the ones in the Stoke hospital but this is the closest i can find on the world wide web is this image....
