As the morning started to come around the nurses were doing their final rounds with everyone, even getting everyone drugs ready for them to take.... My drugs were put in a paper cup.
As the shift changed over a new set of faces appeared and I we was all great ed with a smile and asked what do you want for breakfast! {Black pudding I was hopping for} but I ended up with ready brek warm milk and 1 white toast and a cup of black coffee.
I had visits from a member of my surgeon team, he said the operation went to plan {He was not involved it it but was aware of the procedure I had}. I did feel good in my self but I also felt as if I had been hit by the moon in my stomach. More drugs to ease the pain... Throughout my stay I never used the automatic morphine dispenser.... The odd time I had some pain relief from like a hypodermic needle {without the needle} squirted into my mouth. This worked a treat for a while.
Ward 109 had 6 men in it and we soon began to chat to each other.
{what I forgot to say and this was my only moan about my stay was not too long after my op and I was on the ward a porter walked in looked at me and threw my belonging in a chair saying 'These are yours' then walked off. I remember him having a very big beer belly and walked in and out with one hand in his pocket. {my pet hate is people walking with their hands in their pockets}.
