I suppose this is a post to tell you all that I survived the surgery and the double hernia is sorted!
The staff, their skill, and comfort were second to none. Well done Vale of Leven, and I can't understand why such a magnificent local hospital providing local health care is being dismantled bit by bit, and most of us have to travel to Paisley for treatment! I confess to going 'private' once or twice on the back of the RW's BUPA provided by her employer, and the VoL were every bit as good as them!
Yes, it's every bit as painful as I was warned it might be, but the bleeding from the wound has been a bit alarming. Bed this morning was akin to a mini abattoir, but the Practice Nurse was out within the hour to sort out wounds and dressings. Magnificent response! The RW now has a bit of washing to do!

PS the RW is proving to be an excellent nurse!
Its only a couple of days so don't worry too much about the bleeding. And remember a wee drop of blood goes a long long long long way so it probably isn't as much as it looks.
So glad to hear all has gone well, but do take good care of yourself, Kenny, and don't push yourself too hard too soon. Enjoy all the care you are obviously receiving from your excellent nurses -both 'domiciliary' and 'Practice alike. You will continue in prayers across the Diocese.
Agreed, take it easy.
Sometimes it can seem scary to be in your normal surroundings when you've been operated on - you feel abandoned to whatever might go wrong. But it's amazing how quickly you get used to the new situation. And this fabby weather is worth getting out to laze in ...
