Recovering from surgery SUCKS.

you all need to HTFU
ops yeah they are not fun.. i had one go wrong now i am blind in one eye i think i would rather all your pain all at once.... just to be able to see like a normal person.

you are all fortunate.

Yep agree with you about being fortunate.Everyones ideas are different re surgery.

I'd swap my scar no worries,mid stomach to pubic bone.But if I didn't have it I would be dead.Bowell cancer isn't much fun,especially when you have to cough and sneeze,then the nurses give you deep breathing exercises to stop pneumonia setting in,which can have the side effect of coughing.

Not nice but hey just keep positive,someone else is worse off.

*Try have your guts opened up from ribs to pubes

I can introduce you to a guy who had something similar with no anaesthetic.
An unfortunate incident involving mortars...

And I have a slight sense of unease about a possible knee operation?

Sorry mate but I've had an inguinal hernia repair (mesh repair) and its a walk in the park. You need to seriously harden up.

Try a ACL/medial ligament reconstruction using patella tendon grafts. That hurts a bit more.

Or a vasectomy. My vasectomy made my balls completely black and blue for two weeks and gave me a ball sack the size of a tennis ball... though I guess Paul's one might beat it. Sounds like the vasectomy from hell.

Sounds like you need a better doctor!

Yeah maybe. I dunno. Margaret Sparrow did my vasectomy. She's done thousands. Interestingly though, the same thing happened to my brother when he had his done and I found out in conversation with my mother a year or so later that the same thing had happened to my dad.

Typical fathers - I had no idea he'd even had one.

If mine was an unfortunate accident involving a chainsaw, would I win?

Fireball, I sympathise with you, but if you want to pull that card out I have dealings with people who have lost a lot more than just the sight in one eye due to medical misadventure. Try oxygen depletion under general anesthisa leading to severe brain damage- I know at least two of them. Or getting perscribed two medications that when used together cause massive damage to your internal organs turning the guy from a big, strong man into a near basket case in just one week.
