Operation now done!

[Patrick66]

I would like to thank everyone who, during the last few months, posted advice and support in such a positive and friendly manner. Much appreciated.

Having read 5.2 - 5.4 over much of recent times I was a mite suspicious of the hospital machine reading 7.2 BG which then, very rapidly, became 6.4 and then 5.6 (that’s more like it) although, given the fact I was operating on zero sleep and a surfeit of stress, who knows ? Lol.

I can confirm it is/was a painful experience and I’ve spent half the night wandering between the bathroom and the bedroom trying to get comfortable!.

But now it’s done so, to any who read my previous ramblings, or contributed, thanks again!

Haha. Yes, my favourite was the Diabetic Sweets thread.

I hope the recovery goes well.

Awesome news Patrick, when I was in for an op a couple of years ago, I was running at 8 fasting (in denial at the time) and they were happy with that and fed me white toast with marmalade! Hope hospital food has improved a bit for diabetics now.

Here's to your speedy recovery!

So do I. I’m normally quick out the blocks in recovery but 24 hours later I certainly feel rather the worse for wear.

I had half a very dry bacon and chicken sandwich. That was it. And that was in a private hospital.
They offered me ice cream as I had a very sore throat but I just wasn’t in the mood for anything at the time.

Good stuff, must be good to put that behind you. Hope you get back up and running smoothly, back to do back flips and high board diving and bungee jumping on the weekend. Good luck.

Hi Patrick great the op is done and hope your recovery goes well. You managed your bg really well IMO.

I see you weren’t slumming it then?

I had my op in a private hospital, courtesy of my then employer. It was a bit more salubrious than my previous experience in an NHS ward. But I wasn’t in long enough to appreciate the luxurious extras.

It was at that time that the surgeon prophetically told my then wife that I might be diabetic in the future.

Very pleased to hear it's been done! Onward and upward!

Speedy recovery @Patrick66 - your over the bump in the road now, hopefully now the worry and stress of the op are out of the way you can begin to enjoy your life a bit more now, onwards and upwards

@Patrick66 , after a couple of false starts with your op, I'm really pleased it's all done and dusted now.

My OH had a hernia repair done a couple of years ago, and was quite significantly uncomfortable for a few days afterwards. Some of the was the op itself and some the gas used to inflate the tum, to facilitate the almost-keyhole sugery. Obviously the latter passed (sorry, sorry!) quite quickly, and the former just dwindled away in its own sweet way.

I hope now that bit of stress is out of the way for you, it'll clear a corner of your heaspace to concetrate on more pleasant things.

Stick around Patrick.
