Only just found this thread - very glad all went well @ScotiaLass, despite the 'challenge' for the surgeon!
Looking forward to going out on the bike with you again, once you've recovered properly

Glad all is ok, you'll be back on the bike in no time. I hate hospitals........Starbucks in the Larbert one is ok though

Thanks all.
I was in Larbert @Garry A. My room overlooked the main outpatients entrance, alas no Starbucks for me. I have to go back tomorrow to have the drain removed...not looking forward to that, it's bloody painful!
I had a rough night and ended up sleeping on the recliner, taking painkillers and watching cr*p tv, in-between napping.
Arabella's new front basket arrived in my absence, I can't wait to get back out but I don't think it will be as fast as I thought!
Onwards and upwards though!

Had one of these drains in when I got my appendix out in 95 (non keyhole). Hated it but was fascinating seeing it come out, like a bayonet being removed
Cant beat a new bike accessory to give you motivation to get back on the saddle

Drain now out. It was a bit better than I remember as it was a shorter tube - it still hurt though!
I have a nice hole where the drain was (no, I'm not posting a picture!) and its currently dressed, as still leaking a bit.
No cycling for me for 2 weeks, then I can see how I feel and take it easy - with the warning to stay away from anywhere that I may fall off the bike.....spoil my fun Mr Surgeon, why don't you!
Managed to eat half a yoghurt today - my first food since last Sunday. Who knew a peach activia yoghurt could taste so good!

The advice I was given was not to drive for a couple of weeks after I had my gallbladder out due to stitches/staples - so I used my motorbike instead!
Take it easy
