I was at the doctors today, exactly 2 weeks since I had my surgery to remove the troublesome gallbladder.
I had a couple of stitches poking out where the drain was but she reckons they are dissolvable and will disappear but she trimmed them for me.

I am not allowed back on the bike for another 4 weeks
She said it was only the surgeons' skill that stopped me having open surgery and that it had been a difficult operation, mentioning adhesions etc.
Anyway, a bit disappointing, but I also know how utterly drained I'm feeling at the moment.
After hubby took me to the docs (not allowed to drive yet either) we went to Iceland and Asda and then home and
I am shattered!
Someone pass me a muffin, or a hug or something....

Iceland? That's one hell of a detour!

Seriously, though: I hope it heals fast and your back on the bikes sooner.

I think a bath is a good idea. Epsom salts or sea salt + your favourite smellies candles incense a glass of vino and get a feel good movie lined up - I suggest "As it is in heaven" hot cocoa and into bed - sweet dreams it will all be better tomorrow.

Have a virtual hug from me and treat yourself to a nice after your soak, and take your time about getting better, don't rush it.

I wish you a speedy recovery, and some fabulous rides once you are well enough to cycle again!

Get well soon, 'tis a waiting game. Time for bike maintenance and getting accessories.

It's all been done lol
The fixing kit for the Dawes basket should be with me in the next couple of days so there's that to do.....I have also found a set of panniers for her, so she will be all ready for a shopping trip by the time I can ride again

How much did the gall bladder weigh? You'll be faster up hills.

They have been sitting on mine (so to speak) for almost 2 years. I don't drink (the occasional lager) and my diet has been very restricted.
I am still eating my usual diet and once back on the bike will try one 'new' food at a time so I can see what I can tolerate.
I was warned I may become Gluten intolerant - anything is better than the pain I've had for the last 2 years!

Yes, I've seen people suffering from that!
