Last Tuesday I had my first Laparoscopic surgical procedure to repair bilateral inguinal hernias X 2.
Not only that but it was in a new surgical centre only 9 min from home that had only opened the day before. What an amazing experience. When they rolled me into the theatre it was like entering the science wing of a spaceship. My final thought as I lost consciousness was, it's just like a new car. You know, when everything is new and shiny, not because it's been thoroughly cleaned but because it's never been dirty. I was one of only two patients staying over night in a 30 bed ward so I got heaps of attention. The surgeon rang my wife personally after the op to tell her I was fine and all had gone well. The care was wonderful, the bed was comfortable even the food was okay and everything just worked. Obviously I'm home now and yes, there is some pain and discomfort plus bruising in some places I'm happy to say I've never been bruised before but they gave me plenty of pain killers on d/c so I've just got to "cope" with 3-4 days of bed rest.
So, I've updated my MBP (thanks Jake) and my iPhone, iPad an Watch as suggested and spending some pleasant time reading an writing on forums using my (new to me) iPhone 13 Pro Max.
