Hand op update

So visited the hospital which was like the old fashioned cottage hospitals we used to have, no one in the wating room except me the receptionist and a very ni e trainee nurse and i was in the ops room within 15 minutes and lying on a table having the op done.

All done and dusted within 60 minutes and never felt much pain and i watched the whole op, i am not squeemish to watching and find it very interesting and my hand was worst than they first thought so had 15 stitches all told, they cut from half way up a finger all the way down just pass the middle of my palm.

The only real discomfort i had was the torniquet at the top of my arm which was very tight, could not have gone better and sat me down with a cup of tea for 20 minutes and then the nurse walked me to the car park to wher my brother had been waiting, NHS at it's best and treated like a private paying patient and tday have booked dates for a dressing change and stiches removal date.

Re: Hand op update

Nice One Jack. Glad it all went smoothly. Just remember to let it heal properly and dont try doing what you should not do! Frustrating I know, but time will pass quickly enough. Oh and nice typing on the post considering you are one handed! [Big grin.png]
See you all in a couple of weeks people. I am off eating Cornish Pasties and Cream Teas, and drinking Rattler! [Big grin.png] [Big grin.png]
