In my last post I said that I’m glad that my health problems are over because they tend to be all consuming. Well, even though keyhole surgery is not very invasive, it is still surgery and takes its toll.
I have to take paracetamol every six hours, which means that part way through the night it wears off and I wake up, although increasingly, this is due to back pain from having to sleep in a fixed position. Maybe I can work on an ideal arrangement of pillows or something, but I suspect this won’t be resolved until I can sleep on my side again.
Sitting and standing is a lot easier now. I can now sit on the sofa and get up without help – huge bonus 
Food-wise, I can definitely eat things that would previously have knocked me out. It’s a huge relief to be able to eat without fear. However, I’m getting bloated quite easily and will need to check up with the doctor next week about that, but otherwise, feeling much better.
The plan now is to continue to take it easy, go back for a post-op visit with my surgeon on Tuesday and take off the dressings on Friday (stitches should have dissolved).
With any luck I should be able to go back to work by Friday too
