Just been seen by the anethatist and there going to use what seems to be the standard general Plus a spinal. As long as I'm totally out of it I don't care.

[Dannywayoflife]

Back on ward now. Op took Mr Treacy 25 mins. Still got spinal block on. I believe I've got a 60mm cup and 54mm cap. But will check this with the man.

[hernanu]

Excellent, Danny! Welcome to the other side, how do you feel?

[Dannywayoflife]

Spinal now worn off. I feel fine no pain what so ever. Just taking some morphine just to try and get some sleep but zero pain.
Hoping to see one of the team later to ask some questions.

[ScubaDuck]

Wow, 25 minutes!  Was that from the time you were knocked out to the time you got out of recovery to your room?  I think mine was about 90 minutes and the doctor said everything went perfectly.

Welcome to the other side, Danny.  Your recovery and new life begin now.

Best wishes.

Dan

[Dannywayoflife]

Dan no it was 25 mins from knife to close and 2hrs 30 mins till i left recovery.

YOU are awesome!!  Mine took an hour and a half from spinal to final.  Most of that was using retractors to move my gluteous flabimus out of the way, I'm sure!  Remember, while its fun, its NOT ok to grab the nurses where ever you want!  Curt

[Dannywayoflife]

Well my mood has just changed some what! For what ever reason I wasn't fitted with a drain I'm now having a f###ing massive hemorage!
Just great!

[hernanu]

Keep us posted, Danny. I had a drain for the first hip, are they planning on one for you now?

[Dannywayoflife]

Don't know mate they've redressed my wound and are just observing me but the doc reckoned I've lost about a litre of blood. That carnt be normal! Gone from being happy to absolutely crapping my self! Will be just my luck!

[hernanu]

I'm sure they've dealt with this before, Danny. Let them take care of it, keep your spirits up, buddy, sounds like a bump in the road.

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks hern, I've just got so so much riding on this! I don't know what I'd do if this fails!
