Like Mambo number 5 but with more general anaesthetic! So if you follow me on Facebook, twitter and instagram, you may have seen that I have been under the knife again. I have had two hernias develop since my last op in January and I was on the waiting list to get them fixed by […]
I had my hernia surgery two weeks ago and realised that I hadn’t posted an update here (though I have been on facebook and twitter). I have had a super busy week working with the amazing arts group Responsible Fishing and so have just not had a minute! So to the hernia surgery! Our fab friends […]
So the big day is tomorrow! I am in at 7am for surgery on my incisional hernia with an overnight stay. I started 2015 with two wishes, I didn’t want to have an operation or move house this year. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be… My hernia is very small and usually quite flat but when […]

I got a call today from my consultants secretary saying that the preliminary date of the 30th April is being postponed. Mr Brown wants to see me to discuss some matters before the surgery and so everything is on hold right now and I’m not sure why. I asked if it were anything to do […]
I had my pre op appointment at the hospital this morning, I was nervous about what they would do but it was a really simple process of a few different health checks. I had bloods taken, they are doing FBC, checking markers etc but also need to do a check on blood type as apparently […]
I am struggling to write this post. I just don’t seem to be able to find the words, which is an odd feeling for a loud mouth like me. I am due to have my pouch surgery in the next 5 weeks though I don’t have a date yet, and Im terrified. I was scared […]
