In & out in no time at all.

In the building at 07:30.
Down to theatre at 08:45
Open mesh repair of para-umbilical hernia completed, a short spell in “recovery “ and back in my room by 10:00!

Made my escape by 13:40.

Just a 4-6 week recovery period now.
No driving for a week or so.
Local blips only for a bit.
