OP went OK - was far better than I expected in terms of it was the first OP I've ever had.
I think the surgeon must have opened up and climbed in judging by the bruises.
It was a polyp that was removed, about 2-3 inches long from what I remember of the conversation in the recovery room though no idea if it was just one or more. I've got a fair bit of stitching up there as a result. It's off for a biopsy and I've a follow up consultation in a couple of weeks so I'll get the details then, unfortunately I don't think I'll get it back to keep (there was talk of sending it to Pritti Patel as a gift! LOL) .
Recovery going OK but not back on the bike yet, before the OP the Consultant said I should be able to ride after the weekend but on discharge I was getting a telling off from the staff nurse for even considering it.
I was due to ride on a course tomorrow but I've just cancelled to give the internals more time to heal!
It does feel like I am on the mend though and in a better position that I was pre-OP with everything down there, just needs time to heal now..
