“THIS WON’T HURT, HONEST…” ARRGGGHH!
“This won’t hurt, honest…” ARRGGGHH!
I hate doctors. They’re liars. When I asked about the surgical machine on my sac and whether it would hurt afterwards, they flashed me glazed smiles and said “no, just a little discomfort maybe.”
“A little discomfort” turned discover to be three days of feeling like my lower abdomen had been driven over at speed by an 18-wheeler, then stamped on by entire stadium full of disorder nation soccer fans.
Mind you there were mitigating circumstances. Most sac surgery is done in a non-invasive fashion, i.e. with everything required inserted up your wee-hole as against via an incision. In my housing the little CCTV cameras they use so they crapper wager what they’re doing didn’t work. One, two, three and four every failed.
Mercifully sort 5 produced a good represent but by this time nearly an hour had elapsed on a machine that shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. Hence a lot more bruising, bashing, bowing and tweaking than Mike Tyson’s face conventional during his entire enclosing career.
I had chosen a spinal (epidural) drug which was great in digit way, as I didn’t get the hangover related with a GA. But it meant I was wide awaken to hear every the four-letter text and curses used by the surgeons when the succession of camera gizmos evidenced useless. I learned a few newborn ones, too; the head surgeon was individual and the sort 2 was from the East Indian sub-continent, so I crapper today swear fluently in at least digit African and digit Asiatic language.
And when my lowermost half regained consciousness, oh, whoops. Did that ever hurt.
Anyway on to funnier things and click here for an anecdote about sac cancer treatment that had me actuation around laughing. It’s from fellow Cancer Blogger David Ferdinando and his My Bladder Cancer Journey - take a look at that blog, it’s excellent and very informative about this increasingly ordinary disease.
Only four weeks to go today and I start my immunotherapy treatments. The doctors feature they don’t hurt, either … yes, right…
