Well 3 and a bit hard days work in the cold
just got back from allmost 3 hours work ( its just gone 9.00 and its just dropped to Minus 1 ) , that was my last job, i put down loads of salt so it should be ok
now for my Hernia Op tomorrow and then 4 weeks off ( they have said if i dont have 4 weeks off and it tears again it will be the big op and then 3 months off work :(
i doubt i will be on here for a few days, as i guess i will be in pain and wont fancy reading coco the clowns posts ( i might pop on tomorrow for a while as i need to do some banking )
see you soon

Good luck Matt, probably best you don't come back on here too soon 'cos you'll pop your stitches every time you laugh. Of course we can all talk about you whilst your gone. :)
-
Feel for you matt. Had Hernia op back in october 08.

-
Good luck with the op mate, hope it goes well
-
Don't worry about us. We'll be fine while you are away! ;D
Good luck for tomorrow!
-
Best of luck Matt.
maybe you should start thinking about supervising more and working less. I know, if it's that easy why don't i do it, but just a suggestion.
-
Did you know Matt, only professional window-cleaners have hernias ;D
-
If you'd bought professional equipment in the first place you wouldn't have given yourself a hernia would you? Some windowcleaners just don't understand. I have surpassed all the cleaners in my county and i don't have a hernia.
Probably the weight of your wallet that did it! ;D
-
cheers all
-
Matt, are you going to do a diy hernia op site after ;D
-
I hope for your sake Matt the surgeon is a "professional"!
Picture this-
There you are, laid out on the slab. Eyes just open but your about to go under any second. Everything is ready to go, just waiting for the surgeon to come in. The door swings open, here he is- It's EWAN!!! with an old leather tool belt on, stanley knife in one hand & a pair of old rusty pliers in the other!!!!!!! ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ;D
Good luck mate ;)

hi matt when i had my op ,the nurse said
ime going to give you a
PORNO SHAVE ;D
really was as well
-
Why cant they just use pure surgical spirit - its faster,even if it kills you .
-
good luck matt, hope all goes well
-
Where do you have a hernia Matt,what you said about the taking it easy afterwards was spot on aswell i know a bloke that had it done and went back to work 4-5 days later and tore it open again.He had a fruit and veg shop and in under a week was lifting crates about,hope all goes well for you.
-
I shaved myself before going in, had three different nurses come and check I had done it right. I felt quite proud.
Good luck mate, you will probably ache for a week or two, be nice to get rid of that big lump though. Dai

cheers guys
i had a phone call on friday morning, can you come in early, yes sure, then they asked when was the last time i ate
well they said i couldnt eat after 8.00 for 12.30 afternoon sessions, so i ate at 10 to 8, thus they could do the op before 1.00, but asked me to get down early anyways, as i would be first, turned out that my hernia was the biggest op of the day, so they wanted more recovery time for me, they were right, the whole of the day surgery was empty by the time i left at 7.00, i was the last around, i had my own room though, all in all i was very impressed with the hospital ( though i did choose it, i turned down the 2 who were more local to me )
it all went well, it was keyhole they made 3 small cuts around the belly buttom, even though the hernia was right at the bottom of my groin, came around and was in such pain, it really was the worse pain i have suffered, had a bit of mophine that helped,
i had the dressings changed today, it turns out that keyhole has the least cuts / cutting, BUT its the hardest on your body, my insides are in a right pain, still taking the max painkilers and its just taking the edge off it :(, they have to push all your insides around to work in the small space
i tell you what, ive never felt pain like this, i clean the windows for a retired RAF bloke, he was sent over to orlando to do a "work placement " with NASA in the 70's, he did the space program at Canaveral, he also test flew flighters for the UK RAF and the USA airforce, he said and i qoute " i had my hernia done a few years back, i know pain and it was painfull " i didnt expect it this bad though
cheers guys

There is one thing with keyhole, you will heal a lot faster, I had mine done years ago and it was one hell of a slash, they put some kind of mesh inside that your tissue can grow through, it makes it a lot stronger than it was originally. Take it easy mate, it will all be worth it in the end.
-
Well done Matt, how long do you reckon you'll be off work? Can't see you humping those full containers about before the weekend. :-\
-
Get well soon dude
-
thats how i had mine done,and for some unknown reason my balls went black and then peeled
And the prize for too much information goes to ........ Stan The Man :).
-
Just read this.
Hope you will be feeling better soon.
Can you hear the windows beckoning in your sleep!
-
Yes, I missed this thread too.
All the best Matt. :)
-
Glad it all went well. Hope nothing goes black for you! ;D

Nothing of course, its not a nice thing that Matt has to go through and he needs the 4 weeks to recover in which is my point. If I was to just take 4 weeks off just because I feel like it then I would always feel quilty that I'm not working when I could be. But if you've had an opp and need to recover then there is nothing that you can do but rest for that amount of time.
-
thanks guys for the posts ;)
well 1 week on ( this time last week i was being prep'ed for the op )
im not sure 4 weeks will be enough, im still in a rather large amount of pain :(
ive just been to have the dressings changed and the nurse said " ive known people who have been off for 10 weeks PLUS " :o :o :o on the plus side, 2 of the cuts have healed the last is still open and bleeding, she said she was concerned about it as 1 week is too long
-
Good Luck Matt, go in for my eye op next friday....bricking it TBH!!!
-
Once it starts healing properly you'll be surprised how quick it improves. Keep taking the pills ;D
I had a haemorrhoid operation about 15 years ago - my doctor told me I could go in on the Friday and have the opration Friday evening, take the Saturday, Sunday and Monday off to recover and be back at work on the Tuesday.
I believed him.
I went back to work on the Tuesday.
HAH >:( :o :o
I couldn't even get my foot up on to the first rung of the ladder.
Took me three weeks to get back to anything like normal
-
ROFL LOL! Ian!
youve got me almost peein myself here, just trying to picture it!!!

i had hernia op back in october last year and op't out of the key hole surgery and was sliced 3 inch's on my groin to repair it. Sooooooooooooo painful had 8 weeks off as i worked in a quarry so a NO, NO to heavy lifting. 3 weeks after op fell up stairs and split stitches. (Ouch). While i was off had a great idea to become a W/C so with all my spare time i set up my window cleaning company.
Hurray for hernia's
