All went ok with the surgery but it took 5 hours due to putting a stent in uretha and cutting away lots of adhesions but my surgeon winkled it out. But also spent 2 hours unsticking my small bowel which had stuck itself to pelvic wall on other side. And so it goes on now my bowel has rebelled and shut down got a ng tube stuck up my nose and feeling a bit jaded. Was hoping to post an upbeat update bit not quite there yet.

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Sending best wishes

What a bruising and battering experience (and painstaking). Not surprising you're not singing and dancing yet. I think there's nothing worse than tubes up noses. Bowels don't like being fiddled with and do tend to rebel. I had an incarcerated hernia in August and it took ages to get back to something resembling normality. But chemo probably played a part in that too. Hoping you'll have had a comfortable night and will slowly feel more like yourself. All the best Chris xxxx

Dear AnnieM Good on you for posting even though you don't feel the best at the moment. You certainly need a lot of TLC and sympathy from us. It does sound as though your surgical team are on the ball and you're having great care - just a bummer to have so much discomfort and the tube up your nose.

Keep posting and we'll do our best to keep you cheerful. Hopefully not too long and you will be nice and comfy at home.

Loads of love xxx Annie
