Hello one and all... I am back finally....
The operation, well it went.... Nursing staff were great.. I woke up in recovery with a bloke called Shamus (Excuse the spelling) standing over me with a huge black eye... I jokingly asked, what hit you? He responded, you did... Apparently, I awoke earlier in some pain and whilst he was trying to give me drugs (I like him already) I punched him half way across the floor... (Sorry Shamus if your reading this) it then took 8 nurses to restrain me to the bed whilst I screamed and generally acted an idiot... Thankfully I don't remember any of that.
I was in a lot of pain (especially for a procedure I was told wouldn't hurt!!!) and ended up on 30mg of morphine every hour... which was fun for a couple of days. After finally seeing the surgeon who promised everything was fine, and could only attribute the pain to the amount of muscle tissue they had to cut through (apparently I have about 3x the normal amount of muscle) and a few days bed rest I was up and out. 2 weeks bed rest I was told... so I moved house 3 days later, decorated the new flat, went travelling round the UK... and generally done everything I was told not too... well except training... and that is beginning to do my head in as well. So I am now at the end of my time off andf still in some considerable discomfort, tho thankfully no where near as bad as it has been.
Today is my first day back at work and I am looking forward to actually doing something, rather than sitting around whilst everyone says are you OK? I have put some weight on and now I can actually move and don't feel too bad, I am going to start on the diet again.. I am up to a whopping 307lbs... so not good... I want to get down to 230ish... in an ideal world but have to be at 252 by February for a fight. Its going to be tough until mid December when I can start training again but better to start now than leave it till then.
Lets see... other than that... hello to all... stay safe in this world and take care.
