The Surgery

Surgery started at about 2:00 PM on 26th May and was over about 5:00 PM.  Once in the Surgical Recovery Unit after surgery I vaguely recall Saxon Connor telling me that it had all gone well, and that he took out 2 objects.  One was the identified lesion, the other was a small object found during direct hand ultra-scanning of my liver during surgery.  Most likely the small object was a fatty deposit but would be identified during pathology of both objects.

Teresa came in to see me in the evening following surgery, but I have little recollection of that.

I stayed in the surgical recovery unit, a small 6 bed unit part way between a normal ward and an intensive care unit, until 2:00 PM on 27th May.  What really surprised me was that I had no pain, I felt quite good and could move around easily.

Prior to surgery I was given various expectations as to the length of my stay in hospital,generally there were between four to six days.
