How's your recovery going Stustod?
Hope you're nearly mended or better still, mended.
One of the things you didn't blog was the constipation - be warned anyone, the last thing you want is problems passing anything but it's a side effect of the Ibuprofen you dose up on. I won't dwell too much on this but on the fifth day I passed something with the density of a canonball. Horror and relief in equal measure.
Don't know what advice I could give to avoid this; my diet was all the sensible stuff and I came off the painkillers (Ibuprofen and Paracetemol as directed) as quickly as I could - looks like it's just a right of passage! I did read that you could start on the milk of magnesia straight after the op but I don't think that's from a medical source.
I'm in my third week of recovering and its tough not to overdo it although plenty of movement is encouraged. I still have a niggling ache at the incision site which comes and goes.
Tip; buy a long handled shower brush, now don't know why I haven't all my life.

Maybe see you in a fell race sometime this year Stustod, and we can compare scars - all being well.
