Surgery completed on Thursday 17th, the primary tumour in my Bowel was removed with no complications. The surgeon was happy with how it all went.

I had 4 nights in hospital … well Grace Hospital so it was more hotel that hospital. Got home at lunchtime today to continue recovery.

Pain was pretty intense on day 1 so it got smashed with what seemed like every pain killer in the cupboard. Once we got on top of it, it has been managed with lower level oral meds.

I am waiting for the bowel to settle down so I can get back to a normal diet. Just need to take it slow and steady (not something I am very good at) so not to block anything up.

All the medical professionals were also happy with post op recovery to date. Hoping that once everything settles down I’ll have fewer complications.
