29th October 2015<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Post surgery in the resusitation room, I recall it to be just after 6:00pm Therefore I can assume the operation took about 4 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have read any more of my website, you will kmow that I had a titanium rod in my right leg, fusing the knee straight, I believe a large portion of the surgery time was removing this.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have also been made aware that the surgery was quite spectacular! (maybe an early fireworks display).<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially the two surgeons decided to cut all around the femur bone and use the bottom half of my leg to pull the metal rod out. This method didn\u2019t work. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was then decided to use a diamond tipped cutting disk to get through the titanium rod. \u00a0This generated a lot of sparks!<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in my hospital room, I was put on Oxygen to ensure my SPO2 settings remained good. Without this Oxygen, my stats were dropping.<\/span><\/p>\n

After some more rest and sleeping, I woke up about 8:00pm and felt OK.<\/span><\/p>\n

I managed to have some food and water and felt better.<\/span><\/p>\n

By this stage, I had still not been able to go to the toilet, I drank loads of water but nothing happened. In the middle of the night, it was decided to do a bladder scan and found that the bladder fluid volume went off the top of the scale. There was more than a litre in there.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was decided to insert a catheter which became very difficult due to the fullness of the bladder. Finally it went in and 1\u00bd litres was drained. \u00a0I almost instantly felt even better.<\/span><\/p>\n

My leg is bandaged up so I cant see the handy work yet. Hopefully see it tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was also put on a drip, to help replace the 800ml of blood lost during the operation.<\/span><\/p>\n
