No, not the fabulous album by KLF.
I am back from the hospital where I had surgery removal of an hernia on my back.

Very very painful.

First time in my life I had total anaesthesia, really an acid trip

Now I have to assume diclofenac to contrast the pain. I cannot sleep, nor change position (from sitting to stand up, from stand up to bed, and so on). Obviously I need some help.
I hope in a couple of weeks I'll be better.

Thank you to those who wished me luck and to all of you, anyway I am back. Viva PSB

Andrea

I, too, welcome you back. I know it may not seem like it but you're through the worst. Hang in there - you need to be in good shape for the upcoming tour!

Told you that you'd be OK. The pain is temporary and I'm sure you'll be fit and well soon.

Hi Steve.
Sometimes I ask myself if I took the right decision.
I mean: you were obliged to face the hospital.
I "chosed" to have a surgery operation. I had pains on my back and legs several times, but I could carry on if I wanted. I decided that I could cut off the origin of my pains by removing the hernia, but in these days pains are more and more.
Only if in the next years I won't have any problems I will be able to say that my decision was right.
I will give my salary for playing a football match like I did years ago: running, tackling, crossing, scoring. Here I am: sitting, suffering and half depressed.
I am getting older, that's the real problem!

But I have to get better soon, since my agenda is full for june: Play-off of the football team of my city (Padova, Serie C/3rd series), Depeche Mode live in Milan (if Dave gets better), holidays.
Oh, I almost forgot: I must come back to work ASAP, my colleagues are facing many difficulties.

Thank you

Andrea

In my experience I have found often that I have come out of an operation and in the following days worried about the final result, or worried about how long recovery will take. It's difficult not to have such thoughts when you are struggling and in pain in the first few days after an operation. You will probably surprise yourself how quickly you heal and find the result better than you'd anticipated.

Considering I had a 6 hour operation and required two blood transfusions only a month ago, I am in near zero pain and am more or less healed.

I need to get back to work too. My employers have been short staffed since I have been off too, only I have been off for over 5 months now.
