I'm afraid that the existing pain and inconvenience had become so bad that it was to bite the bullet or use one. The op itself wasn't that bad it is the recovery. I was sent home without any additional pain relief and have since seen my GP and was prescribed Tramadol and what a relief. This is day seven and I am now in the frame of mind to get back to my old routine. However, at 83 I had to jump through the hoops including detailed study of my heart, lungs and kidneys. before they considered that I could pass an operation. Nice to know that I wasn't in too bad a shape. Lucky for me that my wife has been more than capable looking after me.
