Well, the anaesthetic's worn off, I think, but the cocktail of Tramadol, Codeine and lovely lovely morphine is hanging in there. Sadly I couldn't persuade them to send me home with painkillers that would make me forget my name, but I have a box of Co-Codamol and some anti-inflammatories, so I should be ok. It's not as painful as I expected, although it does feel, as I was forewarned, as if I've had a significant kick in the slats.. ;-)
As far as I'm aware, the surgery was successful, and more importantly the CT scan results showed that it hasn't spread. I may still need some chemo or radiation as a precautionary measure though.
I haven't seen the scar yet, because it's under a dressing which I need to change tomorrow, but the left half of my scrotum is black... Now, when I blew out the candles on my 21st birthday cake and wished for lunchbox like Linford Christie's, I was talking about the size, not the colour, ok? Still, it's a start I suppose. ;-)
