17th and 18th visit. Op no 2

So yesterday was routine visit but today less so!
Dr decided I needed a second thread fitted in a new area and some skin cut. So op 2!
This time it was done in the small hospital where he holds his daily clinic. In the small operating theatre next to his office.
Done under local anaesthetic so 5/6 injections into a very tender area!
This was the most painful bit.
The smell of your own flesh being cauterised is a bit traumatic too!

I needed a 20 minute lie down after but it was all so simple compared with the UK. No form filling no wait two hours after. No discharge letter...Sadly no tea and toast either!
Back to room for a sleep but three hours after I am  feeling better.
There is a lovely wee shrine in the side room and folk seem to come and add flowers ..... even as you're lying there 🙏
