[Kieron Andrew]

Bif, has now gone down for his surgery, i am waiting for an update from his girl friend

EDIT:- he is actually out of surgery now, i just got a text from himself saying 'all okay, all done, sore and tired, but am fine. Double G's look great lol'

[Andy66]

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know, Kieron.

[Ze]

Congrats, Bif! I'm both jealous of and happy for you.

[pamela_a]

Thanks Kieron

Bif. Congratulations guy. I'm happy to hear it's done and you're fine. I know you're still sore so gentle to you.

[Lex]

update from Bif from his facebook...

good morning! Had a good night sleep with temazepam and earplugs! woke at 5.50am sore and stiff. Some of which will be due to sleeping on back. My ribs alround feel like they did years ago after a motorbike accident! Nevermind, i have painkillers and tea, and a cooked brekky coming later! :-)

drains are out, not too bad. Second one on left worse, but nurse was quick and efficient. Friday is going to be hell when they take plaster off....i should have shaved more of my chest!!

[NiCo]

Awesome!

Temazepam FTW [I had three of these before my hysto and I wasn’t even on this f^&*$% planet lol]

Good to hear he’s recovering well.

[7sisters]

Thanks Kieron.

Congrats Bif. Wish you a speedy recovery.

[Andy66]

So will Bif need a follow-up surgery to fine-tune things, or is it all done now?

this is all done, but i guess like with any surgery, there is a small chance of revisions needed

[Andy66]

this is all done

Glad to hear it. I'm happy for him.

[Sheila]

Send him best wishes for a speedy recovery from Debs and I please Kieron

[Bif]

Hey everyone.....thank you so much Kieron for posting on here for me

thanks also for all the good wishes.

Am just popping in as I can't sleep, it is hard sleeping on my back all the time, but at least I can catch up during the day.

I am having the sticky bandages off tomorrow, not looking forward to that as it really does stick! I have been gently working at the top bits this evening and managed to ease it off my skin. Shoved some bepanthen on to help the redness. So hopefully that will help the process tomorrow.

I had to stop taking co-dydramol as the inevitable constipation happened. Really a pain. Heavy anaesthetic and those is not good for ones motions! To be honest that has been the worst part....LOL.

I am very tired, but in good spirits. Was surprisingly bouncy when I left hospital on Tuesday, and still look amazingly healthy but I have my Mum cooking me good food so that helps.

[Andy66]

[Ze]

Nice to see you back so soon, Bif! Go easy on yourself!

[Lex]

You sound pretty chipper, always good. Make sure you rest up!

Don't worry about the bandage coming off, it's not so bad, I thought the drains being pulled out was more painful. I found it a relief to get the bandage off, wearing that thing drove me nuts, my skin felt suffocated.

[Adam]

Glad its done and went well just rest rest rest now hope your back on your feet soon

[Sheila]

glad you are feeling bright and cheerful & mums cooking will surely help , just don't over do things follow the medical advice to the letter and you will be just fine ........... good luck for the bandage removal tomorrow

[Felix]

Sorry I'm late on this Bif congrats I've just come out from the second stage of my chest reconstruction too xx Felix
