Post-op update post. (say 3 times fast)
It's amazing how well all is healing, pain isn't even a thing. Even though I would probably not pass airport security as I have 28 titanium staples in my, ahem, bum. The machine would go nuts!
I brought my wife to the airport yesterday, in my car which isn't exactly known to be comfortable, 200km trip, no problem at all.
I did ask the surgeon, and yes, healing from an operation like this is helped greatly by not drinking and not smoking. Another good reason to stay the course. (not that I would like to have more surgery, but you know what I mean.
