Got a fairly big goitre removed. Dr Shah was brilliant and the nurse who looked after me yesterday in recovery (think her name was Jackie), and some of today (Olivia and another lady). Through the night was more relaxed and the pain crept back.
What I found concerning is that after 5 hours under general and a pretty big operation I was discharged. Not really on top of pain and very lightheaded with low BP when I stood. I’m home feeling perplexed by it all to be honest and with only a small bottle of pain relief for such a bit mass removed. Care was good until all of a sudden, I was discharged home.
