Colon Surgery Experience: Now That's Better
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/07/now-thats-better.html
Saturday, 17 July 2010. At last, a positive Blog post. With any luck, my 'misery memoirs' style posts are now over and I can just start ticking off the steps as I recover fully. They are keeping me on iv antibiotics until Wednesday but I already feel transformed. I'm still on pain killers of course but I am walking more easily than I have since the op and have some semblance of an appetite. Again, I don't want to start name-checking, but the nursing staff here at the Murrayfield (as well as the Stoma car...

http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/10/final-op-done.html
Thursday, 21 October 2010. Well, I had the final op on Tuesday and all has gone smoothly; the bag has gone, my internal plumbing is working and the op scar is small and healing well.

Colon Surgery Experience: Oooh, You Are Awful
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/07/oooh-you-are-awful.html
Friday, 16 July 2010. Oooh, You Are Awful. So, here I am back in hospital. I ended up seeing my Consultant on Wednesday evening by which time I could hardly walk and was in tears because of the the pain (and in truth probably because of the psychological trauma of being so weak and realising things were getting worse). Rather a dull post I'm afraid - I'm lacking any wit or wry humour today; hopefully a temporary condition. Posted by Kevin Hague. 18 July 2010 at 23:56. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Colon Surgery Experience: Progress at Last
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/07/progress-at-last.html
Tuesday, 27 July 2010. Well I've passed my '40 days and 40 nights' since the op and I am still wandering in the wilderness; that said although I've lost a lot of weight strictly speaking I haven't been fasting (so I'd better drop the "me versus Jesus" analogy). I managed a decent 30 minute walk today and I'm still feeling OK an hour later so I can imagine starting to get some proper exercise within the next few weeks. I guess that's it for now; it makes a nice change not to have bad news to post here.

Colon Surgery Experience: Life is Sweet
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/08/life-is-sweet.html
Saturday, 7 August 2010. Day 53 . and I've had a good few days. Just been for a pleasant stroll, the sun is out and life feels good. Some signs of weight gain and definitely improving energy levels. Still have some down days (lots of sleeping mainly) but these are fewer and farther between. Nothing intersting or insightful to add so will leave it there; thanks again to all of those who have visited, emailed and/or offered support. Posted by Kevin Hague.

Colon Surgery Experience: Moving Backwards?
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/07/moving-backwards.html
Friday, 9 July 2010. A tough couple of days; determined not to let this get on top of me but it really is starting to wear me down. I have to remind myself that 'Big Picture', all is OK. The problem is my wound has turned really nasty. The more squeamish of you may not to read the rest of this post. Time to buck up and get on with it I guess. My next post will be more upbeat I promise. Posted by Kevin Hague. 9 July 2010 at 23:36. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Formerly Partner at OC&C. Kevin Hague&#...

Colon Surgery Experience: The Initial Operation
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/06/initial-operation.html
Friday, 25 June 2010. I'm writing this Blog as much for my own good as anything else (it helps me process what has happened/is happening) and I publish to prevent me having to bore people with my stories (if they are curious, I can point them here) and to psychologically ghettoise this part of my life because I don't want this operation to be what defines me. Writing this 10 days after the intial op so will break-down the journey as best I remember. From the discussion with the surgeon I guess it's all v...

Colon Surgery Experience: Positive Thinking
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/06/positive-thinking.html
Wednesday, 30 June 2010. Well, a dull day today sitting on drip and having all input/output measured. Was hopeful of gettting out this evening but Consultant is keen to be sure my fluid balance is stabilised; given the grief I have had over the last 2 weeks I'm not going to argue. Plan is to get out now tomorrow evening - I find myself avoiding the use of the term 'discharge' for some reason. Posted by Kevin Hague. 30 June 2010 at 22:56.

Colon Surgery Experience: Groundhog Day
http://colonoff.blogspot.com/2010/06/groundhog-day.html
Tuesday, 29 June 2010. Disappointed to be writing this still in hospital. Headline news is all OK, just frustrating. Felt absolutely drained all morning, slept and slept, felt queasy. Forced myself up and managed to half pack before flaking out. Jane turned up and finished my packing and we were in theory ready to go; but I felt terrible, really struggling to get up and walk.
