It bemuses me that the nurse who comes round first thing in the morning
always asks if you had a good night's sleep despite knowing that you've been
woken up several times during the night for blood pressure and temperature
checks..
I've not just got bags under my eyes but bags under the bags!

Good to hear you're back home and making good progress - hospital can be
the worst place for recuperation!! Meals at ridiculous times and
frequently inedible, plastic-covered mattresses that make you sweat,
waking you up to ask if you need a sleeping pill, etc.
I had open (as opposed to keyhole) abdominal surgery about 15 years ago,
got home fairly quickly afterwards and felt I was making a good recovery
- so much so that I went back to work rather sooner than the doc had
approved. NOT a good idea, I discovered pretty quickly - it takes
longer than you think to make a full recovery from surgery under general
anaesthetic. So take it easy.
