I was operated on at midday and kept sedated for 24 hours as stomach was full of poison and hernia was black gratefully to be a tubby as they had to cut over 2 stone of poisend fat away,the staff were absolutely brilliant i can not praise them enough they were fantastic even though i was like looney on morphine the first night.
