Been In Hospital for an Operation
Hi everyone! Sorry been a lack of posts recently. I’ve been in hospital for an operation for a longstanding condition that’s been giving me a bit of trouble for a while now. As I have a somewhat weaker lung function as well (you may recall I spent time in hospital last November because of a bad chest infection), I was also advised to have a spinal for my operation as it would be safer for me than a general anaesthetic.
It was a bit of a scary experience being awake while I was being operated on, but the staff were all really nice and looked after me. Its been just over a week since my operation. I’m home now and recovering well. Obviously I’m going to have to take things easy for a bit. So that’ll mean lots of binge watching box sets and movies for me while I recover – just what the doctor ordered!
Take care and I’ll see you all soon.
Paul.

Wishing you a happy recovery! 🤕✌
Cheers! Will have to rest for a week or two, but glad to be home now and recovering so well. 🙂
Hope you have a speedy recover man.
Thank you very much. 🙂
Glad to hear you are doing well!
Cheers Tom! Yes, its been a tough time, but I’m recovering really well. Nice to be home 🙂
I hope you aren’t in too much pain and recover quickly, Paul!
Thanks Cindy. It was more painful last week, but not been as bad this week. The operation went really well and with no complications, now I just have to rest, and take things a bit easy while I recover. 🙂
Glad your home and doing well. Since your binge watching, and I dont knowing you have Starz, there is a good show called Rook. I’m sure you’ve heard if it. Might want to give it a try.
Feel better my friend.
Cheers Tim! Yes, its really nice to be home and recovering now. The operation went well and I’ll have to rest a few weeks to recover completely. I don’t have Starz, but I’ve heard about the show you mentioned. I’ve been watching a few Doctor Who box sets and some Sci-Fi movies so far, and plenty of comic books to catch up with as well. So those will keep me busy for a bit 🙂
I’m so sorry to hear this news. Hopefully you’ll get better
Thank you. I’m so glad to be home now and recovering. Just got to rest and take things easy for a week or two. I’ll soon be on the mend 🙂
And that’s great to hear!!!
I hope you have a quick recovery.
Thank you 🙂
I wish you a speedy recovery. And thank you for the comment!
Cheers! I’m glad to be home so I can begin my recovery. You’re welcome 🙂
Sending positive thoughts and good vibrations for a speedy recovery from here in San Diego.
Thank you so much. My recovery is going well. I’ll have to take things easy for a few weeks, but I’m on the mend 🙂
Get well soon Paul, and enjoy your time off relaxing and having a good catchup on comics, TV and film and anything else to help you get back on the mend. That must have been completely bizarre being awake while having the op!! Could you actually see the procedure in any way, or did they screen off the area? I recently recovered from a nasty viral infection and had to have lots of blood taken among many other procedures… must be the horror fan in me, but I couldn’t help watching every ml of my blood getting sucked into all those vials 😈😀
Thank you! I’m glad to be home and recovering so well now. Been binge watching some box sets and watching lots of sci-fi movies. Got some new comics today as well so those will keep me busy too. Yes, it was a strange experience having my operation while being awake, they put a screen up though, not sure I could’ve watched any of it though LOL! I’m glad I got it all sorted though, it’d been worrying me a bit, so good to get it done. Good to hear you are well now too. 🙂
Get better quick! Good thing you have Spidey’s quick healing ability!
Thank you very much! LOL, yes, that certainly comes in handy! I’m on the mend, slow but sure, just got to take things easy for a bit. 🙂
Wishing you a fast recovery. 💙💙
Thank you 🙂
Feel better man! Being sick definitely sucks and that sounds pretty serious. Get a lot of good bingewatching for sure and I look forward to you being back to 100%
Cheers! I’m getting on the mend, slow but sure after my operation. I’ve just got to be sure to rest and not lift anything too heavy for a couple of weeks. So that will leave me plenty of time for binge watching some of my favourite shows and movies 🙂
Sorry to hear but Hope you recover soon Paul – love that pic from the ’67 Spider-Man cartoon!
Thank you Chris! Yes, the operation went well, so just got to rest and recover now. I’m getting there. LOL, I thought it was a fun picture of Spidey to use for this post, just wanted to let everyone know I was ok. Wish I had spider powers to help me get better quicker LOL 🙂
Hopefully your recovery goes well, and that you can get back on your feet soon.
Cheers! I’ve got to take things easy for a bit, but the operation went well, and there were no complications. Was glad to get home and begin recovering. All going ok, not too painful now, so I’m on the mend. Got lots of comics and box sets to pass the time while I get better. 🙂
Ah I missed this post, do hope you’re feeling better now. Looking forward to your return whenever. On the bright side, happy binge watching! 🙂
That’s ok. Cheers, I’m on the mend slow but sure. Still taking things a bit easy but I’m getting there. It has been nice to have a break and binge watch some of my favourite films, TV shows, and comics while I’ve been recovering. I’ll be getting back to blogging once I’m feeling better. 🙂
Get better soon! I wish you all the best as you recuperate. 🙂
Thank you very much! 🙂
Wish you speedy recovery 🙏🌸
Thank you, I’m on the mend. Taking time, but I’m getting there 🙂
I hope your recovery is going well. Sorry to hear you had to have the operation – and that would be a weird experience.
I hope you’re back to your regular life soon! 🙂
Hi! Thank you, its been just over 5 weeks now since my operation and all is going well with my recovery. Gradually getting back to normal, still have to be careful and not overdo things, but its been nice to have a rest. Thank you for the kind wishes and I hope to get back to normal and doing some writing and reviewing again as well. Been writing a few short stories as well while I’ve been off, which has been fun 🙂
I wish you a healthy recovery! Sorry to hear you were in the hospital! I hope your operation improves your condition 🤓💖
Thank you very much. It was a bit scary having an operation, but I’m glad I got it done, and its certainly helped me as I was in a lot of discomfort before I went in hospital. I’m on the mend now gradually, its taken time, but I’m getting there. 🙂
I hope you’re on the way to recovery.
So how are you doing now? I see you around but don’t see any new posts. So you’re alive, but I have to wonder “how alive” 😉
Hello! Yes, I’m on the mend now and still about. Its been just over six weeks since my operation so feeling much better now. I haven’t done any new posts recently, hope to get back to things soon though. I’ve a few films I want to catch up on that I missed while I was off. I have been doing some writing, mostly short stories (horror genre), but those have just been something to pass the time. Thanks for checking in, I’m still around, and hopefully I’ll get back with some new posts soon. 🙂
No rush, don’t push yourself. Just wanted to see how you were doing. Thanks for the update 🙂
Cheers! Its been nice to have a break and just enjoy watching some films and Tv shows, and write a few stories as well. I have been thinking about the direction I wasn’t to take the blog in the future as well. I’m doing really well though now and feeling stronger and better every day. I was surprised how much having the operation took out of me and I’ve certainly needed the rest afterwards. Thanks for checking in, I’m sure I’ll be up and running eventually. Mind you, it has felt a bit strange not having any new series of Doctor Who to write about this year, usually that’s what I would have been doing around this time of the year. 🙂
I’ve missed your posts and thought of you on #DrWhoDay! I hope your recovery is going well.
Hi Nancy! Yes, my recovery has been going very well thank you. Its been nice to take a break and recover. I’ve been writing as well and coming up with some new ideas. Thank you, its most kind of you to say how much you’ve enjoyed the posts. I hope to return blogging soon, either December or January, I’ve not decided yet. All is going well and I’ll be back soon. 🙂
Glad to hear you’re still recovering well. Thinking of you.
Thank you! All is going very well. Its been nice to take some time to recuperate and just relax. Its taken time, but I’m getting there. The Doctors said it’d take a couple of months or so for me to get over it completely, so I’ve been doing as I’ve been told and resting.
