Wow! What a saga! The main operation went fairly quickly..... probably about half an hour or so...... then I had a "acute pulmonary odema"..... APO..... which is when blood is sucked into the lungs. This took a long time to fix it..... about 5 hours in the theater! So I was then a further 24 hours in the postoperative ward........ then I was moved to the intensive care unit. It's now 1.30pm and it looks as though I'll be moved to a ward soon. The whole affairs has been beautifully managed. Top marks to RPH. The pain levels have been much lower than I expected....
I now have just one kidney and the remaining kidney is functioning perfectly.
5pm...... Still in ICU
Pain 1-2. Sleepy
