Operation PLUM extraction

1 minute read time.
OK - First blog Tomorrow afternoon at around 2pm. 29th April 2009. I will be having surgery to remove a cantankerous testicle. And I plan on being completely 'out of it' when it takes place. I've become quite attached to both of my balls, as ugly as the scrotum is, I do think of it as the ultimate 'Man Bag'. Unfortunately one of 'em has gotta go. I havent been given any indication of how far advanced a stage of Cancer it is I have. I feel reasonabley healthy enough despite a few bad nights with little sleep. I have been measured for surgical stockings, (hold ups !!mmmmm) and im lead to beleive my arse could well be hanging out of my surgical gown. I've done a little reading about stitches and sutures etc. And im going to request internal stitching and glueing. I have no idea what pain or discomfort i'll feel. But at the rate the tumour is multiplying I dont care!!.I will prob stay in over night. but look forward to being home and mooching about in jogging bottoms and having internet access. otherwise ill get a little cranky and I hate feeling sorry for myself. I will update whenever I can and hope to maintain a regular diary of events. This is big news for me....as the last time I stayed in hospital was for having my foot run over by a Leyland Maxi in 1984!!! (Bloody big cars anorl)
