Glad it went well Paul,
Mine were done in a military hospital quite some time ago.
The (military) staff were gobsmacked when I questioned the surgeon, a full Colonel, about what he was proposing to do and persuaded him to make some compromise about when I would escape.
Poor military patients were expected to lie at attention whenever he was around.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using. I even unplugged my own.

The mind boggles  Good to hear all went well Paul. Presumably you had no bits missing either like you might have had in Pete's hospital if you were unlucky

My brother's wife had her first baby in an RAF hospital and the lying at attention was the norm there too in 1979.
At the time Ian was a civilian Judge Advocate working for HM Forces , hence why Sian ended up there.

Just coming back to this topic a bit later – I came across this page and it talks about issues related to the Integra biological mesh that’s sometimes used in these kinds of surgeries. Whatever you do, it’s important to know what materials were used.
