Surgery tomorrow

So I just got a call from my doctor telling me I have been bumped up the list by my specialist for surgery tomorrow morning after reviewing my ultrasounds. That means after about 6 weeks of healing from my stab wound I am going to be back to square 1. I am so fricken depressed right now as I was supposed to be starting back to work on light office duties next week.

The surgery is to repair a section on my lung and surrounding muscle that hasn't repaired properly from initial surgery. All going well I will be only in hospital for 24hrs this time not 3 weeks lol. This has also caused the court hearing to most likely be pushed back as well since it should be in about 2 weeks since offender has changed to a guilty plea but I have to be present for sentencing to take place.

Now to tell the kids in the morning that daddy has to go back into hospital again should be fun. At least I got to spend today with my daughter for her 7th birthday yay.
Sorry so long everyone, just a bit on my mind lol.

  • Oh my goodness gracious! I obviously missed the story, what happened?
  • Good luck and hope for you a fast recovery.
  • @smcox I was stabbed whilst doing a warrant arrest which left me with a punctured lung. It failed to heal properly the first time so I had to have this surgery to help rectify it. Am now on road to recovery and should be back to light duties soon hopefully.
  • Wow are you a police officer? Thats scary! I'm glad you're finally healing and doing better!
  • @smcox yeah have been in police force for 12 years at the end of june and only the second time seriously injured. I am currently looking at an internal transfer to being a senior training officer with new recruits.
  • Glad to hear everything went well. Best wishes for a speedy and smooth recovery! You seem like an awesome father and husband! I'll keep you in my thoughts! :)
