Surgery commenced at 13:30hrs on Monday, I think I woke at around 7pm but can't be sure.
Next morning I did the obligatory 3 laps of the ward to shut the doctor up, and 30 hours later I was out of the door.
The surgery was 100% successful, and the lump that was removed is now on a scientists desk somewhere being examined to determine the cancer type.
There are a couple of pics below for the more morbid among us, although you will have to copy and paste those links (done in order to avoid accidental clicking and potentially offending).
