Cheers Guys. It was key hole luckily - the guy in the next bed had open surgery and despite going down to theatre hours earlier than me was still on the morphine pump while I was waiting for Mrs G to come and pick me up.
While I feel a bit rough, it's nothing compare to the bad attack on Monday night.
Must say I'm looking forward to a visit to the all you can eat breakfast buffet at the local Toby Carvery

.
Cheers
