Quick post: had surgery

I’m not going to write much right now as I still haven’t eaten anything in about a week, and it’s actually pretty cold in my office, not as cold as it was in the surgical unit, but still cold, and I’d rather not take flu right now.

I had surgery, last week; it was more complex than I expected but easy enough for the surgeons, it was done with urgency, but it wasn’t life threatening, yet. I’ll probably write a lot about the last three weeks in the next days but for now I have to recover, eat something, watch TV, play, make sure my cut heals fast and steady.

I’m now back home, I still have staples on my tummy, but it’ll be fine in a week or two, although it won’t heal fully in less than six months.

Oh, and I have been diagnosed type 2 diabetes, but in a light form which should be reversible, and is not related at all with my pancreatitis but rather with my having been overweight before.

Update 2023-08-11: I should probably by now correct that diagnosis. As it turns out, at least in the UK, the diabetes I have, which is caused by damage to the pancreas, is officially called type 3c.
