Turns out that there was a problem after the last minor surgery which caused me to get an infection, most probably because they forgot to give me any anti-biotics. This infection caused me to develop a massive abcess in a rather sensitive place. So I needed to stay back at the hospital again to have it drained, and now every day for the next week or so I hve to go back and forth to the doctors to have the dressing pulled out and changed... which hurts like hell.
All I can do while I'm like this at the moment is lay in bed recovering, which can get quite boring after a while, mybe i'll try re-playing a good long RPG to pass the time.
