I had open heart surgery, exploratory surgery in my stomach, bilateral chest tubes... all this stuff.
I had surgery on my core muscles. They were ripping apart.
I lost my spleen, I lost the hearing in my left ear, so I had a lot of internal organ damage.
I had my appendix out when I was 11, and that was the last time I was in a hospital. That was a one-night deal. So I've spent basically one night in a hospital.
I did not, thank the Lord, have to have a hysterectomy.
They took my mother's stomach out six months ago.
I had tumors on both ovaries, and the cancer had spread into my lymph nodes and surrounding tissues.
I had a major surgery, a major abdominal surgery, and a mass was removed from my pelvic area, and I do have some more recovery to do. But everything seems to be fine.
She [my wife] has had a Caesarean, so she can't bend over. It's a good excuse [for not changing nappies], I suppose.
I developed a really bad hernia. I had to cancel the tour and go have surgery.
