Thanks Melinda, Cailin & Sarah, it is reassuring to know I am not the only one with the pains. I was glad I had a catheter because you don't feel it when it goes in and who wants to worry about going to the toilet straight after surgery. Speaking of flabby bits, I got DH to feel mine today when I was walking, feels so wobbly. In a strange mood today. My SIL is having plastic surgery to get rid of hers after she has her 2nd in Feb.
