Bit of an update – OP here. I’m having my hernia op tomorrow in a local surgery that has an operating theatre. Local anaesthetic and should be done in around an hour. Roughly 9 weeks from it happening and through the NHS. Will be off work for a few weeks and no biking for 6 weeks minimum assuming all goes to plan. I’ve been biking during this period with the aid of a truss I bought online which helps massively. A few short road bimbles getting up to 60 miles, plus I did the Peak Jacob’s Ladder route last Sat on the proper bike which was ace! Long period of sheer boredom starts here…trying not to eat and drink and piss away the fitness I’ve built up. Not really thought about the op itself much…til now ?…
