In today’s episode, your host Will Green shares his personal journey of recovery after a recent rib removal surgery, including the challenges of weaning off strong pain medication and returning to his role as a Sales and Marketing Director. With humour and honesty, Will reflects on the ups and downs of post-surgery life, dealing with side effects, family support, and the path back to normality, well, as normal as things can get after surgery!

What to Expect:

• Post-Surgery Reality: Will talks about the transition from hospital care to relying on family support and adjusting to life without nurses on call.
• Weaning Off Strong Drugs: A candid discussion on the side effects of pain medications like Dihydrocodeine and Amitriptyline Hydrochloride, and the challenging process of cutting down.
• The Bandage Struggle: The gross reality of removing post-op dressings, with all the squirmy details!
• Returning to Work: Balancing recovery with professional responsibilities, while cradling his missing rib.
• Reflections: Will offers some inspiring thoughts on resilience, recovery, and what life is like after surgery.

Key Highlights:

• The moment he realised the full pain of missing a rib
• The nightmare of deferred pain and sleepless nights
• Side effects overload: constipation, dizziness, drowsiness—and nightmares
• Hilarious stories of drug-induced “floaty” moments while playing with his son
• The epic bandage removal saga and how saline solution wasn’t the hero he expected
