Hi all

My eldest ds aged 3 had opereration today on an undesended testicle he has had since birth, i was a nervous wreck but he sailed it.
brought him home 2 hours after op thankfully but his balls are so black now poor wee lamb

He isnt even moany just lying in MY bed out of it on drugs and anaesthetic, i was surprised however that they gave him dyhydrocodeine(medical heroin) for pain at this young age, but it is working a treat for his pain, hes walking a bit like a cowboy right now

jambo, dihydrocodeine is MUCH weaker than heroin (diamorphine), don't worry, it's quite safe, but might bung him up a bit, so make sure he eats plenty of fruit and veg, and drinks a lot of water!
