Glad to hear all went well.
As to letting the op site to settle, after one of my many catheterisations I was recuperating in hospital and needed the toilet. I buzzed for a nurse but none came so I thought "sod it, I get out of bed and go" Big mistake. No sooner than I had relieved myself when incision opened up. Blood everywhere! The nurse gave me a bollocking (literally!)
So, stay in bed and let others doing all the running about.
