After undergoing tumor surgery, there are a number of things you can do in order to help your recovery. Here are some suggestions that will assist you in bouncing back after the ordeal of undergoing a surgical procedure involving the removal of a tumor.

One of the first things to remember is that, depending on the type of tumor and the location, what you may have experienced was the presence of a benign tumor rather than a malignant one. Count yourself lucky if that is the case. The presence of a malignant tumor indicates there is much more to do in the way of treatments and possibly more surgery before you have the situation under control. When your tumor surgery yields a benign tumor, your main task will be to focus on getting over the effects of the surgery.

Getting over the actual tumor surgery will vary somewhat, depending on where the incision was made and how large the incision happened to be. This will involve avoiding any type of activity that might lead to ripping or tearing of the incision as it heals. Your physician will be able to provide you with ways that you can get some exercise safely during the healing period. In many cases, you may be able to resume normal activities in less than a month.

During your recovery period, there will be days when you feel as if full recovery from the tumor surgery has already taken place. By all means enjoy that sense of renew vigor, but don't assume that you have bounced back more quickly than the doctor indicated was normal. Persons recovering from any type of invasive procedure go through days when they feel great, only to be followed by days where they do not feel quite as well. While you may feel fine one day, engaging in too much activity too soon could lead to a setback. Take those good days with a grain of salt, but don't see them as indicators that the healing is done.

Tumor surgery is a serious matter, as is any invasive procedure. While getting the good news that the tumor surgery revealed that the growth was benign will take a huge burden off your mind, don't discount the importance of following the doctor's instructions for your recovery time. Observe any guidelines about physical activity to the letter. In the long run, listening to the advice of your medical professional will make your tumor surgery recovery much easier.

When I first moved over from South Africa to the UK, last year, I lived in Surbiton, Surrey. While there, we set up satellite so that we could watch the rugby and it was quite fun to listen to Bobby Skinstad do his thing as a commentator. To think I saw him jog onto the field as a substitute Sharks player yesterday. Of course the SA teams didnt do that well in the Super 14 in 2006, and never mind the Trinations and as for the Europe tour of the Springboks, the less said the better.

So when we moved to Brighton, I decided to cancel our satellite subscription as we had a change of service providers and I could get out of the agreement. Because besides the rugby I ended up watching the food channels and I just felt spending the money every month on food channel viewing wasnt really worth it. In fact we havent even plugged in the TV since our move in November last year. But thats another story.

So of course it came as a major surprise that my team, the Sharks, and I have the car sticker and Sharks socks to prove it, ended up in the Super 14 semis. What can one do? I tried to Google for info on where the games would be shown. No answers for a local pub. Out of desperation I hiked down to the SA shop. I needed mayonnaise in any case. That is definitely something the Brits dont know how to make. And yet most of the rest of the food that one gets is divine and a great contributor to the extra rolls around the waistline.

Of course, as it happens, the man at the SA shop is from Durban. So is the girl behind the bar at our local gastro pub which is about 200m away from home. There are three South Africans working at the pub. Go figure. He tells me there is a delay in the broadcast of the games, but they will be shown at the Walkabout which is an Oz bar in Brighton city centre. I make sure that nobody in SA smss me the score.

On Saturday we hike down to the bar, and there are four hefty bouncers at the front door. We almost go home again. However, the game beckons and we go in. Smoking is still allowed in pubs. Bit behind in that respect. It will be banned on June 1 and I cant wait. A year ago I wouldnt have complained, being a more recent convert to the non-smoking community. The Oz staff is really friendly though and we settle down to watch the game. For once I drink Castle to celebrate the occasion. Never touched the stuff in SA.

We watch the Blues run onto the field and then the Sharks and the roar of the fans in the stadium is deafening. Its quite a weird feeling, watching the crowds at the Shark Tank. I used to pay R20 and sit in the last or second to last rows high up in the new stands. If you looked down the stairs you got vertigo and what a climb for the beer fill-up. And here I am in Brighton, UK, watching the game on a big screen in an Australian bar that offers Springbok or Kangaroo hamburgers and a real size stuffed crocodile decorates the stairwell to the toilets. Wow.

There is a small group of South African supporters, besides ourselves, and we are fairly vocal when our team scores. There are a few murmurs in support of the Blues, but nothing major. Its almost as if the Blues have support in order to counter the South African supporters. It is an Oz bar after all. Well whatever, its amazing we win, and in the end fairly easily. Regardless of the outcome, the New Zealand rugby playing style is a pleasure to watch.

We went on to watch the Bulls game, the commentator says that the crowds watched the Sharks win on the big screens and a roar of support went up. That doesnt happen often at Loftus. Ive watched a Currie Cup game there wearing Sharks supporters colours. Believe me its a scary experience. So that show of support was quite something. And amazing what distance can do to make the heart grow fonder, I even thought Steve Hofmeyrs little number was an ah bless moment. In the past I always felt he was actually the Bulls secret weapon in putting off the opposition.

Now of course the battle lines are drawn again. For the very first time there will be a South African winner of the super 14. Are we smiling? Oh yes. Theres hope yet for the Rugby World Cup. Not that us mere mortals will be able to afford the tickets to go to France to watch the games. So near, but yet so far away. Might just get the TV fixed for that. Although the pub down the road will show the games, good news for us is that England is in the same pool as SA. Its so much more fun watching with a crowd.
