The Slice and Dice cometh....

Well I finally got the date through for my op. It's next week..... in on tuesday, op on wednesday... It means I get the delight of another Easter in hospital, but at least it'll be a different one to last year.

Mum is far too happy for my liking as it means it won't upset her cruise plans.  

It will be good to get it done and you'll be all fit for LEJOG. Have they asked you for your dietary needs?

Good luck matey...oh yes better tell them about your pea allergy... Hope this will sort you out and you 'll be back to leching at certain fitness instructors in no time!

they sent a booklet with the letter, saying i could let them know any requirements. i just have a blanket no veg policy - hospital food is bad enough without veg too. course i could be stuck in hospital forever if i have to eat veg before they release me!

What is it your having done? I've obviously missed previous things from before I joined the nut house!

i'm having a cyst and the gall bladder removed, and then the liver needs to be re-plumbed in somewhere..... a bit of a simplification, but that's the gist of it!! what's most upsetting is i'll be back at square one at the gym. it's taken me years to get fit!! takes about a nanosecond to get unfit again!

Sounds nasty! sorry! Hope it all goes to plan though and your back on your feet in no time!

Sounds very similar to what a friend of ours had done at Addenbrooke's last summer, she had a cyst the size of a small football taken out & was back at work a week later so I'm sure you're be fine

that's good to hear! at least working from home means i can have a little lay down whenever I like!

good luck with the op Michelle

It is an unknown fact that the anaesthetic that is commonly in use --Beeyrids--sometimes causes a rare reaction in that afterwards the patient has an intense urge to eat Peas

I'm doing my Sainsburys on line order tonight.......

what a mean streak you lot have! I shall be very cautious with my post!!

I'm sure you'll be operating at 100% very soon Michelle. My Op last year was only for a part of yours, but I was fine within hours, and wished I'd had it done long before.

All the best,

I could ask the surgeon to perform a pea implant.

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm having bits removed, not put in.

Of course, looking on the bright side - how much does a gall bladder weigh? - it's got to do a bit for the weight loss surely?

I hope all goes well huni, I am sure you will be fit as a flea in no time!!!  

Hope all goes well Michelle   will be thinking of you xxx

Michelle, re. the weight loss: I asked the surgeon how he managed to get mine out through such amall holes in my belly. He said that they stuffed a plastic bag in my stomach, cut the gallbladder loose and shoved it in the bag, which they then pulled out. I asked him why they did that and he replied that the gallbladder, although the size of a Conference Pear, deflated when it was detached, and was only a few grammes of flesh, swollen up by the half litre of pus that was inside it! The reason for the plastic bag was to contain the pus.
You asked!!

Thanks for that, I'm glad I wasn't eating my trifle when I read this!

eeeew - that is seriously 'orrible! I think i'm having a bigger slice as i think the replumbing in of the liver needs more room. the doctor said they sometimes have to do 2 cuts like an L, but they should be able to get away with one on me....

had the surgical pre-assessment today and I'm normal - they said so - so there!!! apparently it won't hurt at all as they do an epidural, so that's alright then. up and walking after a couple of days she reckoned..... depends where they put the easter eggs if you ask me....

mum said when she read that she thought it was serious, since penny now works in an environment where she might know such things.... then realised...   made me laugh all over again!

I'd change doctors if I were you Michelle - someone so seriously deranged wouldn't get close to me with a knife!

That could be open to debate Penny

But I was.......Ukkkk  

We will all be thinking of you, OK wishing and hoping that your be better before Lejog or who else would Carol have to argue with.
Just think your be able to laze around in your pj's all day clicking on to the computer screen over your bed. Not much different to a normal day then, except you will not be able to laugh, so expect a few funny jokes coming your way.

thank you so much! to be honest - i'm scared of what Rita might be planning - i was there when mum read the pm she got from her - and she was laughing very hard.......

Just want you to know that Nicola goes in for a c-section on April 1st , seems baby is in a breach position and as he weights about 9lb it's the only way he will get out.
So you wont be the only one ending up with a scare this week. Those bakers are never happy unless they are stealing the glory. Good Luck and we will all be thinking of you. just thinking about starting a tote to see how many toy Ronald McDonald's pop out when they investigate.

Give her our love and hope all goes well - three grandchildren eh  

PS 9lb is nothing - Michelle weighed in at 9lb 13oz and Lisa was 11lb made my eyes water I can tell you  

Runs in the family here between them the girls weighed 6lb something each but they did put Linda in hospital for 3 months.

April 1st - appropriate date for a member of the baker clan!! Hope all goes well!

Hope all goes well for all of you this week

When the twins were born, Dan was 7lb 7oz & Joe was 6lb 14oz, I had to roll the Mrs around like Violet Beauregarde out of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory!

Hope all goes well for all of you this week

Same from me wishing you all well
