Bad news

[journeyman Mick]

Please don't expect any sensible/helpful posts from me for a little while (I know, I know I'm not very sensible or helpful :rolleyes: ) Currently in Townsville, love of my life is having surgery tommorrow morning to remove a brain tumour :( (6th lot of surgery). I'll still be logging in to see what's happening, read the jokes etc for a bit of R & R but I'm finding it pretty hard to concentrate on anything much. I know there was a thread about bathroom linings in tile lux sheeting that I started on, but it's all a bit too much like work at the moment.

[Sir Stinkalot]

OK Mick, I'll dust off the joke file & see if I can find something that hasn't been here before..... here's one... did you hear the one about the brain surgeon & the.... opps, nah, only joking, hang in there Mick, I'd trade places with you but I doubt my Ex would be as gracious. :rolleyes:

[Honest Gaza]

We've never met Mick, and the only reason that I know of your misfortune is that we share a common interest in woodworking and hence the reason why we both access this website. However, I'm sure that all of us have families and at times have experienced similar feelings to what you are currently going through.

I hope all turns out well and that things get better from here.

Ditto from myself and the family as well. Hope it all goes well mate.

[journeyman Mick]

Thanks for all your kind thoughts, well wishes, prayers and jokes everyone (not neccesarily in that order :rolleyes: ). Operation was between 1.30 - 5.30 this afternoon. She's in ICU now, fairly lucid, in pain but has "the button" which is controlling it well. A bit of loss of function on one side again but some physio will hopefully sort it out. Hope to be going home on the weekend, but more likely next week. Thanks again all,

A humbled Mick

[gatiep]

Thanks for the update Mick, have been looking a few times today. I'm really glad & happy that it all went well, will carry you guys in thoughts and prayers. That button is a great invention!!! It kept me relatively painfree and happy last September.

Take care mate

:)

[Rocker]

Very happy to hear that all went as well as could be expected. Hope she makes a good and speedy recovery.

Nows the time to go out and buy a new truck. When she gets back home just tell her you've had it for months, the operation must have caused her to loose a bit of memory:D

Hmmm, that'd be a low act, clever but still low..... :D

[Andrew in Tas]

Good to hear the operation went well Mick. Best of luck for your wife's recovery.

Hiya Mick, only just saw this.

[journeyman Mick]

Got the SWMBO out of hospital today, along with 10 days supply of really strong pain killers. ;) Driving home tommorrow morning early after her first night without people waking her up at all hours to ask her who and where she is and shining lights in her eyes :( . We'll both be taking it pretty easy for a bit, but I'll find some time to post pics of the goodies I picked up in Townsville. :)

Mick

[DaveInOz]

Good to hear. hope all continues to go well

[silentC]

Glad to hear it mate. Take it easy. Nothing like being back in your own bed after a stay in one of those places. All the best to the cheese and kisses.

[craigb]

I've only just seen this thread because I've been away for a week or so.

Very glad to hear that all went well.

I wish your wife and you the best of luck.

Craig :)

[Termite]

Mick, my SWMBO went through a similar thing about 18 years ago, and while it was, to say the least, pretty traumatic at the time, all has turned out well now. I sincerely wish for the same result for your good lady, and peace of mind for yourself.

[ozwinner]

Good one Mick and Mrs Mick.


Al :)

[derekcohen]

Hi Mick

I've just seen this thread...

My best wishes for a speedy recovery for your wife. Now go and sink a couple of beers (such advice from a shrink!). I think you have earned it.

Kind regards from Perth

Derek

[Cliff Rogers]

....find some time to post pics of the goodies I picked up in Townsville. :)

You cunning barstool.... you took MathewA's advice didn't you.... you're going to tell her you've had it/them for ages..... slimy bugga.... :D

I hope she's well enough to to see right through you. ;)

[boban]

I hope it all goes well for both of you.

[MICKYG]

Mick, thanks for the upgrade in info, hope the road to recovery is kind to you both and we are thinking of you both in GI.

Kind regards

Mike

[journeyman Mick]

Well, we're still not home. The head wound started leaking clear fluid last night (CSF, cerebro-spinal fluid). So I spoke to one of the nurses in the neuro ward who told me to bring SWMBO in to the emergency dept for a doc to look at it. Of course we were there for a while before a doc looked at it, they were worried and readmitted her. By the time she was in a bed in the ward it was 2am so I only got about 2.5 hrs sleep last night. So this morning they drained fluid from between her scalp and skull and applied a pressure bandage and said she'd have to stay in for a day or two. Then about an hour later the specialist came in, said it was all unneccesary (expalined all the whys and wherefores) and said she could go home. Of course by then she had had another shot of morphine so they couldn't actually let her leave. Anyway, we're out now and hope to be leaving early tommorrow. Just had about 4 hours sleep too. :)

Mick

[graemet]

Good news (I hope) . I wouldn't have the responsibility of a neurosurgeon for twice the fee but it's nice to have one around when he's needed! I hope it all turns out OK Mick. All the best to your missus, and "here here" to all the posts on this thread. Keep strong, mate, she's lucky to have a bloke like you.
Cheers,
Graeme

[craigb]

Hang in there mate. You'll both be home soon . :)

[sandman]

My thoughts are with you both.
All the best & keep in touch,
regards Sandman.

[Iain]

Be positive and think about the poor buggers who don't go home, glad she is not one of them for you and your families sake.

[AlexS]

Thanks for the update Mick. Hang in there, & hope all continues to improve. We're all with you both.
