Well, what a load of rubbish my "mates" put on here while I have
been suffering in silence.
Went in on Tuesday for supposed "key-hole" removal of a stone
and the gall bladder and expected to be home in a couple of days.
Key-hole attempted but inadequate, so an incision requiring 26 staples
has been done and results of a biopsy will be made known on Tuesday.
In the meantime there will be no lawn mowing, weeding, woodturning,
lifting or driving undertaken until further notice. I will just have to sit
at the computer and see the drivel that my supposed "mates" have
written.

26 staples! Haven't they heard of lithotripters up your way stones are disolved by ultrasound no cutting, stitches, whatever.
Dont you love the medical profession!
I was talking to a fellow when last In Sydney who had a prostrate operation done by the Da Vinci machine at St Vincents he said he only had little nicks about the size of blackberry thorns where they operated.

Gee Allan, you must've grown some big ones.
Best wishes for the recovery.
Think of how much time you can spend taking shots at forumites ;-}Cheers, Ern

At the moment I vote for "worst" as I cannot laugh,
yawn, cough or splutter without severe pain.
In addition I have almost lost my voice - it must be from
barking instructions to the missus.
Oh well, just sit back, things should improve one day,
then probably deteriorate again the next.
Thank you all for your comments.

Allan, sorry to hear they took the scenic route mate. Hopefully you'll be up and about again soon.
PS: You can tell your surgeon I was only joking about you swallowing that 1930 Proof Penny. (how was I to know he was an avid collector?)

Thanks Greg,
Glad to see recently that your operation was key-hole and you looked
a million dollars at your turnfest.
Got the results today from the surgeon - he even swore at me in a good
humoured way saying it was his toughest gall bladder operation in the
last four years.
Apparently my gall bladder had attached itself to my liver so he had to
do a separation first before removing the gall bladder. Good news is
that nothing is cancerous and time will heal it ok. He removed about
12 staples today - the other 14 this Thursday.
Thanks all for your concern,
