See you all in two weeks

[Auld Bassoon]

No No I'm not going anywhere

Saw the surgeon again this afternoon and got the results of the follow up CT scan that was done about 10 days ago. All is clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to share the good news with you guys/girls. I have to go back in December ( 6 months ) for another look see.

Guess who is very happy today

Hi Joe!

Great result. I'm very pleased for you Enjoy!

Cheers!

I had 500 mm of my small bowel removed with malignant growths ( carcinoids) on it. Fortunately the op went well and it is not necessary for a bag.

Glad it all went well Joe and welcome back.

Cheers Martin

Great news, Joe.

Had a medical emergency with my little girl recently and I know something of the euphoria that good news from a doctor can bring

What's that you always say? "Keep turning"

Good news Joe

Ain't that the truth. I still remember (after 16years) the feeling that came firstly with the possibility of my daughter having leukaemia and finally the elation when we got the all clear. My son spent 100 days straight in hospital in his first winter so I know how bad (and good) problems with your health can make you feel.
Joe, I'm so glad you're OK and when I say I know how you feel, I really do.
So keep turning.

It's amazing how these things that test us affect us other than health wise. When one has something hanging over ones head its like trying to see into the future through a wall.............there seems to be very little future. Then suddenly one gets an all clear or at least some hope and it is as if that wall gets a window in it to look through!!!!

To all you guys & girls, thanks a lot for the good stuff! And as Jim says in the quote above about : " So keep turning"

I am, I am, walked in at 10-30 pm from a turning class!

Thanks again

I know how you feel. I am recovering from a quadruple cardiac bypass three weeks ago and as you go into it, you think how is this going to turn out.

I now feel as good as I did before I had the surgery apart from some niggerly pains and I am only one quarter the way to recovery, so I am looking forward to full recovery.

I am awed by the skill and the dedecation of these surgeons, doctors and nurses in these hospitals and consider they deserve every penny they earn.

Amen to that.

Funny thing is that you expect to be worried, nervous, sick to the stomach (and that's just the parents) when you take a seriously ill kid to emergency. What you don't expect is to be awe struck and uplifted by these people who save lives for a living. The doc on duty at the local hospital saved our little girl's life as far as we are concerned and the nursing staff were outstanding. If other organisations took a leaf out of their book... but then I think that it takes a certain type of person to do that job.

Its good to hear you two fella's have come good after some ultra serious operations.

That is a miniature turbine ( jet engine ) that I built. The body is about the same size as a Landcruiser oil filter. Runs un kero, produces 7 kg thrust on normal settings, but could about double that. Idles at 30,000 and is governed to a max o0f 130,000 rpm. Somewhere on here is a more detailed post on it.

Thanks for the good wishes.

So I was right... good guess.
