Thanks Terry  :)

Mines nice and pale pink  :stir: healed very well ,

Eric says that Pink may be a better colour description but it is not the "faint white line" I was promised :disappointed: yet

Most of my machines are shades of Elephant Grey  ::)


Dave: have you worked out what you are going to be doing while off on the Sickie? Maybe your Wallaby would like to see more of you  :naughty: ... I assume you will be paid for the time off   :)

If you can get in the shop...it doesn't matter what you do...so long as you're enjoying what you're doing or not doing.  ;D

Had a bum day today myself...got in the car, turned on the radio...and immediately 'End of the Line' began playing.
I was smiling all the way home.

"Well, it's all right".

My favorite line..."even if you're old and gray...you still have something to say".

I always forget myself...but don't sweat the small things. And they're all small things.

Dave: the sooner they do the surgery the sooner you will be getting better  :)

When then did my opp in December the hospital advised 6 weeks , but they also said check with your insurance company or you could be driving without any cover,

We all know what wriggly outfits they are

As mine was a vertical tummy cut about 200mm it could have affected my core strength for control

Competition  ::) Surus' escape route is 9" long :facepalm: and it is still red  :disappointed:

Hospital said I was allowed to drive as soon as I could use the brakes. Insurance company said that unless Hospital/doctor had contacted DVLC then they would cover me. It was me who chose to delay things. 6 months on and it is the tummy squashing caused when driving that is the problem not the core strength.

Jo

Sounds like we need a thread of who has the longest scar (pictures get extra points).  :naughty: Just for the record.........mine is 11" with a nice intersecting 5" scar.  ;)

Not sure we should go there.  ;D But for what it's worth...while mine is only 5"...I did walk around for about 9 months with a tube sticking out of my chest and everyday sticking a syringe in it to squirt some saline in. I still have a supply of syringes and needles. Great for applying glue or cutting oil.

Some might say I coulda shoulda sued. But it was an unusual problem and I can't fault them for trying.

Tube is long gone. Problem is still there.  :cussing:

Pictures of model engine castings are preferred  ;) Although I have noticed that whenever I try to photograph ones on the dining room table I seem to get Surus in the picture :headscratch:

Good luck tomorrow Stuart

I am sure the 4 hours is just a means of increasing the car parking fee  ::) With my CT scan it was not that long

I had  a CT scan in A&E yes very quick

this is not a CT scan but a special one for this rare Cancer that the took out hence the wait for the radioactive dye to soak in, bet they rub you over with a gigercounter  :zap: bit like a ultrasound but with radiation

Its not the parking fee its finding a place to park   :censored: thats the bind they have built on most of the car parks at Nottingham City hospital , so to make sure we use a taxi but you have less stress

this is the rub A&E are at Queens Hospital Notthingham QMC which is served by the tram network but not City but QMC do not have the scanner  :censored:

there are other methods to get there but they take a long time so darn the expense as you say save till you retire then spend it

we are well blessed with both of us doing hospital visits Linda has a very high Platelet count so taxi firm is getting a lot of business

will let you know when I know hopeful that the got it all as I was told

a worried  :old: Stuart
