G'day Lori
Thank ya for your thoughts

n' wellwishes.
Me surgeon fixed up me bug in me tummy a few weeks ago. Last Monday 24th he got stuck into some heavy stuff via keyholes. Started the show about 9.30:am, (I WAS asleep) dug around for a bit, then tossed me gall bladder over his shoulder inta the waste gall blader bin. I can imagine him breaking out into song...'Figaro, Figaro, figarooo...

Next he entered through me belly button n' fixed up me hernia, + put some surgical gauze for reinforcement, stapled-up all the incisions, there's four of them about inch n' a half long, gave me slap on the backside n' I woke up in me hospital bedroom about 10.45am

My doctor visited me about 8.30:am on Tuesday 25th, checked me out n' said I could go home if I liked. I Rang-up Pam n' I was home by 11.30. I have to go back to the hospital next Monday, 31st ta get me staples out.
I went down to the village with Pam this afternoon 26th, helped with the shopping (didn't carry anything) n' a little bit painful getting in n' out of the wagon, though not too bad the Subaru's about chair height from the ground. I've got to keep me white stockings on to aid circulation,( wouldn't give a skirt n' a blouse to finnish off me outfit)

and I've got to keep walking for the same reason. So I'm not sitting in front of the computer for too long.
Can't hug ya Lori, so,s i'll give ya a kiss on the cheek.
John
