    OH no bad news in one respect,good news on the other hand or should i say knee:rotfl: . Your health is more improtent ? than a booze up phil. Good luck with EVERYTHING;)

    Hmm came just after i'd spoke to you this morning......says I have to ring on the day of admission to see if theres a bed for me! so its not all cut & dry yet I suppose..... i'm c***** myself now & to be honest would have much preferred a !!!! up to this!! :D
    Although I knew it might be coming I didnt expect so fast.....least now in the new place everything is on one level so i'm not worrying as bad..least I can stay at home after the op & manage myself

    (least its got me out of decorating now!)

    It always amazes me the lengths people will go to,to get out of something:rotfl: by that i mean the decorating.

    I remember the day i went in for my op. It said ring at 9.30 so i rang,they said ring back at 9.45 and this went on every 15 mins till 11.30 they said you might as come in and wait. Got there and waited and waited and waited. At 1pm saw the dr/gas man ect(if we di not see them then we would have to go home as their afternoon list was about to start) still without a bed. 2PM got a bed,2.25 went down the theatre.

    Mind i felt sorry for the dr. They thought my op would take 45mins at the max. I got out of theatre at 6.45pm, that was 4 hrs 20 min. Imagine what time they went on till that night or how many had to have their op's cancelled:o .Oooops.D

    Hmm thanks...I think!
    not too bothered about the op itself....more worried about getting better afterwards having a complete knee done along with some pretty complex surgery on my foot.....once i'm all better its back in for the other knee/foot

    Hi Phil,

    I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to make it, but delighted that you've got a date for your operation. We might take a detour coming home Sunday morning and call in and see you.:beer: :beer:

    Hi

    Hotel booked so if anyone needs a lift from Staffs/West Mids area send me a PM and I will get back to you...have 2 vacancies for back seat ( no smutty remarks plse:D :D :rolleyes: )

    Am off to town be back on later byeeeee:hello:

    Sorry anne i totally forgot to say thank you for the offer of a lift. There were a couple from brum way who were going to come but not sure if they still want to.

    Thing is when people are first going through bc(like yourself) they don't feel they know us well enough to come to the meet,almost like imposing. Then there are those who have been here a while who can not wait(like me:o ),then there are those who when a meet was first mentioned wanted to come but have now moved on:D . So i am having a little diffaculty in keep track of it all. There are about 20 of us so far but all that could change by nxt wkend.:p To my way of thinking the more the merrier:beer: . Think it will be my first truely relaxing nght out since my bc last nov;) ,not having to watch what i say,looking to see if i know anybody. God this time nxt week i will be bag of nerves:eek: .D
