I can do this late afternoon if no one tries before then. I'm at an appointment that's within sniffing distance of a Morries.

Savvy........we have had a heated discussion in my house this morning (not for the first time either) on whether a certain word is appropriate to use in everyday conversation I say it's not but I'm being increasingly beat down by the kids who think it's ok and I'm being old fashioned :rotfl: I can put the word in question on here and it won't get censored :rotfl:
So the word is 'screwed' as in 'if Mum sees that you are screwed':cool: I don't like it it at all but all I seem to have done is sparked a debate over whether it's a 'bad' word or not. And no I'm not going into the context of it with three gobby teenagers :eek: :rotfl:

think it is just that we think of this as having a different meaning to teenagers, so we probably are old fashioned :rotfl:

adjective: screwed

1. 1.
   (of a bolt or other device) having a helical ridge or thread running around the outside.
   "any tappings that aren't being used on the cylinder can be fitted with screwed blanks"
   
   
   
   
2. 2.
   informal
   in a difficult or hopeless situation; ruined or broken.

Did they give you a timeframe for your recovery before you had the op LS?

They tell you that you go back in 6 weeks to have the test to check your new bladder has healed, then they take the tubes and bags out. They don't tell you how you'll be in those 6 weeks! Then supposedly you can be back yo work in 2-3 months.

I met a lady in hospital who is now a friend. She is 8 weeks post op, so 3 weeks ahead of me. Had essentially same as me done. She was rushed back into surgery after 10 or so days with a huge infection to her wound. She still has an open wound now, and she has a leak, not from a stoma bag (she doesn't have one, different surgeon) but from somewhere within, so is almost permanently leaking urine into an open wound. In the last week they also thought she had a clot in her calf, but thankfully she doesn't. So whilst I've been through the mill, it's nothing compared to her.

I know everyone recovers differently. I think the anaemia hampered mine a lot in the beginning. That's a lot more under control now. The other tweeting issues are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things. What's difficult is the lack of mobility, I still can't reaaly bend because of all the stuff in my tummy, so even just that makes recovery difficult. Plus the complex nature of my surgery, there was an awful lot of stuff they did to my insides in the 10 hours I was on the table! :eek:

Believe it or not this recovery has gone way better than last year for the simple reasons I'm not in agony and I don't need a wee! Two great reasons to be thankful.

Sorry, that went on way too long.

Rockingham, hope you have a lovely birthday. :beer:

LS, get it out of your system.

You have come a long way, and, as you say, you are not in constant pain now, and things could certainly be far worse

Good morning all...

Didnt partake in the glitching yesterday,as I'm trying to run down the stocks I have a little before adding more,but thanks to all who took time to find and test them....it feels as if the collective elite mojo might be returning.

Lovely to read savvys post yesterday too...sometimes a hard read but very thought provoking and a great insight to the workings of whats within......The elite teach me far more than just shopping.

Good luck today cjj....will be thinking of you

Lovely holiday pics from TM and cake pic from PD...Thanks both...

On the subject of mince pies they are clearly getting everywhere,they had packs in M when I was there on sunday.....and I have just booked our christmas meal for December so I guess we are now on the countdown to crimbo...

....and do I take the spare un used toilet roll from a hotel room...Yes every time!!!

Have a great day all.
