    You did make me smile @[Deleted User]. ‘CKD’ means ‘complete knock down’ to me - from my days at Kenwood Mixers/ Thorn Domestic Appliances. Staff could buy machines from the staff shop that had been returned faulty then taken to bits by hand and rebuilt. 

    I still have a ckd Kenwood Chef!

    would've . . . could've . . . should've . . .

    I hope I haven’t offended you. 

    I had no idea it was something serious not a subject for jokes. Ironic really as I have my yearly scan next week. Had surgery in 2021 to remove one of my kidneys (kidney cancer). 

    Wishing you all the best for your move.

    No you haven't, so please don't worry. I often say "I haven't had a pee for over 30 years", simply because of two major abdominal surgery's, which ultimately left me with a urostomy. Then after bowel screening that I nearly didn't have, finished up with an ileostomy too. Then I said "I felt like baa baa black sheep with two bags full. ". The latter op was reversed thankfully.
