Finally Going In For My Operation After A 23 Month Wait!
 

Originally it was booked for April 9th but was sent home after 3.5hrs due to no beds.:eek:

Then I had the date extended to Friday the 13th September except I had a belter of a cold and couldn't go in, so I was given a new date 8th October.

Unfortunately I received a phone call from Torbay Hospital Admissions on the 4th October saying that was no good so it was rebooked for the 11 October at 7.30am.

I will be leaving home via taxi at 6.30am.

Will be in for a few days no doubt, at least the food isn't bad but you don't get much sleep.

Then when they finally let me out depending on what type of surgery I have had will determine the length of time that I am not allowed to drive for.
Hopefully it will be keyhole surgery which is a much shorter recovery time, if it's major surgery then it's 3 months of no driving and 9 months recovery for me.

Good luck Neil, let’s hope it’s key hole and you’ll be back on your feet sooner rather than later.

Good luck at Torbay Hospital.

So do I Bob.

I don't want this operation really but because I have been suffering with gallstones the gallbladder has to come out.

Every show that I put my name down for this year it has wrecked, plus a few others with another club I'm a member of.

I haven't been able to do one single show!:eek:

Good Luck with the op but don't read my sig :getmecoat:

LOL I bet you are much better without it, I know I will be.

Good Luck, all the best. Chris.S.

Good luck, hope all goes as planned.

Wishing you all the best for your op and speedy recovery :}

I was diagnosed with a gallstone about 6 weeks ago, but not doing anything about it. Thankfully it doesn’t bother me, I had two episodes over a period of around 2 months of severe stomach cramps, but none since.Being self employed and a sole trader, I can’t afford to be off work for any length of time.
Good luck Neil.
