Take care, all the best.

[zuriblue]

All the best Mr K. and wishing you a speedy recovery.

[Watchman]

Take care Mr K, hope all goes well, These surgeon jonnies know what their doing

[Youngian]

So, we salivate at the prospect of five days of IV rocket-drugs and a well-documented suite of side-effects

Enjoy

[kreuzberger]

Thank you for the kind words. The hangovers were not a result of the drugs wiring me to Jupiter. Rather, a "just because". Something of a let down.

Ho hum. We'll see whether that all means that the saws and titanium can be stood down. Time will tell.

First op of the year, this morning.

(Remedial work on the right leg arteries.)

Should be back on line by Wednesday, although here seems reasonably stable at the moment.

[Oboogie]

Hope all goes smoothly, Kreuzie, and wishing you a speedy recovery.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Good luck old bean - hope all is successful.

[zuriblue]

Hope it goes well Kreuzie.

[Samanfur]

Good luck and get well soon, Kreuzie!

[lambswool]

Wishing you all the best, kreuzie.

[Spoonman]

All the best, Kreuz.

[Bones McCoy]

Best wishes, hope it all goes according to plan.

[Watchman]

Hope all goes well Mr K

[kreuzberger]

Well. I'm back online and touched by all the kind and thoughtful wishes. Thank you!

I have had better weeks, to be honest. Just as the arterial work was being finalised, summat popped and there were two embolisms to contend with. This meant that another surgeon was rushed in to help shore up the defences. Scan the fuckers, cut in, and scoop them out before they could wreak their havoc.

How do I know this? Because it was done under local and I could witness the panic stations from closer that I would ordinarily have preferred.

Anyway, all is well. No stroke, no heart attack, a right leg that works, and some very, very bruised nethers. The main surgeon is reasonably pleased with the outcome, and she and the Kreuzette are getting on like a house on fire. Things could have been worse.

So, I am back down there on June 1st to schedule the second, final, and much smaller phase of this procedure. I have asked for laughing-gas next time to top up my oxycodone breakfast.

I am not looking forward to it, to be brutally honest.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Ugh.
Hang in there!

[kreuzberger]

Yay, tomorrow's Monday so that means... More. Surgery. Again!

This time on the left leg, just to keep it mixed up and interesting, albeit having failed miserably to get the NOx wheeled out for the duration. (My bastard right radial artery collapsed on Friday and the left one is a mess, so Christ knows where they will be squirting the happy juice...)

I'll be dark until Wednesday but will still be arsing about on my lappy if needs be. @Malcolm Armsteen can hit me up if anything breaks.

[Abernathy]

@Kreuzberger Break a leg, man !

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Will do. Fair winds and happy landings, Kreuz.

[Watchman]

You take care Mr K…..what do you mean, you don’t like grapes!
