He's back at home and fine following his gall bladder removal.
It certainly seems a popular operation at the moment. Is there anyone else out there about to have it done so we've got the set?

Strategicaly shaved, itchy, bruised, unable to cough, grumpy bear, that sort of OK. 
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

The puzzling thing is that we've both had the same operation but appear to have a different number of incisions in different places. Are mens' insides totally different to womens'?

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear Alan, i think it was an eccentric professor, and my recollection of the difference, was that women had bigger bottoms because they sit down more.
What, what have i said wrong.

such warm and caring thoughts.
Now sans dressings on instructions of GP Nurse and well "yellow and purple are just so this year aren't they Chantal?"
As for the holes, I was unconcious at the ime (thankfully) but believe they went something like ....
Hole 1 in side, or leading edge of belly 1" to 2" higher than navel, was for a grasper and is diddy, looks more like a teenage spot with a big bruise underneath.
Hole 2 just on top of navel is about 1" to 1&1/4" long, horizontal and used for a camera and light, plus tools?
Hole 3 2" below sternumis about 1&1/2" long, horizontal and used to inflate me with CO2 to allow room to rummage.
Hole 4 was a slice in the skin on the neck sinew just above the collarbone to remove a sparrow egg sized cyst.
Again, thank you all for the kinf wishes.
