doug Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 had the op last night. did arrive in plenty of time on wed am at 7:50. because they were busy i ws parked in a side room so missed the doctors rounds. they thought i hadn't turned up so my morning cut slot was used on someone else. after i was found the created a slot for the afternoon but overan because of complications with an earlier case. so went on yesterdays aftrenoon list and was done. apparently it was bad, things were hanging by a thread, so i've been plated and casted. somewhat imbile - so good excuse for typo's. :D if i do it again i will lose the elbow! i was only following physio's orders efore and after the knock which had sprung the wires out.further sad news no.1 g'son is in sureryu now as i type nasty abcess on his bot which keeps recurring. chris (private smith) and kath are there now. think of the chaps not a good time at present.
