catgate Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well I feel sure that based on the results of the right hand she is going to find a new lease of life whithin the next few months. I base this on the fact that if the left hand operation is not successful she now has a very good right hand for gripping a snooker cue. So coupling the patience she has gained through living with you for donkeys year, to a left hand that looks perfect for a "bridge", she could be world champion in Sheffield next year.Anyhowup, I wish her well.

andsome Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 The phone rang this morning. My heart sank when the young lady said she was Mr Boorah's secretary and asked to speak to 'Er indoors. Our first thought was 'oh no, it's cancelled'. In fact, she said that the surgeon was not too happy with the replacement joints and had ordered replacements. The operation was due tomorrow morning, and we had to arrive at 7-30 a m, but this is now put back to Wednesday at 12-30 p.m. This time will suit us much better. She said that he wanted time for the replacements to be delivered, and for him to examine them. She can now have a light breakfast before 7.a.m. :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The surgeon is happy with the results. Although this hand was no where near as bad as the right hand, it proved to be a more difficult job. Unfortunately as she has to take warfarin, and the balance in her system is not quite right yet she has had to stay in. She has had another blood test this morning, and if the result is better she can come home. If not, it's another night in hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hope you've scrubbed all the floors for her andsome. Would be rather chauvinistic to leave it all for her when she comes home. Hope it's soon and give her these from all of us here:- :flowers: :flowers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 That is good news. Not only for you both but for all the top snooker players, who must have been quaking in their boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 A little more puffiness this time than on the right hand. Despite not looking so bad before the operation, he had to cut away far more bone growth, and there was a lot of swelling in the fingers before the operation. He is very pleased though and confident of a good outcome. That man deserves a medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalph Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looking good andsome. Please give her my regards and I hope she makes a speedy recovery.If I where you I'd start going down the gym and get yourself whipped into shape.

andsome Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Best wishes to her. Looks painful.............Surprisingly little pain again. I think arthritis sufferers build up a pain tolerance. Nothing that eight paracetamol a day can't keep in check. Thanks for all the good wishes folks. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
