Just got my puter back from six days in intensive care.
I managed to get it up and running awhile back, but when it fell over and even though self recovered, I thought that it would not be "Lucky Third Time", so took it to the emergency department.
Seem Windows 10 got lost and wandered beyond the realms of satellite tracking.
The birds even ate the stale bread crumbs set out to enable a retrace - sigh....
And, on another note; first of all, thanks again to all the well wishers.
WARNING: VERY LONG AND PERSONAL BECAUSE I WAS ASKED, -but I don't mind if you want to know, otherwise cya on another thread.
"
We naturally respect your privacy ...."
If you've ever been to hospital you would know there is no such thing.
Everything, .... literally EVERYTHING is laid out bare for the world. Good thing I'm not too prudish.
Just a bit of back story and I'll proceed;
A week after my operation fella came in Friday arvo to the bed next to me an was overheard describing his symptoms to a mate while on the phone saying, "mate I got this pain and such and such, but don't have a clue what it is."
Well I knew right away, because I'd BTDT - several times.
Surgeon doesn't work on week ends, but come Monday mid morning he was operated on and went home after lunch minus his gallbladder.
GALLBLADDER! Are you kidding me! That's nothing!
Yes - correct.
However, I presented to hospital in March 30th this year and was sent home with instructions to see my GP for a scan for a potential folded bowel. Got gall stones sez he. Wot now sez I? Operate to remove or leave em sez he. I choose number 2.
Suffered massive stomach for four nights and called an ambulance on the 11th November, the forth night.
Sent home again!
Two nights later November 13th back to hospital and this time they keep me, but now my gallbladder was toast and scheduled for removal November 15th.
I was extremely fortunate to get away with key-hole surgery, but the surgeon said, "
I did a SUB removal - just the front half, because your bladder was in such poor shape it could not be fully remove without endangering vital organs behind which you don't want to happen".
They were not happy with the drainage, so sent me to a top-notch fella who put in a stint that redirected the flow.
This guy has kudos at the hospital even though young. Exudes professionalism and without song or dance, asked me, "
Why has this (bladder removal)
been left so long?" Dunno sez I, but I could tell he was livid - not with me, but the system.
After two weeks in captivity and with lower drain removed, I was sent home packing a plastic bag on my side.
Saw the surgeon December 13 and I asked, "would I be wrong is saying this was a serious operation?" and she said Yes!.
Asked that we give removing the second drain little more time. Agreed and she ordered a scan followed up with another appointment scheduled for the triple witching Friday 17th.
December 17th, scan clear, bag clear - let's do this, and the drain is GONE!
One more appointment to go on the 24th and I should be a free man.
Thanks everybody, your concern everybody - it means the world to me.
