Granny's Back!
Permalink  

Now you'll all have to behave yourselves - I'm back. biggrin.gif

Minus one faulty body part, I'm back on deck and healing.
My recovery has been much quicker and successful then my specialist and surgeon anticipated.
I no longer need 8 potassium tablets a day, and I only take half a blood pressure tablet, twice a day, eventually this will be zero. I was taking 4 blood pressure tablets twice a day before the op.
I already feel better, but still a little tired while I heal.
I have to return to the hospital for follow up tests in March, but as far as the surgeon is concerned, I'm "cured".

I thank everyone who sent wishes and thoughts. Believe me, they all made a difference when I was feeling apprehensive about the surgery.
The PA Hospital in Brisbane was great, even the food was good for hospital food. The staff are positive and very supportive. Overall, a great experience, as far as surgery goes. Thanks one and all. Chris

Good to see you back Granny. Not having to take all those meds would put a real spark back in your distributor one would imagine...

Yeah it will be all good from now on.

Now about that chest and its hair - Is it necessary to have a hairy chest? How do you graw hair on a chest?
As a pirate I would have thought it would be a nuisance having to access treasures from a hairy chest.

On behalf of Ducky and myself,we wish to thank you for your cooperation when you woke up during your op after the anestheist fell asleep.The look in your eyes said it all.fear,pain,doubt,were never evident even when when Father O'Malley came in to give you the last rites.The absoloute faith in Dr Duck and Veterarian Ibbo have made our decision to name you as "Patient of the year"all that much easier.We hope that we may be of service to you again.Cheers.Dr Ducky and Vet Ibbo.Ps Thank you for the work experience.Hey Chris great to see you are on the mend.

Great Stuff, Chris.smile

That's a really good Xmas tale  biggrin

Sorry to put you to work so soon but we really do need someone with a firm hand to put a couple of ex-mariners and a smokeydk back in line.hmm

A certain saw sharpening, header driving, super sociable "looker after" of whole neighbourhoods showed evidence of having developed a touch of hyper-garrulousness, too.disbelief

Firefly and Ma did their best to maintain a touch of decorum (as well as decor), but to little avail, I fear.no

Mr. Wilson demonstrated a trace of deviance for a while but, thanks to the goodness of Gracie he's getting back on the rails again.aww

So, out with the lash, Granny and whip them into some semblance of order before Cindy has a apoplectic fit.blankstare

Merry(ier) Xmas biggrin

"hyper-garrulousness" me and the duck are studying our dictionaries to find the meaning of that,

when found there may be much gnashing of falsys or praise whatever we deem correct at the time, but rest assured there will be a reckoning!

Gnashing falsies can be painful, no matter where the falsies are.
And in the case of teeth, the dentist likes gnashed falsies too.
Now you SA blokes, I'm on my way on Wednesday, so you'll have to be nice to me and everyone else, or I'll have to inflict my wrath upon you all. Grrrr!!!
You just never know when I turn up with my wrath.
If you all assemble at Pt. Wakefield we could discuss all this rationally, with or without wrath.
Unless there's a bridge across the Gulf St. Vincent from Adelaide to Stansbury.
Keep it nice now you fella's, just for Christmas and New Year, and it's compulsory to have fun and share it.

talking about false teeth, granny block your ears, should that be eyes, oh just dont read it!

did you hear about the elderly couple who were about to make love, halfway through the gentleman was busting for the loo so he got up to go but unbeknown to him he lost his falsies under the covers

the female in the meantime sat on them and they journeyed into the nether regions, the gentleman came back faster than expected and continued his original plan

however his "gentlemanly anatomy" became wedged in his false teeth that had found it's way into his ladys nether regions

he raced out the door to find his son making love to a lovely young girl on the lounge, on his way past with the false teeth stuck to his doolackey he screamed out to his son

"FOR CHRIST SAKE GET THEM WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG SON, THEY GROW TEETH WHEN THEY GET OLDER"

all right I apoligise, but I thought it was funny!

Good on ya Chris!!.  Hey, did you think of donating the body part you had removed to someone else who didn't have that part at all??  Even second hand parts requiring an overhaul might be good for something.   


P.S. If this note sounds silly please make reference to the nine hundred and thirteen beers I have had at my daughters place.   Happy Christmasssssssssssssssss
