A week after the Opp
Permalink  

It's a week now since I had the operation to expand the Arteries down both legs,

I wouldn't wish that Op on anyone especially if it is done under local anesthetic like mine was,

they managed to numb my legs alright, but never killed the pain,

it felt just like a couple of red hot needles going right down the inside of both legs , "sheer bloody hell"   bleh bleh bleh

this morning I had a post opp visit to the specialist, they gave me a scan just to see how well they went,

Not that good I'm afraid, the left leg still has a large blockage plus the pain I have been having in my right hip,

is caused by another blockage in my upper groin,

"AH" to hell with the quacks, went out yesterday and bought our 40th caravan, now all I'm worrying about is getting back on the road

and seeing the Wildflowers up North before they fade away.  biggrin  biggrin  biggrin

By the way,  a month with-out a smoke now, but I could still kill for one at times.  disbelief

Congrats on the smoke free month and bugger about the other stuff.
Hook onto that new caravan and get out there, you can start by coming to our get together on the 6/7th Sept up here near Seabird on your way to look at wildflowers. The flowers are just starting to come out up here now but it has been a tad too cold and wet but spring is on its way and so are the flowers.
