Before my hospital appointment today, double arthroscopy, lol.
Hope you are up to pocket duties. I'm soooooo tired, hardly slept last night, was in a lot of pain after the weekend...
My appointment is at eleven, surgery is set for the afternoon shift so starve from six this morning. My beautiful & lovely missus is maki ng me a cuppa right now & a bacon sarnie.... She's a good un. My folks have come up from Skeggy for a few days to help out for a bit. I'm staying in tonight. It's normally day surgery but as I'm having both done & I struggle with my hands the surgeon said he'd keep me in.
I've had so many wonderful good luck wishes from wonderful folks... Even got a card in the post from one special pal....
Thank you in advance for the support I've grown used to. You are a great bunch of arthurites...
If I get signal on the ward I may post m if not give me till I get home.....

Don't worry about not sleeping, Tony. You can catch up this afternoon.
Hope it all goes well and those poor knees of yours can get some relief.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Again Tonby
I was allowed my last drink 2 hours before the procedure...but no food
What was waiting for me afterwards was coffee.....I'm a coffeeholic and toast and honey
Once again....good luck...will be looking out for your net post
Love

The last supper.....Good luck Tony. I hate all that waiting around for the op. It is going without drink that bothers me with my closed, dry throat.The anaethesist gave me a sponge to wet my lips pre-op and boy did I need it but a nice cold drink would have been much better.
Hope it all goes well.

Hey gorgeous! The very best of luck for today Tony mate, I am thinking of you and Janet very much indeed, I hope all goes well and that you are back with us all sooner rather than later. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Best of luck Tony, will be thinking of you.
Hope all goes smoothly - couple of weeks ago I was in Day Surgery about to be 'taken down' for a wrist arthroscopy when the fire alarm goes off! :shock: Everything put on hold for about 45 mins, but thankfully it was a false alarm and had been triggered off inadvertently.
That first cuppa when you come round tastes like nectar doesn't it? - remember to take biccies for dunking
Remember to rest, rest and rest some more in the next few days (easier said than done, I know) :???:0 -
Good luck, Tony! Thinking of you. x0
