Hi guys
As you know I had a slight stroke in October, well the doctors have given me a datew to go in for operation to clear the vein where there was some other blockage, it is on friday 18th May. But I to go in on thursday 17th @2pm and will be in for a few days, so I'm sure Willy will keep you informed as to how things went
-
Good luck Scotty , just make sure they do not take the new vein from your friend Willy ha ha , God bless from Sujuan and Robert .
-
I will keep my fingers crossed though I shouldn't have to. You should not worry it has become an common procedure. Good Luck, bring a horse shoe with you?
-
I hope you do well and the can clear it alright.
-
Hi there, Robbie ^^'
Take care and I'll keep fingers crossed for you.
Btw, I will try to find some nurses phone numbers and ask them to take care of you when you'll be at the hospital :)
-
In my thoughts and prayers Robbie-you'll be back up on the horse soon
-
I would love you to take some of my blood Robbie. Just imagine you could have some more kids and you could then see me in everyone of them. ;D
Thank goodness I will be back in China by then otherwise you will want me to visit with a bag of grapes.
Willy

Best wishes Rob......all will be OK
David

I send you a good luck/get well again soon Card, but the post office said they don't deliver to Scotland from my House. Anyway, wish you the best and a fast recovery.. but try not to think about Willy too much.. as this will slow down the healing.
-
All the best Robbie, dont watch any Scottish international football in the hospital :D
-
Good luck mate, all will be well I am sure. Do not oogle the nurses too much, you do not want to get the heart racing for a while.......
-
Best Wishes for a speedy recovery! :) Robert

Hahaha Robert :D ;D ;D
-
Best wishes Robbie, We hope the problem gets sorted and have a speedy recovery, MinYing and John. :)
-
Thanks for all the wishes guys..much appreciated :D
-
Good Luck Robbie. I hope all will be well. If Willy sees you in the hospital make sure he changes out a bed pan or two.
-
Willy turned up at mine today, ;D ;D, so this has really cheered me up...Looking forward to the next few days in his company, but he refuses to empty the bedpans >:( 8 :o :o ;D ;D

Maybe I should explain this. He uses bedpans because he cannot sit on the toilet without a stepadder. ;D He has not ironed my washing so no bed pan emptying. ;D
Seriouly though if he does not sit down soon and stop scurrying around I will tie him to a chair. He is like a dynamo - the mighty atom - never stops. How they are going to keep in down in hospital I will never know.

Rob,
I pulled some strings and got you your own personal nursing team. 8)

You are correct Robert. The one I saw here when I arrived was just like these. But all 4 rolled into one!!! ;D What is it with him with 6 feet tall heavy women!!! :-X
Willy
-
Willy, I found him the perfect nurse to handle him, uh sorry I meant handle his case! ;)

Rob, did everything come out OK? NO, I'm not talking about the bed pan! ::)
Willy you might need to tie one of his feet to the bed with a short leash.
-
Allt the best and good luck.

Not went in yet, going on Thursday, having op on Friday 18th.
Name of Operation is Carotid Endarterectomy, will be in for five days after it, on condition I don't take a stroke and die, which pamphlet says happens 1 in 3 out of 100 don't survive :o So as you can imagine not feeling too excited about having it done...
only saying what pamphlet tells me
-
I just read up on it a little Rob. My prayers will be with you. It isn't that you need them but a little prayer here and there can help.
I look forward to reading more from you after the surgery is over.
Shaun
-
Worry you may but look on the bright side mate 97% survive. You will be working with me for a long while to come.
Willy
-
well today to take my mind off hospital, I painted all the doors and woodwork in the house, now settled in bed ready for morning, hope to sleep tonight ;D
-
Now...let's get these statistics right, and in perspective....
1 in 3 out of 100.....this means 99% survival......
3 out of every 100...this means 97 % survival.....
Either way, compare it to deaths in air crashes.........1 in 11,000,000 passenger kilometers....
Or, in motor accidents.....1 in 27,000 passenger Kilometers...
Or smokers dying of cancer.......1 in 1100.....
Or, people dying of old age...100 in 100 !!!!!!!!!
Eiter way, something is gonna get you in the end ;D ;D
So quit worying, relax, you wont feel a thing and when you wakeup...it's a new life.
Seriously....good luck Rob, I will be thinking of you
Cheers...David
-
well today to take my mind off hospital, I painted all the doors and woodwork in the house, now settled in bed ready for morning, hope to sleep tonight ;D
I just hope your son Matthew came round and painted the top 1/3 of the doors. ;D
Like David's list says its more likely that the smoking will get you first. ::)
So I expect a text as soon as you come round.
Willy
-
Well thats me settled into ward 37. brought my conp with me so can let you know whats happening :o
Oh these lovely nurses ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Don't forget to ask those nurses for a little stress therapy 8)
The rest want understand this but after the op try not to play your comp violin style for a few days.
And dont unplug any machinery to plug the comp in. It may be important. ;D

-
Mmmm? be happy your not leaving the hospital with breast implants because they had the wrong file.
-
Could have been worse than that Vince. That hospital does Gender change operations. But just in case I will chat on phone with him later just to be sure his voice has not risen an octave or two. ;D

Ok guys as you know the op got cancelled, later today I've to go for another heart scan then call the surgeon so he knows its been done. well this morning I got my new date for surgery, its to be done on the 7th june
So as has been mentioned I will not be over-thinking things.
-
Hi Robbie
My wife says it may be an idea to get that 5rmb back from you before you go in for the op.
Well you know how practical these women are. ;D
Keep your chin up mate. ::)
We need somewhere to visit in September.
Willy
-
Good luck Rob. I'll pray for you again.
-
Hi Robbie ;) so, it's not time yet for you to be operated?
Anyway, all our prayers will be with you ;)
by the way, if you can take some pics with you and your lovely nurses ... just give me a sign :D
-
Hey Robbie, All the best for the opp, We all wish you well, MinYing and John.
-
You Hope for this...
But get this?
-
Vince you got them wrong way round. I think he would go for number 2 through choice.
Willy
-
got scan, everything ok for op to be carried out...no blood clots in heart and valves opening ok... :D So as can imagine really pleased about that
-
Robbie , we might take up a collection so that Willy can visit and look after the nurses whilst you are asleep , would hate for your 2 nurses to wander ha ha , especially the second one .
-
hahahaha ;D ;D
-
Best of luck for tomorrow mate.
Willy
Just one more thing. How about having your laptop on video cam so we can all watching this 'cutting' news.
Willy
-
Well I'm back, I got the operation done, went in to theatre at 1.30 and came out at 6.45 and taken to recovery room. Today I was sent home from hospital, as I had eaten some toast and been walking about ok, the doc said I should make a full recovery
-
Maybe we should combine this thread with the 'To Cut or Not To Cut' thread. ;D
I guess by the happy tone you are looking forward to that special bed bath.
Willy
-
Very good, now I can exhale. Still take it easy for a while no running around back and forth.
-
That is great news Robbie , just take it easy for a while as it can take up to 7 days for a general to get out of your system , regards Sujuan and Robert .
-
Whises for å speedy recovery from Norway. All the best. Glad to read it was succesfull.
-
Glad to hear everything went well Rob.
-
I am still waiting for Robbie to post pictures of the nurse that finally administered Bed Pan care ::)
-
??? let see... I think he can't remember one thing that went on after the Dr. left :P or he just wont tell us :-X ?
Best wishes for a speedy recovery !
-
Robbie, that is wonderful news. I have been watching your story quietly without comment. I am happy the procedure went well and you are going to recover. I want to welcome you to GZ the next time you visit China.
I want to read up on your condition and the procedure. what is it called?
Good luck , Gerry
-
I think the condition may have been 'getting it in the neck from Willy'
I think a long rest is the only treatment now.
Willy
-
well its been a week now since outta hospital I finally got to look at th scar thats left...it runs from just underneath my right ear and under my jaw along my neck where my adams apple sits :-X
-
Well, Glad your home. Did they find what they expected and remove it? Are you recovered or need more time? Are they finished with you?
-

Damn and Blast! I paid them to start at the carotid. Can't even trust English doctors now.
Willy
-
Robbie , now what use is it with only half a face lift , you should have paid them the other 5 pounds , for the other side , glad you are on the mend , regards Sujuan and Robert .
-
Well, Glad your home. Did they find what they expected and remove it? Are you recovered or need more time? Are they finished with you?
Tey opened thee vein and removed all the gunk. will take a few more weeks to recover fully. as far as I know they are finished with me
-

-

Yes Shaun, I'm fine thanks
-
Yes Shaun, I'm fine thanks

b. his is fine
Glad to read you are coming out the other side of surgery now Robbie, if you think your brains are leaking out stick a finger into your ear, that should stop the flow...... ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
If his brains are leaking, sticking a finger in his ear would not do much good......darent say where he should stick it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope all is well and your prognosis is perfect
Cheers...David

I think I will leave that to your imagination Shaun.....
Too much information can be dangerous !!!

I think we should tell all those scientist that it is not Higgs bosun its scottish robs gunk caught upon the scientists machinery
Willy

used for the good of mankind !!! ;D ;D

Dont knock it Willy !!!!
The actual proof of the existence of the Higgs Boson Particle takes science back to one Billionth of a Second after the big bang. Without the Higgs Particle being confirmed, much of what the Universe is all about was missing.
I would go as far as to say that finally we have reached the point where Science and Religion come together.....and that is very difficult for me to say, as you know ;D ;D ;D
From here on in, to go any further backwards into what happened BEFORE the Higgs Particles can only be explained by religion....or some other Science we know nothing about.
Stupendous discovery....IMHO ;D ;D

Why the F... did that Higgs not stick around and tell us all when he had the chance? My did we have to build a line of washing machines to find his Particles? Why do we want to know how it began? ::) Even the BBC was playing the 'fun' card on this. As one said 'its nice to know where it all started but most people want to know if they will still have a job next month'

I actually saw Mr Higgs on TV last night. He is alive and 83 years old so us oldies must stick together! So good on you Higgsie. You sure got me and 99% of the world baffled. So tell us how, all those millions of years ago, they built a twenty five mile long underground machine to create our planet. I mean there was no Chinese Workers to do it then! :o
Willy
-

maybe there was no outsourcing back then......sounds like scientology gobbledygook to me.

Ok...I will have one more go at this...then I will slink away and leave you to your musings ;D ;D
The point of all this "science" or "scientology" as Jason put it is simply to aquire fundamental knowlege about "what it all means"
If this does not interest you, fair enough and if I am the only one intereted, fair enough for me !!!!
The point I was trying to make echos your question in some ways........"so tell us how, all these millions (see BILLIONS) of years ago etc etc."
Well....there were no Chinese workers, there were no planets, there were no Galaxies...or people, or Macdonalds...or anything.
The only answer to this question will come (as I tried to say) from a Science we know nothing about,...or from God.........
Now I will shut up....thank goodness I hear you say ;D ;D ;D
-

Ok now I understand. That particle was worked and and took 6 days to form into Earth and then there was a rest on the 7th.
