Sent you a pm but you never acknowledged it, you miserable bastard. I hope everything goes well tomorrow 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I wouldn't acknowledge you either. Scouse reprobate.

[Doctor Gollum]

He's probably got a lot on his mind on the eve of his op. Doesn't stop him from being in our thoughts

[Raeturbo]

Yes let’s hope he’s just being his usual horrible self and he’s not under the knife just yet 😀

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

What is wrong with him?.....or is he just malingering.

"I had an appointment at Romford hospital today.
84 mile round trip for a five minute appointment. Blood pressure, blood tests and MRSA test prior to being admitted next Weds to have my head fixed.
Might wake up speaking Swahili but will cross that bridge if I come to it. 
Going to have platinum in my head, so a bit worried about swmbo trying to pull it out through my ear while Im asleep. 

They fill the Aneurysum with tiny little Platinum coils, and then maybe fit a stent to bypass it as well.  "

[Sir Tigger KC]

I wonder if he'll be able to tune into Radio 2 with those platinum coils?     

Hope it's all going well for him!

Someone called ? 

Went down to Romford Tues night and stayed in a Travelodge rather than get up in the middle of the night to be at the hospital for 0730.
As expected I could have turned up at the Hospital at noon and it wouldnt have made any difference, but thats Hospitals for you.
Didnt take the laptop, so been offline until just now.
Swmbo was able to stay in the Travelodge a second night while I was in Hospital overnight last night.
The op involved inserting a tube type thing into the artery in my groin (same as they do for heart stents) which then went up to my brain stem where the Aneurysm is.
Then filled the Aneurysm with tiny Platinum coils to stop it filling with blood, pressurising and bursting.
Ive been nagging them to send me home since 8am, but finally got discharged at 2.30.
Doc said he would sign me off work for 6 weeks. I told him to stop talking silly, Im back in work next Friday, so he did as he was told. 

Edited to add - while I was asleep I had a Catheter fitted. Christ that was horrible. I kicked off and made them take it out as soon as I was properly awake.Hurt like hell as it came out and the first couple of times I pee,d it was like p1ssing glass.

You are now living in the world of 'proper old people stuff'

Seriously though, I'm glad you are feeling more chipper.

[Doctor Gollum]

Job well jobbed

Uncle admitted this morning in similar circumstances.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

On 75mg of Aspirin a day (on top of my BP meds) for six weeks. Then go a for a scan to check all is well in six months time.
Hopefully its job jobbed now.
A bloke I worked with until he retired a while back had an Aneurysm burst which almost killed him over 20 years ago.
He had the same procedure that I just had and he is still going strong, so hopefully Im sorted now.
Will always worry a little I suppose when I feel a headache coming on, but such is life.
Got to take it easy for the next week - no lifting anything heavy etc. as the wound in the Artery is filled with a little rubber bung which should drop out of its own accord.
If it comes out too early it will be a Claret fountain. Also have to apply pressure on it with my hand if coughing, sneezing or straining on the loo. 
Its no fun getting old. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Glad to hear you're still with us Albs, and with platinum at $954.40 an ounce you've certainly shot up the OOF Rich List!     

[BazaJT]

Good to hear all went well for you. Speedy recovery

I probably have about $9.54 worth in my head. 

Cheers Sir Tigger.
