Oh, look, I got censored! LOL, that never happened to me before!

Hi girls, thanks for your words, they really mean a lot. I gotta get a grip and stop this urge to stop every woman in the street with a "pot belly" and ask them to go to the Dr. straight away, sigh.

Well, a quick update, just got back from seeing my Professor and he is just the loveliest man - all smiles, even made a joke or two, but deadly serious when needed. The first thing he said when he put my films up on his lightboard was, "Wow, that's impressive!", yikes!!!

He said he'll tell me what he "feels" my tribe of Aliens look like once he's evicted them, but we won't know conclusively until tests come back the following week.

Darn it, he says my sleeping 18 hours a day is down to sleep apneoa, probably nothing to do with these darn squatters, grrr.

I'm being admitted to hospital this afternoon for surgery tomorrow (2 days earlier than expected) and I'm right annoyed because I'm only halfway through jerkying my furkids liver, kidneys & steak, so He Who Must NOT Be Obeyed is going to have to finish & do the next lot (which is all cut up & ready thank goodness). He's in a bleedin' tizz-wazz about that, and is wretching from the smell of the liver, bless him.

So, I guess I'll be checking in earlier than expected and, am pleased to report, I will then be a fully continent woman able to travel further than 15' from a bathroom, giggles! Father Alien was crushing my poor 'ol bladder.

Seriously girls, if in doubt, get it checked out!!! Because I put this off for 2 years, it could've turned ugly, AND now, instead of having simple keyhole surgery & out the very next day, I've got to go the full huge ruddy cut operation, hospitalised for at least a week, with recovery time jumping to 12 weeks, pfft, I hate myself sometimes.

Dee, your outlook on life always amazes me, you're one cool gal. I love the way
you view things. I hope your surgery goes smoothly, I wish you a very speedy
recovery. Please take your time to rest after surgery, do no rush to do things,
it can all wait. You'll be in my thoughts. Remember to shave your legs prior to
surgery, you just never know, one of the Doctors might be cute.

I love you girl, chat soon! Hugs.

Dee I have been thinking of you having your surgery today. I hope, everything went well. Post when you can so we know your ok. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I tend not to go to the doctor because we have a $7000.00 deductible then our insurance will pay 80%. What's the good of having it right. I'll be checking in on you often. Xxx
