At last the news we've all been waiting for. I don't think I've ever been so pleased to hear about a fart.
What happens next? 
Please do not make me laugh. I still have stitches (well, staples as it happens).
Finally I have connected the 3G as I am now tubeless for the first time for some time and able to sit in the chair for long enough to reconnect to the rest of the planet.
What happens next is that when the lump has been anaysed then they have a departmental pow-wow on Friday, during which my future treatment (and others' of course) is discussed and decided upon. As Mme la surgeon managed to get all of it, and remove both the deseased and other redunant part of my anatomy, this is unlikely to be anything like as agressive as was imagined before the op' but so far I'm in the dark. I don't suppose that it will be nice but there were times over the last few weeks when the news was expected to be far, far worse so I'm pretty upbeat given the circs.
Thanks to you all so much for your messages of support - you cannot know how much these mean to both Mr T and me.
I will get round to the PMs, I promise, but I have to take it easy for a bit as I've only been eating solid food for 24 hours so things are still a bit knackering.
Love to all, Deb
Excellent! You have tubeless 3G broadband. Well Monsieur Michelin invented the tubeless tyre, so why not tubeless broadband.
That sounds like very good news. But what I still don't understand, and perhaps I'm being thick here, is why they weren't able to analyse the removed items until after you'd farted?
Is it to do with French manners? Whatever, this is how I see things unfolded, perhaps following a light luncheon of smoked horse broth with haricotes blanche...
Deb - "My compliments to the surgeon"
Deb's derriere - "PARP!" (wafts blankets to prove she's not cheating a la Petomain)
Nurse - "Ah merci madame, chef will now analyze ze uterus"
Nurse opens window, exits stage left (running) with a "zut alors!"
Or am I misunderstanding something?
