Last year on 14th May I was rushed to hospital to have an emergency op due to an encapsulated hernia just above my navel (Got to admit I was more worried that I would miss LM due to the recommended 6 weeks converlessing than the actual operation!!! bearing in mind I am terrified of anything medical to boot

) Anyway, the operation was carried out on the morning of the 15th May with no problems, furthermore a speedy recovery was made and I was able to attend and fully enjoy LM 2008.

Now heres the spooky bit....2 months ago my wife complained of pains in her stomach, so after a couple of weeks playing the Martyr she visits the Doctors and low and behold she has been told she has a hernia!! My better half is promptly put on the waiting list for the op and told to expect a wait of approx 3 months barring a cancellation...The Surgical unit have rang her up just this morning and said they have a cancellation....you guessed it 15th May....Now what are the odds of that?? I wish I'd had a fiver on it!!

Anything similar happened to any of you guys??
