Back by popular demand. Written in our local hospital with very short beds. MJ and I compared notes today… Operation 1was 2009.
Good job I didn’t know operation 10 and 11 were only the start of this….This was my first blog.
This was my first blog. Written on my phone whilst lying in the Manor hospital which has very short beds! As MJ and I compared notes today.
That was operation 10 and 11. Good job I didn’t know that was only the start of it.
Hello from Kidney World. 11 November 2010.
(I-phone)
Well you will not be surprised to hear that having had stent out and dilatation of ureter
(again) operation 10, last week, ended up back in here Monday in total agony, then
operation(11) yesterday, Wednesday, new stent in. Trying to get ureter and kidney to work
today – urodynamics so interesting I’m thinking of doing a Masters in it. Hope to go home
later, then London next week to see another surgeon and hope he agrees that all is now
fixed.
I’ve decided it’s a bit like flying to Canada in here: the chief cabin crew lady does her safety
talk on arrival, fire exits here and here, remote control for tv press ‘on’ to turn it on,
stretches my interactive technology skills… etc etc…. Although I am now recognised as a
frequent flyer, so only have to hear the bit: ‘ press this red button to call the nurse’ ( you
need to be a bit more advanced for that, that’s elearning for you!). No chance to pretend to
be asleep through the speech either.
Then there is individual TV, flat bed ( even got remote control on that), cabin crew bring jolly
trays of meals supplied at strange times ‘dinner’ at 5:30!? Well it must be dinner time in
Hong Kong or Sydney or somewhere . There is even a CAKE FORK with tea at 4, sensational
operating gown (British airways pyjamas)? No champagne but marvellous complimentary
plug-in cocktails! Pilot and his team issue exciting information snippets from time to time. ‘
we thank you for flying with us please keep kidney function at all times ….. As we circle
Heathrow for the 11th time…..
In flight entertainment including ‘doris’ ! – the cleaner hoovering round the room – how is it
really possible to hoover the floor and hit the furniture with such force every single time?
Top in-flight movie : blood pressure, oxygen levels, temp, all plotted in a superb scatter
diagram ( must have done maths at Sharnbrook) in a colourful blue/ black bic biro effect,
wahey.
In my opiated state I dreamt Howard and Julie Reid from Sharnbrook, my school , were in the operating
theatre yesterday. Only to find that this weeks anaesthetist really really so Howard. He came
to check out his poisonous after-effects last night – I was more clear headed and he
looks/speaks so so like Howard I introduced him to Daniel as Doctor Reid.
Meanwhile all else is ok. To the disgust of his sisters, little George got a first for his first
essay. They are not impressed that his partying and lack of library visits should produce such
results. He is laughing and says he deserves a nice break now having done as much as one
essay so far! So it’s back to research project ‘an exploration of the effect of beer drinking on
the inhabitants of Bristol’ sample size :1, case study approach, paradigm ? Lit Review?
Participative action research.
Better go … Check out the loos before landing. Oh hell where’s my passport ?

My prep school was in Hastings next door to a ‘ looney bin’. Im sure that’s not a nice description, no offence just we 10 year olds thought it was. Goodness knows who lived there. it was the stuff of schoolgirl ghost stories after lights out. , Every so often we’d be in a ‘lockdown […]
