Out of action again!

[slogen51]

Not around for a few days as I am in the west Norfolk hospital waiting for a minor op hopefully to fix a partial blockage in my lower intestine.

Currently have a tube up my nose in to my stomach to drain it ( yuk) and nil by mouth

So this morning everyone on the ward was getting cups of tea and jugs of orange juice but yours truly is being fed intravenously - oh joy

( Now they are coming around taking breakfast orders! - torture as I haven't eaten for 24 hours I demand a refund)

Best of luck and wishing a speedy recovery SLOGEN51

FC will keep you entertained!

Best wishes Mike and hope all goes well with the op, what a drastic way to lose a few pounds!!

I too have had the tube up the nose to drain my stomach & I can verify that it is a truly horrible experience.....even more so when it comes off the top of the collecting bottle it in the night & you dont realise until the nurses wake you in the morning...
Best of luck with the operation.

Cheers for the comments

Compared to some in here I am getting off fairly lightly.

The tube going in is fairly unpleasant but once in it is ok - I am feeling 200% better after two days of drainage plus I can now break wind again which apparently is a good sign - the female consultant was really impressed!! So I in may not need the op but still early days. Got the camera up the bum in the next couple of days when my intestine is completely clear. I won't be uploading on to Flickr or show us your worst!

I've got a spare EOS and 400mm lens, I'll recommend they use that for you mike !!

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery mate. If I can do anything to help please let me know.

Had the camera up the back end several times when recovering from the big C. Leave your dignity at the door!!. I always used to say, when I was turned on my side 'it's amazing what you have to do to get a cup of tea and a sandwich in this hospital!!]. Approach it with humour. It's the best way. Tea and sandwich AFTER the event!.

Could be out over the weekend just in time for the Qatar delivery!
