Ahh, glad you're making the best of it Cat. Sorry about the drip although I'm sure it would have been hilarious to watch.

[MK Chris]

my drip slapped me across the face.

There's something you don't hear (or read) every day.

[foot-loose]

[timp]

haha quite funny foots, if a bit harsh!

[Boboff]

9.50 Viv from Ayrshire got I mention from Nihal !

[catherine]

i'm home right now i've gone awol for a few hours so i can keep my sanity and the patient line tv is broke and no one is in till monday and the only doctors are emergency doctors that you have to call down so my surgical doctor isn't in till monday either so he couldn't discharge me for a few hours either.

[catherine]

Camera down my throat tomorrow and then if they unblock the gall stone that is stuck somewhere in a few weeks i'll have surgery but if they don't unblock it i'll probably have surgery in a few days.

[foot-loose]

Hope it all goes well, young cat. Is this what has been causing you problems over the past few months?

[catherine]

yeh when gall stones get stuck in the entrance of the gall bladder you have a massive pain attack, that some people say is worse than labour. Now one gall stone has come out of the gall bladder and is in my bile duct blocking bile coming out, which has given me jaundice.

[foot-loose]

Well I suppose the upside is that you know what the problem is now and how to sort it. Surgery isn't that bad (although ive never had gall stones out) so don't worry about it.

Also, I know where to come if I need someone to do an impression of a Simpsons character!

[catherine]

I hope they just take the gall bladder out, otherwise they might just keep coming back.

[S4B]

Make them into a bracelet!

I hope the hospital do know where you are Miss Catherine!

[timp]

Today its only passing my bloody driving test!!! wooo

[S4B]

Well done Timp! Congratulations! Mind you the rest of us are now quaking in our boots worried about the safety of the roads with you on them!

[KevinoHeat]

Congrats Timp. All the best on the road.

[catherine]

I'm homeeeeeeeeee My bilirubin is back to normal and my pancreas which was 1600 amylase on Thursday is now 40. I'm having the camera down my throat on thursday but only as a day patient so everything is groovy.

Well done tim you finally passed

[S4B]

Does this mean you don't need surgery?

[catherine]

I don't know really i think if they get all the gall stones out it will be temporary but will last a while before they come back again.

[Andy B]

Glad ur home safe and soundish for now Cat....

What's making me smile is I'm blagging a free copy of Office off work tomorrow..told em I need it so I can work at home....actually why DO I need it?

[S4B]

I don't know really i think if they get all the gall stones out it will be temporary but will last a while before they come back again.

Have they got any out then?

[MK Chris]

I don't know, but you can get a perfectly functional, free, Microsoft-compatible alternative from here.

[catherine]

No, because all my blood tests came back normal they didn't need to do the camera thing today because nothing is blocking me up anymore, so they will do it on Thursday not to unblock me but to try and get the gall stones completely out.

[Andy B]

Hearing Greg James playing that "new song" by H2O and imagining Cat apapletic with rage shouting "IT'S NOT NEW!"

Not so much Cat being angry but just her passion for rubbish music!

[unclejoesmintballs]

runs away from the impending clash between cat and andy

[Andy B]

She's ill, it's not a taunt at Cat.

More of an appreciation for someone else's passion for music. I like people who are passionate about music even if I don't like that music myself.
