Sean is off to get his hip sorted out next week on Thursday so i would like to wish him all the best and let other forum members know that the time has arrived.He's a lovely chap.If a thread is getting a little heavy you can always count in him to pop up with a smillie or two and lighten the tone.

To Sean from Sean, Good Luck to you hope they have internet connection at the hospital so you can keep up with the latest.

Good luck, BB! Hope your shaved hip will make it easier for you to catch that durn chicken, chase the wifey or whatever your aspirations may be.

Now, who we gonna call when the pc craps out? Hurry back, Sean.

Hey thanks for the nice words guys, not looking forward to it one little bit in all honesty, but it's the light at the end of the tunnel that's keeping me on track if you get my drift.

I'll be back soon enough, probably a week or so before I'll be able to climb back onto my computer desk.

And dont forget, I ain't gone yet

I already have a set of before and after pics for anyone that's interested

BEFORE



and AFTER

Ahh well, when you set the airport metal detectors off and they frisk you down to try to find that you are going to have a bit of fun

John

Hmm.. psychic powers on Udonmap, BKB can see into the future with an AFTER pic of his op

Any chance you can help the rest of us out with an AFTER pic of next weeks lottery numbers

Anyway, good luck with the op - any chance you'll be convalescing in Udon?

John, yep, I can imagine they will be a little perplexed when I'm trying to tell them I have a metal hip socket

Jimbo, sorry mate, no luck with the lottery numbers , the after pics were supplied courtesy of my consultant at the hospital, i'll sure be happy to ask him about the lottery though to see if he can help.

As for convalescing in Udon, I had actually hoped that I would be able to get away for a bit, but I've been told that I must not travel anywhere for at least 6 weeks after the op, but I may be able to get a week or so away after that, i'll just have to wait and see how the finances are at that stage.

Cheers.

Simple solution - demand that the consultant does the operation in Udon

Wish it was that easy Jimbo, I have actually explored that option, but my works Bupa cover only covers me in the UK unfortunately, it's their call I guess, they would rather pay the ฃ13,700 bill here rather than the ฃ3,000 (in the Bamrungrad, bkk) bill in Thailand, now I know why the annual rates are so high.

Yes indeed.... Good luck BB, and welcome to the "Android" club.
I had these titanium parts fitted 2 years ago after breaking my back, and am so glad I did..... now I can walk again
Hope your recovery is swift and painless

p.s. can recommend the morphine

Steve

Blimey, now that looks painful Stevo, hope it works better than it looks

And thanks for the recommendation by the way, off to get a top up now

Hope all goes well and a speedy recovery. I'm with Polehawk. Maybe finally you will catch the chicken

Good luck BB, I hope that the op goes smoothly and successfully.

Of course you relaize you need the sauna effect now? Doesn't get any better then here. I have had two friends go through the surgery now, a tough one but the long term has been very good for them. I hope yours is even better
