Post by: republic of tolworth on 25 September 2013, 08:55:28 AM
Today forum member Sandanista is off for an op.

So hope all goes well for you mate. I'm sure while he's under he will be dreaming of horse armies thundering across the plains  :D

Cheers.

Adrian.

Good luck to him

Is it a big operation?....I am presuming by the title it is something to help him hear?

Cheers chaps

I have had my stapes replaced in my left ear- a small but important part of the hearing mechanism - links below for the curious. I had the right ear done 5 years ago and that worked a treat.

All went well and I am  back home but now wide awake after spending most of yesterday dozing. Happily I am in no pain  :D
Surgery went well, the consultant twice told me how he thought it one of his best, nice bloke even if a bit smug - but there again he has probably earned that right twice over  :) - I still struggle putting wheels on Pendraken artillery  :(

All I can say is that I love our NHS, top of my list of things that make me proud to be British :-bd

Glad yours went well Nosher it's good to hear well

I think those who have never lost their hearing can never truly appreciate the gift they have. So wear those ear defenders even if they are sweaty ;)

All this and signed off untill 14th October - extended toytime for Sandinista  :D :D :D :D

Cheers again
Ian

fsn obviously believes there is a way to get post war tanks out of this.  Only reason I can think for him to comment.

How uncharitable!  :P

Members of the forum have been very kind to me, and I have no ulterior motive in wishing a fellow member a speedy recovery.
