    Today hasn't been too bad really, apart from having nothing to eat and going to the bathroom frequently, I have to be at the hospital at. 7.30 am tomorrow,I have to say I am a bit worried but I need to stay calm and trust the staff.

    My good lady wife is showing signs of stress which is understandable, I hope she will be ok whilst I am in, they said I may be in 2 days dependent on recovery.

    My wife pointed out I was running low on my tablets so with the Xmas period coming I rang the doctors to ask for a repeat prescription,oh dear....that's when it all goes pear shaped...here's how it went. Me - " hello I am in hospital tomorrow and I'm afraid I am low on my tablets would it be possible to have a repeat prescription please", gestapo lady receptionist - " no we don't do them over the phone", me- would it be possible to speak to a doctor? Gestapo - " no the doctor doesn't do that" me( let's try the sympathy route) " I'm having brachytherapy tomorrow can I do it any other way" g.l.- " you will have to  come here with a note" 
    So I had to wait for the wife to fin work and take me all the time hoping I wouldn't have an accident in my pants...fab

    Hey jonny ;) thanks mate. Hope you are well and doing good on the tables, may see you in the deep stack tonight, be careful though I'm a lucky so and so :) I reckon the demon of AK ( my wsop exit hand) have been laid to rest by the hand last night late in the tourney,3 way allin I had AK both tothers had QQ so when an ace came on the flop it was pretty much locked down :)

    Good luck mate,tc

    nice touch tom  if any body deserved a timely boost you defiantly deserved to be on the short list.
    your treatment by the  gargoyle at the doctors beggars belief your wife wants to complain to the practice manager as if you didn't have enough on your plate.
    good luck  and I hope every thing goes well at the hospital for you and your family.

    I have been discharged and am at home,I am hoping to play tonight.

    Thanks for the good vibe messages,they helped me a lot, i don't remember having a session on the 18th dragon as that was when I was admitted to hospital although I did have a quick peek in the forum about 5 am before I set off.

    My stay in hospital was a tad traumatic at times but I have to say the staff were marvellous and helped me cope with everything that happened.

    As always my wife has been wonderful,keeping my spirits up when I was at my lowest and bringing the kids up to see me albeit for the few minutes they were allowed on the night of the 18th,my treatment was supposed to be 20mins but due to complications was 2 hours.

    I will try to converse in the chat box if I play later but please bear with me if I take a while or turn chat off for a bit.

    Good to know you are home now Tom.

    If you feel up for a game sometime later, the PLO8 crew will always be pleased to see you.

    Take it easy today, rest up & try to relax.
     
    It must help that you have what sounds like a really wonderful wife.

    Sorry Tom, I wasn't talking poker.

    I meant your trip to hospital.

    Glad you are back and maybe feeling up to a few games.

    Good luck at the tables 

    And away from them.

    nice to hear your out of hospital but it must have been awful for you that due to the complications  a planned 20 minute
    session turned into  a 2 hour stint. not very good for the nerves on your first session.
    i'm  pleased you feel well enough to have a game at the tables an encouraging sign just settle your self down and watch the toon beat sunderland at lunch time.
    I hope things go well for you this week  and i'll take the opportunity to wish your self and  your family all the best during the  festivities although  you have other things on your mind I hope your in good spirits despite the circumstances 
    love db xx

    Thank you,and a very happy Xmas and new year to you and your family.
    I had an operation on Thursday,the radiotherapy starts in January, it brought to mind something I recall reading in a joke book,goes something like this...a young woman is having a baby and decides to have it "au natural" ie no pain relief,and goes to her mother to tell her what she is planning.,her mother is a wise soul," mum how much does childbirth hurt" well says mum,pinch your bottom lip as hard as you can,ohh says the daughter yes that hurts a lot but I think I will be able to stand it.ok says mum,now pull it over your head and staple it to your neck....
