hello all, well i am here laying in my bed minus a bit 
.
surgery went well, so far no sign of any infection but the pain is pretty intense.
doctor just visited and said everything is looking good and if everything goes well i may be able to go home within 2 weeks. god i hope so i am bored already and do you have any idea how hard it is to find an empty phone socket so i can plus my modem in
had a look at the gallerieds this morning and noticed that more windowblinds have come up in the last week and a half than all the last month together lol, it's all a conspiracy against me isn't it
. anyway it gives me something to do while laying in my bed not being able to go outside for a smoke, time to give em up i think i haven't had a smoke in a few days. finally able to eat a full meal without bringing it straight back up and i am sad because there are good lookin nurses and i can't chase any of them. anyway more updates to come , thanks to everyone for your support it is appreciated more than you can imagine.

Good to hear from you! Sounds like you've got a good case of "cabin fever". Happens around here every spring, after hibernating all winter. Grab all the meds you can and a couple of those nurses, get some wheels under you, and run for it!

It's good to hear that all went well and you could be home in a couple of weeks. It sounds like you're in reasonably good spirits, and that's great cos it's the key to a speedier recovery.
As for the boredom, I know exactly what you mean...spent 3 years in the Ipswich hospital after an accident which almost took my right leg, and I too got the screaming ab-dabs wondering what to do with myself every day....and that was well before the advent of PC's, let alone lap-tops.
Ah!! Now that's where you get cunning (listen to someone who knows/had 3 years to perfect it). What you do is call out 'nurse...nurse...nurse' and when they're standing beside your bed, you lower your voice so they have to come closer. Once they're within hugging range you give 'em a sob story about how miserable/lonely you feel, and once you've got their undivided attention you sneakily latch on for a cuddle.
Anyhow, cobber, take care, keep up the good spirit and be home soon.

Hey Nimbin ...glad to see your spirits are up there again mate!
Grab a hospital wheelchair when you can, and 'accidentally' bump into the back of the cutest nurse.
...Then hold on for dear life. 
Keep smiling, and hope to see you back soon!

I'm not sure if I should be replying here as I don't know you Nimbin,but I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck.
My Aunt lost her right leg below the knee several years ago.She has since gone on to raise three children and amazingly completed her umteenth parachute jump for charity last year.From your post you strike me as a truly optimistic and brave fella with a great wit, and from my experience with my Aunt there is nothing that can't be acheived (even giving up smoking ).
For you I reckon the glass is definately half full.
Good luck and a hasty recovery.Peace.
PS If I mail you my contact details can you get me e few nurses telephone numbers please.
