First post, first ride today after my surgury 20 days ago, and back to bloody work!
Thanks to Jiggersplat, Scratch, Casimir, Yamahonkawazuki, JonNLA, Jake42, JBix & Cris.
They poked about with my liver & panchreas and removed the gall bladder and all is well, also the bike started first hit, blew out a bit of what looked like steam and behaved perfectly, as you would expect of a GS!
Welcome back!
Glad you and your GS are well :)
recover man, an' get back on the road before you get that nasty weather you get over there :thumb: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Cheers all. Nasty weather, Poem found written by a US airman in a building on a disused airbase in east anglia.
First it friz and then it snew,
Then there came a wind that blew,
than there was a shower of rain,
then it friz and snew again.
That's Brit weather in a nutshell.
Woo hoo! :thumb: Congrats.
Glad everything worked out well. 20 days is pretty quick recovery. When I had my appendix out, it was a couple weeks before I could walk well.
To go way off topic, here is a favorite Tom Lehrer quote about Gall Bladders:
QuoteI'm sure you're all aware that this week is National Gall Bladder Week, and so as sort of an educational feature at this point I thought I would acquaint you with some of the results of my recent researches into the career of the late Doctor Samuel Gall, inventor of the gall bladder, which certainly ranks as one of the more important technological advances since the invention of the joy buzzer and the dribble glass.
Dr. Gall's faith in his invention was so dramatically vindicated last year, as you no doubt recall, when, for the first time in history in a nationwide poll, the gall bladder was voted among the top ten organs. His educational career began, interestingly enough, in agricultural school, where he majored in animal husbandry, until they... caught him at it one day... whereupon he switched to the field of medicine, in which field he also won renown as the inventor of gargling, which prior to that time had been practiced only furtively by a remote tribe in the Andes who passed the secret down from father to son as part of their oral tradition.
He soon became a specialist, specializing in diseases of the rich. He was therefore able to retire at an early age... to the land we all dream about: sunny Mexico, of course, the last part of which is completely irrelevant, as was the whole thing, I guess, except it's a rather sneaky way of getting into this next type of popular song, which is one of those things about that magic and romantic land south of the border.

okay, waaaay off topic an' maybe a bit nasty?, but a poem found upon the bathroom wall at mmi:
Here i sit in stinky vapor,
cause someone stole the toilet paper.
should i sit, should i linger,
should i use my index finger?. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: sorry had to do it :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Cas, 20 days, I think I was just lucky, four "keyholes" and no complications. Love the Lehrer material, brilliant.

For my appendix I had a 5 inch incision, but the operation was fast.
An appendechtomy NEEDS to be fast, dosn't it.
