Operation Arm

Back home after two days in hospital and two hour long operation on Miss T's arm.
Just wanted you to know she's OK. More details later.

Very glad to hear she's home. Will 'phone this evening. Trust all's well. Love, Granny and Pa.

Nea...Hope T is doing well after the surgery. What a way to start school.
Best to all of you.

Hi Tuva,
Glad you are through the worst of it. You'll have to learn the secret art of bouncing. It can still hurt but it is better to bounce than to break!

V-word is bingl, which is the sound you make when you bounce off a small dustbin - as opposed to bongl which is made by bouncing off a big dustbin.

PS. If you have a huge empty dustbin to bounce off, it goes BOI-OI-OI-OING-g-gle....

the next v-word is dingle...
Don't try bouncing off a pile of coat hangers... they will go dingle as the v-word suggests... but some will get stuck up your nose and that involves a very painful and complicated operation known as a nasal de-coat-hangerisation procedure. I think there are only two surgeons in the whole universe who have ever done it successfully! Even more Love and good wishes,
(Told you I was mad)GUC

Thank you all. She is the bravest person I have ever met. Asked the day after surgery by a nurse to rate her pain level on a scale of 1-10, with 10 as the worst possible, she said it's a zero. I questioned this as the nurse started to check for nerve damage, but Miss T explained, as long as she didn't move it didn't hurt....that much.

Miss T has clearly taken after her English GrandPaPa - Who would never admit to feeling pain in case someone might think it neccessary to stick an injection into him.

I am amazed at the broadly spread incompetence at every level of the Swedish Health Care System - Thank Goodness the surgeon was the exception. The anaesthetist sounds like a serious health hazard!

The system is sadly lacking, Crowbard. The management of the system is so poor that it can hardly be called a system.
