Heh heh ! I'm actually not too far off that particular milestone, but in my head I'm about 34. I look in the mirror and don't really recognise the old geezer looking back at me. He looks terrible ! 😉

Consultant done his rounds, discharge tomorrow morning into the "care" of Mrs Nog
I have come to the conclusion that airline food and hospital food are one and the same

Pleased to hear you are on track, and coming out. Hospitals are dangerous places.

Because some are ill/sick before they get there. Some get even more ill/sick once they are there.

Bad news Vic, I survived the op, the Volvo is MINE 'Sokay, not sure I'd want the badge prestige deflation.
Glad your op seems to have gone OK. My sis had a hip replacement when she was 28, it wore out 10 years later and when they put the 2nd replacement in they managed to screw her sciatic nerve in to the bone, irretrievably. She's been unable to walk properly ever since and is still on morphine amongst other things. Blasted nerve will not switch off its pain signal. This was in a German hospital, she took the surgeon to court for negligence and lost due to her brief leaving the paperwork at his office on the day of the hearing, and the local beak system being unable to do anything other than acquit under the circumstances.
Utter, utter cock up at all stages. And she had it done in Germany (living there as husband posted in armed forces for a few years) as she trusted their system more than the NHS here. Has a blue badge and sometimes gets shouted at for parking in disabled bays because she doesn't look old enough.

Oh, we thought you might have been inclined towards a Volvo. But in fairness, in your particular car, you have to, by default, lean towards ( or away from ) most things I suppose...😋

The op has gone well. I have no neural issues and the blood supply hasn't been compromised. I have limited range of movement at the moment and it hurts like fudge but no pain no gain.
My only problem is getting out the place, Physios have said go, Orthopaedic surgeon has said go but the assigned doctor now wants me to have a chest x ray because I used to smoke.
Well he can naff off, if he hasn't sorted it by two I am going to self dischsrge. I am not spending another night in this zooo

Be a bit careful with that, it can have insurance implications far into the future. Best to avoid if you can.

Rough part of Reading? I thought that was just called Reading?
