I went back to hospital today for my pre-admission checks ready for surgery at 8am next Thursday. I had blood, ECG, urine, MRSA, swine flue, dropsy, scurvy and erection tests although the last test was optional for private patients only.
I had to fill in endless forms again and one question was “preferred language” so I put down “Zulu”. She asked me why I wanted Zulu so I said I had always found it a relaxing, lyrical language. It will be interesting to see if they get me a Zulu nurse!
I am surprisingly more nervous about this operation than I was about the first one which was much more major. This one is only about 45mins. I guess I know what is coming.
We will keep you posted,
Love Jon ; xx

Love it - the tests that is!!! Not sure about the Zulu but whatever works for you. Let's hope you don't get a Zulu nurse trying to explain where your boys should be throughout the procedure - ouch! Thinking of you and sending you many good vibes. Love, as always, Frances and Skip xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteErection test eh. Wonderful thing this private medical coverage. What happens if you fail the test, are re-tests permitted?

Hi Jon! Just been catching up on the news. Loved the full bag story. Marilyn must have been so worried about being stopped, it's a wonder she didn't have the little problem, not you. Having seen you so recently - thanks for being the star of the table once again - it is easy to forget what you have been through and that you are facing another op on Thursday. You looked fantastic! Very good luck for this last bit of the process. We all send our very best wishes that everything goes well on Thursday. Not sure that choosing Zulu was a good option though. Tricky to follow medical terminology that way, so hope your sign language is up to it. Good luck Jon and we look forward to glowing reports of your rapid recovery. Love to you and Marilyn from all the Simmos xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Jon...just letting you know I am still checking your site and following your progress, always know I'll get a good laugh (inflated bag story very funny)..hi Jim, Lorrie, Jill and Marty.(oh sorry hope you don't mind me using your site to get in touch with some Eppingites) Liz and I are off to Huskisson Film Festival in a couple of weeks so we will catch up then. Jon, a big hug and lots of love to you and Marilyn. love Janie
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow Sweetie, this time next week it will all be over and you have a bag free time to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting a reversal - seriously hope all goes well. Loved the full bag story - can relate to that so well - ie being stopped at Munich airport and trying to 'delicately' explain my problem to a non-English speaking lady with lots of English bystanders. Our love to you all - Pat and Dave in (for once) sunny Devon. x
ReplyDeleteHopefully it is all systems go by now and you are all done and dusted. Sending good vibes for a very quick recovery and looking forward to hearing about how you got on with the Zulu medical team they flew in specially. Love to all, Tessa
ReplyDeleteHi, just to say that we are thinking of you and hope all goes well, bet you're looking forward to going to "zu lu" again for a poo. (sorry, that sounded better when I said it to myself - that'll teach me to try and be witty!!) Loved the bag story, bet the police are still telling it to everyone who will listen in the canteen. Anyway, lots of love to you all (legless & bagless), nearly over and the holiday is beckoning (not to mention losing the Ashes!!. Take care all, Bill & Caroline xx
