Deities be praised, saw him about an hour ago, he was wearing a dressing gown, so no more arse pictures or butt jokes please.... phew!

He was much better, particularly now he has been allowed TEA, and is well on the way to being able to move to the proper toilet, rather than the jolly bottle. Although he better watch out, the door handle came off in my hand when I used it on Sunday - we know a song about this don't we!!

He was greatly cheered by the printout Aud did of this thread, and looks a lot better now he is off the drips and oxygen feeds. The gallstone has been called Jonah Lomu - cos it's big, black and hard! And not dissimilar to a musket ball.

Better go - love to all and thanks for everything, LTS
