14 Jan 13 - 09:46 PM (#3466249) Subject: Bugsy could do with some kindly thoughts From: Bugsy Just before Christmas,I got diagnosed with Cancer of the left Kidney and I'm going in to Hospital on Thursday to have it removed. The Doc reconds I'll be in for 2 days (keyhole surgery) and that, if the Cancer is contained and I don't need Chemo or Radio, I should be up and running in around 3-4 weeks. I've not dwelled on it much as a few of my friends are dealing with far worse Cancers than mine and I feel a bit of a fraud alongside them. I've concentrated more on worrying about them than me. Now the day is approaching and I could do with someone to keep me in their thoughts til Saturday. Mrs Bugsy has been a great support and has worried about it more than I have, which has been a help because reasuring her has made me take a more positive attitude. Enough of my bleating. Just maybe spare a thought til Saturday?? Cheers bugsy |

I'll drop a note over the the "Nigel Paterson Healing Thoughts" thread which has turned into a very neat voyage of people who need each other and has become an entity all its own. Come on over and read a bit....Lots of joy some sadness, but always a place of great hope for many of the folks you know here. I'll be checking in with you here and sending best thoughts your way....And you need to stay past Saturday and let us know what's happening or I rescind my thoughts and request that you kiss my ass.........

14 Jan 13 - 10:14 PM (#3466261) Subject: RE: Bugsy could do with some kindly thoughts From: Stilly River Sage The Big C is a shock to anyone, and always needs to be treated with respect. I'm glad to hear it is a laproscopic sort of surgery - it is easier for recovery time, but you'll still feel like someone took a hand-mixer to your insides, so take it easy and pamper yourself. Good luck, and good thoughts headed your way! SRS |

14 Jan 13 - 11:48 PM (#3466280) Subject: RE: Bugsy could do with some kindly thoughts From: GUEST,999 Bugsy, I don't have spare good thoughts. Take 'em all, buddy. Good thoughts are like love. The more you give the more ya got. Surgery always hurts, but in the long run it hurts less than no surgery. Geeze, Dan (old dude) just got his pecker reamed so the docs could get at some cancer in his bladder. I need a tooth pulled but with all this laproscopic surgery happening I'm afraid to go in case the dentist decides he needs to navigate 35 feet of intestine, stomach and esophagus to get at my mouth. Nooo sirree Capt'n Bob. You hang tough, Bugsy. |

I am so sorry that you had to live with this diagnosis over Christmas but at least it will be done with by this weekend.

19 Jan 13 - 09:45 PM (#3468795) Subject: RE: Bugsy could do with some kindly thoughts From: Bugsy Just arrived back home a couple of minutes ago, and thought I'd best give you guys an update first. Well the op went well. The pain over the first 18 hours was almost unbearable. it came from air trapped inside the body that they pump in to give themselves more room to operate. Eventually they brought in the pain management team who had me sorted in around and hour and a half. From then on it was just the crap food and the bloating and blocked bowel to deal with. The Bowel finally gave way last night. WHAT A TRIUMPH. If I could have got off the bowl, I'd have done a lap of the wards singing the Halleluia Chorus! I can't remember when I had that sort of relief before. So now it's time to take it steady and slow and get on Mrs Bugsy's nerves! \ I really appreciate all your positive thoughts and wishes. They did not go to waste. Thanks again everyone. (Exit stage left, farting all the way) Bugsy |
