Would someone a little further east of the Atlantic than I am pass along my best wishes to Liz via telephone? I hope her recovery period doesn't involve abstaining from chocolate... but in any case I am sending the most delicious chocolate of the mind to cheer her along her way! Margaret

From: Liz the Squeak

Thanks guys, truly touched here.....

I now have a Frankenbelly, although not as dramatic as Micca's was last year..... They couldn't do the keyhole bit, so they had to make a bigger hole. Regrettably they did not take me up on the suggestion that they do some lipsuction whilst they were down there.

Stitches out on Sat, no lifting, stretching or rolling on the floor for 2-3 weeks, but I can now EAT!!!

First meal was strawberry icecream..... yum..... just a shame there was no chocolate flavour left.

Please keep ringing, I was very happy to get two calls last night, even though I was not very compos mentis, more sort of compost..... Food parcels of chocolate would be gratefully received!! (only kidding!)

Thanks again, all you wonderful people. I've already had an offer to rub it better, but that's another thread altogether!!

And thanks Manitas for posting this.. XXX

...but did they find the steak, mushroom and suet pudding from lunch the week before?
I'm sure mine's still inside me, lurking like some alien life-form, just waiting to pounce on a passing piece of offal.
Good to hear the plumber's done his bit and you're back on your feet with all four trotters in the fridge! I'm just worried there might not be enough ice-cream in East London. See if you can get it on prescription (with the NHS in the state it is now, I doubt it - though my grandfather did once get a crate of Guinness prescribed by his doctor. Jammy bugger).

No lifting, and able to eat, eh? Sounds like luxiuriating for a couple of days to me. Don't think about those other details, enjoy what you can. Sleep and relaxation are the best cure for you at the moment (and maybe a bit of body powder if you do have 5:00 shadow problems). The candle gets lit in about 45 minutes, when I get home.

From: Liz the Squeak

Thanks all, this thread has now jeopardised my stitches, will have to print it out.

Gervase, I suspect that is why the keyhole didn't work, huge dollops of suet pastry in the way..... memories of it kept me going in the dark hours before dawn on Monday when I couldn't eat....

Lady Penelope - Les's Career was never in doubt, there is a tape in a secret location, of me squeaking for over an hour, he can just edit it in..... Good to see you here at last.

The squeak was heard last night, although slightly subdued, due to the amount of bruising.... what do they do when you're asleep?? My stomach looks (and no doubt feels) like the floor after Manitas has done his morris practice......

It's good to be back, but upright in an office chair is limited to 30-40 mns at the moment.....

Sledge, thanks for ringing, it was good to know I might get to meet another looney....

Chocolate is being provided, and I'll follow your advice about not clicking on Spaw's choccy bunny, although it can't be any more stitch ripping that some of the stuff my so called friends at work sent me.....

Roger - rolling on the floor is not a euphemism...... you bad bad boy. It's .... well, it's.... Oh alright, it is....!!

Metchosin - Bob is actually my father in law, and I don't pat morris dancers bums any more, it just gets me into more trouble!

Heaven's be praised, there was no shaving involved.... stubble rash is bad enough on your armpits...... but anywhere else..... NO!!!

Thank you again, for all your kind thoughts and wishes. My 40 mins are up now, I have to go and return to suppine.

Love Liz

It's probably out of the question Liz, but as wot I'm in London next weekend (I'm one of the idiots running the marathon) the essential medication could be delivered personally. I'm staying at Oxford Street Youth Hostel Fri / Sat / Sun nights, home Monday afternoon. BTW thanks for your pm. John

He's coming round later, to take me to lunch.... rolling on the floor is not an option (our respective partners might get a bit miffed), and he's not bringing the bike because I can't ride it yet!! That's a pleasure we're saving until May/June..... He did promise to wear the jeans though... just because I have no money, doesn't mean I can't go window shopping.....!

Thanks everyone, he of the tight black jeans did indeed come round, and took me to lunch 60 miles away! He also let me go to sleep in the car for a couple of hours, whilst he wandered around town...... I'm an ungrateful sod like that and not at all brazen!!

The exercise and fresh air had been most beneficial, and apart from the odd twinge when I get over excited at Sean Connery pictures, or speed humps in the road, I am practically as good as before. Singing will occur probably, over the weekend, stitches come out on Sat.... Then we shall see what happens.... Anyway, due back at work on Tuesday, so I have to be able to at least walk upright!!

Belly dancing??!! No way - firstly, it hurts to even smile hard, secondly, there ain't no way I'm wearing a pair of chiffon trousers and thirdly, not everything stops when the music does!!

Besides, it's a lovely shade of green and yellow at the moment, you wouldn't want to see it!!

Stitches are out and I've been told off for not resting more. So there we go.
