I Love You All To Bits

[mrs_overall]

Yes, I am back!
Mr O was released from hospital on Xmas Eve and two days later I was taken into hospital. I had an abscess on my bowel, appendicitis and peritonitis. I came home on Tuesday and am now minus several body parts and sporting an interesting incision involving around 40 staples.
I have just been reading your posts and I was moved to tears by all the kind comments. Thank you.
A special thanks to those of you who have kept my spirits up with texts and phone calls - you know who you are.
I am feeling pretty weak at the moment but do not think some of the comments have gone unnoticed. I am keeping a book - be afraid.
I am willing to provide a photo of the said incision (with a marigold clad hand in the pic) to anyone who wants one in exchange for a small donation to a charity I support.Staples(one careful owner) are also available for purchase from next week. Contact me at [email protected]
A belated happy new year to you all and God bless you.

Welcome back, mrs O - delighted to see you posting!

(You had the surgery in Staples? - gee, that is a service I didn't know about!)

Good to hear that you're on the mend, Mrs O. Take things easy for a while.

Good to hear you're out, and great to see your sense of humour unimpaired. Get well soon.

Ooh, I haven't been on here very much and must have missed all this. Hope you are on the mend. Would there be enough staples for a neckless? ;-)

[Hopkirk]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I hope you have been embarrassing those young male doctors with you inappropriate behaviour.

[mrs_overall]

Thank you all

Boxy, you would be surprised at what the shops offer these days. I believe PC World are currently offering a good deal on dental work with every lap top purchased

Welcome back Mrs O, great to see you, so to speak x

[boxtops]

LOL, I've got to go to the dentist, perhaps he'll reciprocate with a free laptop :0)

[RATTER15]

So glad you are back and on the mend, great news indeed. I hope you're soon bounding around your kitchen as only Mrs O. knows how :-))

speedy recoveryxxx

ps dont start with the marigolds just yet, rest up for a while.

[ChillDoubt]

Glad to hear you're on the mend, an emergency laparotomy is no fun.
Will pass on the kind offer of the pic and staples, I see enough in work!

[jackthehat]

Welcome back, Mrs_O.

You'll need all your strength for propping the church up......:o)

[Smowball]

oh welcome back Mrs O!! Did they have to surgically remove your marigolds?? : )

Really glad to hear you are on the mend xx

[jno]

glovectomies are difficult to perform and often have disastrous complications so I'm glad you've pulled through

[gness]

Oh yeah!!!! Photos please...l'll let you see pics of my toe if you email me yours.
So great to have you back on here but rest...rest..I know you you crazy woman..you'll be out gathering bones for soup. Love Gx

Welcome back mrs-O. xxx Is mr-O doing well?

[mrs_overall]

Thanks again.
Gness, I told you not to breathe a word about the soup!
Mazie - yes Mr O is doing really well. The district nurse is still coming every day but he is well on the way to recovery xx
