Retrocop Is Back On The Beat

[retrocop]

Morning all.Been let out early for good behaviour.Not bad considering this time last week I was waiting to meet the head carver. Op at miday.Recovery at 4pm.2days in HDU then released from General surgical ward yesterday at 2.30pm. My nurse collected me and we celebrated my escape down the local with a couple of pints of Doombar.Out of practise a bit with the crossword.I am finding today's a stinker so danny and Margo et al will have to show some understanding for an old recovering invalid. I thank you all so very much for your kind thoughts,prayers and wishes and am pleased with the kind welcome you gave Mrs retro a.k.a mem sahib and nurse piggy when she first introduced herself to you all and gave you my progress reports.She never lets me down and I promise I will be a good out patient for her as long as she buys her round. Now back to that pesky crossword and back into practise. Thank you all once again. XX :)

In relation to BA's Retro. There was a bit of argy- bargy about the subject last week which has made be decide to opt out the race.I will still answer queries but at a leisurely pace.

I'm feeling as good as the woman next to me at the moment.See I told you I'm back on the mend.
Sorry to hear about the wigs on the green danny re B.A.s last week. I enjoy the thrill of the chase with you all and the banter.You do keep us on our toes after all.Nearly finished today's crossword and my private nurse is calling me for my first shower of the week. I suppose I must hum a little of hospital smells and things.

Great having you back Retro and you sound really upbeat... continue with the good work xx

[retrocop]

mazie,
Thanks. I never went in downbeat.I like challenges,preferably crosswords,but this was a new battle for me to fight and beat and I did it only with the faith and reliance in a good surgical team of doctors and nurses..Second time now I have been pulled from the brink by the wonderful NHS bless them. I have everything to live for as I was informed that I am going to be a Granddad again in March so happy days ahead. XXXXX :)

Retro dear old chap what a lovely surprise! Have only just logged on and seen your post so glad to have you back, don't overdo things and listen to your nurse. Hope you enjoyed your shower. It's great to be back at home after a stay in hospital makes you appreciAte what you have. Regards to Mrs Retro.

[retrocop]

Thanks mikey and Margo,
Just enjoyed a shower and mrs retro has changed my wound dressings.She injects my Fragmin in the evening but I must pluck up the nerve and do it myself. I hate needles but if it must be I would rather other people do the stabbing instead of me but it doesn't even sting so I should do it.May be this evening. Glad to be back with you all. xxxx ):

Great going retro. See what a good nurse Mrs. R is? upwards and onwards.

[mazie]

[vakayu]

How wonderful retro to see you back and raring to go,the daily banter for best answers has been so quiet in your absence but I am sure you will soon give them a run for their money,be good for nurse and good luck with the injections,take care xx
