Damn my operation hurt

So, I had the op on Tuesday 13th June and I was in and out on that day have had a general anaesthetic. Damn was I in pain when I woke up. The communication skills of most doctors is so poor cos nobody warned me about this. I ended up being off work all week and didn't touch the computer until Monday just gone. It doesn't really hurt anymore but its certainly still uncomfortable.

Well, England are through to the last 16 of the World Cup then. They haven't played very well so far so lets hope they can get their acts together for the game against Ecuador on Sunday.

Me and Deb (mainly me at the moment) are thinking of learning a new language but we can't decide which one. French would be good cos we both already know some from school but are we ever gonna live in France. We keep going to Greece on holiday so maybe we should learn that. On the other hand what if we get a villa in spain when we are old ;-) I'm sure we'll decide one day!

Woo hoo, the world cup is starting

Well the weather in Preston has been glorious for the past few days and is hopefully set to continue so that we can have plenty of BBQ's during the world cup. Just a few hours to go until it starts and I can't wait. I'm looking forward to watching as many matches as I can! Unfortunately I'm gonna miss a few on Tuesday though cos I'm in hospital for an operation and even though I have to be there at 8am they can't say what time I'll have my op and as such can't guarantee I'll be home for the first match at 2pm :-(

Had a close scare with the TV last night in terms of the world cup as well. The damn thing died on me so I rang the shop and luckly they had 1 in stock that I could swap for and they were open till 7pm so I swapped it last night. Its ridiculous that this is my 4th LCD tv in 4 months and they have even been different brands.

Right, back to work so that I get enough done to watch some of the world cup build up :-)

Hell of a past 2 weeks

Well, it has been one hell of a past couple of weeks.

Sunday 21st
Koopa hurt him self really badly by catching his leg on the fence when he was razzing about in the garden and litterally rolling down his skin like a sock. It was pretty horrible cos you could see bones and tendons and everything. Deb had a bit of a panic attack because of this and it seemed to really set her back. I got Deb round to her mom's and then Jen helped me get Koopa to the vets where he had a little operation to get him sorted and we got him back later that day complete with a little purple cast.

Monday 22nd
Took Deb to see her counsellor and it was decided all round that it would be good if I just took her away for a week so that she didn't have to worry about anything other than how much sun tan lotion to put. Soooo, I thought it would be a good idea if Deb's sister came along and we booked a trip to Samos (small Greek island) for a week leaving on Wednesday 24th at 9am. After we'd booked, Deb's mom then wrote me a check for the cost of the holiday saying that she wanted to pay for it and she wouldn't take no for an answer so that was really nice.

Wednesday 24th
We flew to Samos on Deb's birthday and proceeded to have a really great week in the sun doing nothering but sun bathing and going into the town to eat in restaurants. Just what the doctor ordered.

Back in Preston now then and back working. Deb seems to be doing really well and Koopa is well on the mend. Seems like this little holiday has put everything on the right track!
