Apparently Snoopy is eating and talking

I was always taught not to talk with my mouthful!

Anyway, that's good news!

Well, someone had to say it!

Most excellent news.
I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

Surgery took 3 hours. The lead connecting the implant to the left ventricle had to be lazered out.
They found a lot of fluid in the pouch that holds the implant but by the time they got round to letting me go home their lab had not managed to grow anything on it so they aren't sure what the infection was ~ they are pretty sure it was caused when my immune system's resistance was lowered by the chemotherapy so they have sent me home with no implant and have asked the cancer people to shift their arses and get the biopsy done so that they can have me back in to have new implant put in. The new one will be in a different place.

If you really want to see what they did it can be found here: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/123/11/e378.full

Good to see you back in here fella. I wouldn't have looked at the link anyway, but definitely lost any desire to do so after you mentioned fluid in the pouch, for some reason I saw it as being greeny/yellow  sick2:

Fecking great hole in my chest ~ they didn't stitch it but used glue ....... it started bleeding this morning. GP, after phone conversation with surgeon, has put a sterile patch on it and I have to go back if it keeps bleeding.
