Fuck me im thick please make me feel better.

I decided to share a bottle of wine with my lovely husband this evening, he poured, I went to go and get another glass. I don’t know what to say! We both knew we go through wine fast in the house but we can make a bottle of wine last 2 days if we take it home from a restaurant.

Why did it never occur to me to check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He’s used 2 375ml bottles of wine for 2 glasses. BECAUSE THATS HOW MUCH OUR WINE GLASSES HOLD!! Im horrified!! I’m already dying of stage 4 cancer so it won’t do much harm to me but to him!!

This one glass of wine is an entire 375ml of wine and it’s been a really really bad day so I’ve already finished the glass. Fuck me!

WIBU to not check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He always pours the wine (he’s the aficionado) and he always pours it to that level. we’ve probably annihilated bottles of wine in 2 glasses!

Oh my lovely, enjoy your wine. X

What’s not adding up?

So sorry you’re going through this. Waiting for the haters, but I don’t care as I’m more bothered about YOU. Make peace with God and accept Jesus. Haters 3,2,1 GO.

I was thinking exactly the same. You deserve as much wine and chocolate as you want. 💐

Wow you are doing an amazing job of keeping your sense of humour! I just hope your workplace is a hospital. If you work in a school or Carphone Warehouse I don’t fancy your chances!

OP is a surgeon at a big well known hospital 😊

Love to you OP and drink up. Perhaps bathe in asses' milk so you have beautiful skin to go with the beautiful nails. DH used to do this op in the dark ages. Usually avoid saying this but surgeons are special people who can not recognise someone unless they see the scar . I know they’re your friends and colleagues but perhaps that talent will come in handy when you have a drink with them to celebrate your recovery.

Wow op, enjoy your wine, the bigger the glass the better, 😉 also enjoy the long nails it's great to have when normally you don't due to your job, I too worked in nhs for 30 years and also missed having long painted nails, go girl,
Your positively and humour is just fantastic, wishing success in surgery, sounds like you have an incredible team looking after you

My mind immediately went to all this being carried out in an office some where with paper cutters, a stapler and possibly laid out on a photocopier with everyone stood round in their office gear! All those thoughts before I settled on, oh you must work in a hospital ! lol how's that for a nice thick thought to make you feel better lol Good luck with it all x

Fucking hell as if that's what the poster took from your posts 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ You sound amazing and sending you un-mumsnetty love.

I am so sorry as to what you are going through! This sounds like what they used to call a pelvic and abdominal extenteration. I've seen one and did recovery care for that patient. Drink as much wine as you want.

I recently bought some new stemless wine glasses. I love them.

It still is. 125ml is a standard 'glass' .

@sellotapechicken sorry to hear you are going through this. Hope the surgery and chemo go well and give you more years of wining and dining. Good luck
Ps: You sound wonderful. Oh and it sounds like you will be in good hands

You are a surgeon, you are not thick! I am sorry for what you are going through, no-one deserves that. Your colleagues will take good care of you. I hope the surgery goes well.

All my friends are doctors/consultants and as a result, I pretty much only socialised with meds during college and after. I then started teaching in a private school so all the parents are pretty much consultants too. Walking into a hospital is a fecking minefield and at this stage I've had two acquaintances check my boobs out ( because of cysts), another three do internal exams and had another c-section me which was unexpected and involved some pubic hair shaving. All embarrassing enough to not want to investigate anything anymore! I totally get where you're coming from, OP. Another great friend is a colo-rectal surgeon so I'm only waiting for that pleasure, considering we've a serious family history.
I often say that I left my dignity at the door of the hospital where I had my first surgery ie I separated myself from my body and don't really care anymore. It's weirdly freeing!

That's still a small pub/restaurant measure at 125ml

That's still a small pub/restaurant measure at 125ml

It's still 6 small ones. Or 3 large if you're doing standard measures

Wow op you sound incredible, I love your energy. You have stage 4 cancer and your wine glass size is your concern, you deserve it!

you sound like a great person, I’m sure you’re a well loved person all round. All the best with the surgery! Not to worry what they think they’ve seen it all before!

Just report the post.

Facing all that I think the size of glass is massively irrelevant !
Im also stage 4 but can’t drink now makes me sick- even one glass. I would if I could.
loads of luck - thinking of you 🌺

Your kitchen is tidier than mine. Also holy fuck that’s huge surgery. How lovely that your colleagues will be doing it for you

So sorry about your diagnosis. From my own perspective, I drank far to much when my mum has stage 4 cancer - definitely used it as a crutch, but 6 months after she passed I weaned myself right off it. Maybe you could extract a promise from your husband to do the same?

Just wanted to send love and empathy to @sellotapechicken
I too have the pancreatic gene (all the men in my family died of it), and have been through chemotherapy albeit it for breast cancer too. Regrettably, a year post-chemo, the neuropathy in my left hand (am left-handed) is sometimes so bad, I can't even hold chopsticks or undo/fasten buttons. Am praying this doesn't creep up on you in the way it did me.

All good wishes for your recovery and any ongoing treatment. Cancer is vile. (Am the first in my family to get it and not die from it).

Oh, and back on topic, all things considered, you deserve ALL the wine in world!
