Zombie's Surgical Adventures and Beyond

[IamtheZombie]

There's still plenty of room for posts on the current thread but I'm starting this one now as I may be offline for some time.

I've asked iklboo to keep an eye on my FB timeline and to copy / paste the updates here so they should appear as and when.

Make sure you have your chianti and fava beans ready for the 11th!

This is one I found on google

Blimey those are some cats! You really wouldn't want those buggers shitting in your shoes would you

We used to have Dutch Giant rabbits of a similar size, you really knew when they decided to thump while you were carrying them.

We ended up giving them away, and they have lived happily since ... with peacocks! How weird is that?

It is unbelievably windy here, not surprising really as we are next door to a windmill, but caravan holding up well.

Yes, I have the usual rose, forgot how to do the accent, but with your

Hahaha when I first read your post I thought it said " if they decided to trump " ! I think they are lovely. I also like rag doll cats, they have the most beautiful eyes. But I would like one of those big ones.

Wow! They are huge!

Hey Zombie - hope everything is well with you & you're not experiencing too much in the way of side effects this time. Temperature, aches etc all behaving?

Now. I'm sorry to be one of those gushy, slushy mothers, but would y'all mind if I shared DS(10) poem with you? He had to write a firework themed poem for his homework this week:

Last night I saw the sky laughing
The sky shaking
Like wheels on a cart
On a rocky path

Last night I saw the sky splitting
Opening slowly
Like the mouth of a hippo
Opening wide. Very wide
And I was enchanted

Afternoon!

I've been very lazy the last couple of days. Temperature is behaving itself very nicely. Aches weren't as bad this time and are rapidly subsiding now.

CT Scan appointment has arrived - Monday, 8 February at 6.05pm. That's good as it will leave me a clear 10 days of no hospital appointments until Liver Clinic in Birmingham and Chemo in Shrewsbury on the 18th.

Maine Coons are supposed to be awesome cats.

ikl, looks as though your DS has inherited some of your writing talent!

That's all good to hear Z, glad you're feeling OK.

That's very sweet Ikl.

Well done to your Ds Ikl.
Zombie so glad to see that you don't have any major side effects this time.
It's a miserable day here. And for some reason my mood is the same as the weather ! I think it's a culmination of worry with my kids and their dad and my Dd,s ex. It will of passed by later on I hope, it's not like me at all. It's also my birthday this week and I am missing my mum.

A fellow Aquarian lin !

The problems with your DD are bound to bring back memories of your mum,
(((hugs))) to you sweetheart.

Don't wish it all away too quickly. It's difficult stuff that needs to be taken seriously. I hope you'll be able to talk about it with your brothers.

This is not stuff that should just "pass by", I'm sure you are strong enough to confront it and go through it with their support.

Plans for my birthday are - build the wall round my dressing room (!) in the morning and 6 Nations Rugby in the afternoon !

How dare they take my word for it that I don't want a fuss

lin I couldn't imagine being without my mum. She's my best friend. she's my only friend

zombie hope you're still doing OK.

Ikl that's lovely. What a talented boy. My DS wants to be an author. And a mad scientist. I presume he's going to write about his experiments.

Which day is your birthday BBB? Aquarians rock !

The 6th lin, I was born the night George V1th died.

Yup, we have special cosmic powers

I find it astonishing that every minute that I've been alive, Elizabeth has been queen.
Every minute, starting when she was 25.

25 ffs!

When is yours lin?
Have you got nice stuff planned?

Mine is the 5th. It's a very strange weekend for me, which is prob not helping my mood at the moment. My sister who died shared the same birthday as me and on 6th my grandma died. So it's all a bit strange, but I should be used to it by now.
Not really planning anything, family been asking if there is anything I would like, but to be honest, I already have the things I want !
The only thing I would be upset about not getting is flowers !! I love loads of them. That is enough for me, how about you, what will you be doing ?

That's a lot of sad anniversaries very close together, I'm not sure you ever get used to it really.

I usually get flowers too but it's a bit dodgy getting things delivered here.

Will go out Sunday evening with the Portuguese contingent and DS.

DDcan't make it back from Berlin but is going to Portugal at the end of the month.

To help them pack.

Because they are moving back here! [pompoms][fireworks]

Wow, that's lovely for you BBB. What about the horses ? Or am I getting mixed up with that ?

lin what a sad time for you.
BBB lovely news. I have fireworks and party poppers right here 🎇🎆🎉🎊

Nope lin you're spot on.
4/5 horses and 9 dogs to account for!

I am getting better and better at saying NO!

Thanks for the sparklers Fatty

May gs,s gf is Portuguese and all her family live there. This year her sister is getting married there and gs is going to be an usher. No idea what part they come from. Gs,s gf, mum and dad and sister live here, but there is a big part of family still , even my Ds and his wife are invited, so they are going to have a holiday there at the same time.
Can't you have all the animals to share your caravan

If my experience of Portuguese weddings is anything to go by you could just pitch up too lin even without an invitation!

You wouldn't go hungry that's for sure.

Ha bloody ha, that's what I'm saying NO to, I'm not joking!

But I wouldn't be able to sneak in as of course my own family would be there !! I have seen a picture of the venue and it's a beautiful looking place overlooking beautiful gardens and the sea. Gs,s gf is a bridesmaid, not sure if there will be more. When it comes round I will try and get a couple of photos.
I'm sure you can make room BBB , where is your charitable side soon the dogs can live in the caravan, horses in a field somewhere and you can be in your new house !! There, all sorted. Hahaha

This could be you BBB

No sneaking about it, you just arrive and ask that all the tables are re-arranged, and they will be

Amazing, but true.

Please do not let DD see that photo, it's all her dreams come true!

I know tomorrow will be bittersweet for you lin but I want to wish you a happy birthday and send you a huge bunch of

And big (((((hugs)))))

Perhaps you can give me your Dd,s email !
Thanks for good wishes BBB. Will be having a busy day tomorrow, I know that all the family will be round at different times so made loads of cakes today. I will be knackered by tomorrow night !

Of course ... it's [email protected]

Happy birthday, lin!
