hmm... neighbours: Is it actually possible to have a kidney transplant by keyhole surgery?

[fryalot]

surely they couldn't get it out of a keyhole sized hole in a good enough condition to put it in someone else's body?

I know there are more important things in the world to be worrying about, but....

eww.

think I also need some fresh air - going to get the dd's from school and mull over the thought of half living kidneys..

thanks squonk see what you've started!

Squonk, I too have 2 at school and one asleep. Haven't done any of all the housework though.

dunno about the actress who plays rosetta - but toadie's got that Diana one for the solicitors firm, and frazer was seen laughing uproariously on the phone, so I doubt she's coming back, they'll kill her off.

why is she in Italy? I haven't seen it until today

and who is that woman who wants to join Toadie's law thing?

and HONESTLY janae, can she not even SMELL the whiff of a set up

I think Rosetta's aunt was unwell, so she headed off to see her, or something... surely she is coming back, she has left her gimp of a husband behind!??!

okay, purpleturtle, perhaps I gave you the wrong impression when I said I had done all the housework.... what I should have said is that I haven't done any, but I have no intention of doing it

Ah yes, MaskedPoster, you ask an interesting question. What has happened to Rosie? Had MIL staying earlier in the week so just assumed I'd missed something on Mon or Tues.

Perhaps we are kindred spirits after all, Sqonk.

when they brought Toadie's brother in the other week, I distinctly remember being impressed that they had got the same actor to play him.

How do I know that?

Jenae [sp] is young and headstrong, don't forget.

I think I heard DS fall out of bed a while ago, should I go and check on him instead of talking neighbours?

wow, handleme - that's quite amazing.

Thank you for clearing that one up.

(yeuch!)

Oh but weren't you disappointed Squonk that Stonefish was no longer the good looking lad you remembered? Wasn't he always a bit fit, compared to his fat dreadlocked younger bro? Saying that, I guess he still is, in comparison, although Toadie is nice boy.

That'll be cos you're old.

Like me.

pmsl egg

yep, am old.

very

very

old

Rosetta got a call (I think) when she was in a the middle of a legal meeting in the coffee shop, and said she had to go. Or did I dream that?

I think you're right egg, something about a sick aunt who will only have Rosetta by her deathbed or something...

All seems rather odd, doesn't it? Am fearing that whoever suggested she's gone for good is right.

She was shite anyway. Just wish the gimpy hubbie went with her, and took his even more gimpy bro with him...

They can do the removal of a kidney from a live donor by keyhole but the transplant is open abdominal I have had 2!

so, noddy, not wanting to be nosey, but does that mean you have four kidneys?

Yes but my originals were scanned last week and are now the size of walnuts!Mind you I had my first transplant in 1985 so they've not been doing much for years!

wow! am impressed.

(not sure why, but I am indeed impressed )
