Seven litres of blood lost during the operation, which the surgeon declared a success even though, in his words, "Things got a bit rocky." Transfusions, a couple of days in Intensive Care, and then down onto the ward, one kidney and its 13cm tumour lighter. A huge cut-line and staples all across my front.

Glad you made it! I always tend to feel that as long as you can make poetry out of suffering, you're coming out ahead.
ReplyDeleteYes, once the noise of worry & suffering has quietened enough to let some words come through - which hasn’t happened much this year! Thanks, Dave, great to hear from you -M
