Thank you so much for all your support out there, really helps both of us! Peeps’ gall bladder has gone, just in time, thickened walls, sepsis and gall stones and he is slowly recovering. The PV is solid and is covered with varices on the liver, bile ducts as well as the PV. He will have to come back in for stents in the bile ducts to relieve the pressure on the varices. Thrilled to have him back intact for mo, in his words, the eagle has landed! Anne x

Oh that’s fantastic news. Hopefully he will be discharged and home with you to recover very soon. Love the metal boobs! I’m missing one ☝️

Very good news indeed! It never fails to bring a smile to my face when I read of these victories. We sure share the same sense of humor and it's a wonderful sign of someone's mental health to have that. The tin man would truly be in love with those babies I tell ya. Might have to modify the lyrics a smidge:

"I'd be tender, I'd be gentle

and awful sentimental

regarding metal breasts an art

I'd be friends with the sparrows

With the pants that stands the arrow

If I only had a heart" 😅😅

Not as family movie friendly I suppose but a bit more fitting! Keep us posted Anne 😊

So pleased that everything is moving forward and hopefully he will be home soon. Those metal things look like something that Robocop's wife should be wearing, lol. All good wishes to you both. Alf
