Thank You for being there.....

Hi Wendy

Great news, you'll feel so much better. Did you have keyhole surgery?

I had mine out in 1990 by keyhole, it transformed my life, mine were more like silt so although they gave them to me for my mantlepiece, they weren't that interesting to look at so I binned them!!

Hope you're being pampered during your recovery

Glad you've been enjoying Strictly :-)

Well Dexy, are we noticing yet another RA coincidence, how many have had their gall bladders out as well as being premature, what was the other one a couple of weeks a go you spotted?

Lancet

allanah in reply to allanah

So we think that RA is caused , in our totally unscientific theory by prematurity, gall bladder surgery and PCOS lol :) let's get straight in the lab now

Yep, me too, in 1968! Age 29. Maybe the coincidence is in auto-immune diseases, inflammations, etc

I forgot to say that a few weeks after I had mine done I received a survey to complete. The reason for this was that they were surveying the first 100 keyhole procedures they'd done nationally to remove gall bladders, I was number 10!

I asked the consultant when I went back for the post op review what sort of training they received, he said they practiced on chickens as they have a similar anatomy and oranges because they're like human skin, s'pose that's why cellulite is described as orange peel:-)

I had two good-sized stones, so asked the surgeon for them. He was also my boss at the time so..remember tha rock tumbler that you could put a rock in and let it tumble until it got shiney? Well, I told him I would polish them and have cuff-links made..hahaha, never got that far, but he got a big kick out of the idea :)
