great news clive

Excellent news Mr O.

I think Mrs O also is in need of much praise.

Glad to hear things are on the up Clive, many well wishes for a continued and well earned speedy recovery.

I offered to take her to Paris, but it was overlooked/ignored.

Why didn't you offer to take her to Florence?

Clive had already paid for the trip to Paris.

I put the proposal to MrsO but as she has never met you she was concerned what people might think. Now if Oliver had asked...

Would she like to see my CV?

I'll ask her this evening.

I wouldn't bother, It is one of my weaker selling points.

She's disappointed.

Tonight's wound dressing was interesting insofar as the gunk outpouring is even more reduced which is really encouraging but the dark red tongue of bioglue is now jutting out even further in a faintly obscene manner. Hopefully it will either drop off of its own volition or will be severely trimmed by the surgeon next week. It makes me rather queasy to think about it let alone look at it.

You're not helping, Andy.

The lampshade thing got me thinking: Maybe licking the glue is what it needs in order to biodegrade. So either its some yoga for you clive or perhaps mrs 0.............

At weekends, as the outpatients department is closed, I go to a ward in the main hospital and present myself at the nurses station. I am shown to a room where a nurse comes in to change my dressing. Yesterday, the nurse looked at the tongue of glue and asked me about it. I explained what it was, how the surgeon had trimmed it a week and a half earlier and how I was looking forward to a fresh trimming when I saw him on Tuesday. It was increasing uncomfortable as it gradually climbed out of its burrow in my buttock.

Today, she told me that she had seen the surgeon and asked him about it. He said that he had trimmed it. She said it was poking out further. He said it wasn't meant to do that. She said that whatever it was meant to do or not, it was doing exactly that. She told me that it took a while to convince him but once she had he suggested that she give it a tug and see what happened. If it didn't move, she should trim it.

I averted my eyes. She tugged. A lump of blood red bioglue came out.

A huge feeling of relief in the buttock region.

The lump was around 1.5" x 1.5" x 0.3". It tapered into a point. It had sat an inch a and a half into my buttock causing understandable discomfort. A deep hole remains but it is a deep hole that can now think about healing without having to worry about slowly ejecting a large foreign body.

About 2 minutes ago, I was eating a (then) delicious jacket potato filled with butter, chilli con carne and grated cheese.

Thanks a bundle Clive!

:)

Did you get to keep it? You should make a saddle hanger/keyring out of it.

Quoted dimensions suggest wine bottle stopper, no?

Cliveo, hope the healing continues apace and you're back on the bike before you know it.

I don't understand why you had a piece of glue, that big, stuck in your bum?

Dont knock it till you've tried it.

Sammy, the glue was put in in order to pull the original lesion together in addition to stitches. Although the surgeon was able to put his entire hand in the lesion, he could not reach the end and so could not stitch there and so, he bunged in loads of glue to help bring the whole thing together. There is still glue in the original lesion but it is gradually degrading. This errant spike of glue decided to make a bid for freedom.

I did suggest to the nurse that I might keep it as a souvenir but she treated my remark as an off colour joke and promptly dropped the lump from her tweezers into the bin. It had a stitch hanging from it which I could have used to tie it to my saddle. Missed opportunity.

you could have fished it out of the bin.
freegan fail.

haha! fair enough. So the rest of the glue will just dissolve into you, rather than pop out?
I landed on my arse pretty hard last night, tried to jump up my mates stairs so i could ring the door bell whilst on my bike, completing the journey without putting a foot down. I had to jump up 2 pretty big steps, brakeless with Time Atacs and judged it slightly wrong. Was an epic fail.

Clive, I will happily dremel you a replica out of my beloved collection of ear wax if you like- send pics!

Carve it out of Ti?????

Oh and GET BETTER!!!!!

Sammy, that sounds painful. Hope you are OK.

Scherrit, that is plain sick. No thanks.

I keep visualising the removal of the glue and as I do so I emit an audible sigh of relief.
