"How long are you planning to stay?" and "When are you going home?"
They both mean practically the same, but one is much more offensive than
the
other.

Well, hopefully KFC won't need to plan on staying in the Miles household
anytime soon. ;o)

I don't think it will come to that. Do *you* need to be grateful? Yes,
yes, yes.

Taking the opportunity of when you drop in, I don't suppose there is any
news of Tortie, Boyfriend's first try at a girlfriend?

I think I saw her around the barn at the dairy farm up the road. I
know that it wasn't one of her kittens since I had her spayed and none
of the babies from her only litter looked like her. If it was her
she looked pretty fat and sassy. I would imagine that there are a lot
of fat mousies to catch and all the milk that she wants to drink.

Phew, I hope it was her, last you said you thought she'd been eaten by
coyotes. I told Boyfie that she'd gone away to be a model and he waited a
while and got himself another wink wink, Mimi.

I hope it was her, if it wasn't it must have been her twin.

When I got my appointment letter 6 or so weeks ago, I was told to arrive on
the ward at 7.30 a.m. I phoned up to say there is no way I can get in for
that time, there is no public transport from my house direct to the hospital
and I have to rely on volunteer "ambulance cars" which don't start now until
8.30. The person asked me what time I thought I could get in, so I said I'd
try and order the first car to get there for about 9. She said this was
okay and sent me another appointment letter with 9 a.m. on it, instead of
7.30.

And the reason my operation was cancelled? No-one had apparently told the
surgeon or the ward that I would need to arrive a bit later, so when I
wasn't there at 7.30 a.m. my surgeon told them to phone me to say he would
not operate on me on that day. I suppose he thought if I couldn't be
bothered to get there on time, he couldn't be bothered to operate on me..
Personally I find this attitude the height of arrogance. I was so upset
when they phoned me to cancel again that I burst into tears.
There's a joke here in the UK: Q"what's the difference between God and a
consultant? A"God knows that he isn't a consultant."

I can hardly work now. I have to keep going to an empty office to lie on
the floor to try and get the thingie back in as it hurts so much when it is
out.
My aunt Margaret was so furious about the 3rd cancellation that she phoned
the hospital and gave them a blast.
I spoke to her this morning and she said that she was so worried about
losing her temper when she rang that she had to pray about it beforehand for
strength to keep calm. That is SO unacceptable at 82.

Purrs and prayers that you can get this sorted out quickly, and
hopefully with a different surgeon.

Aarrgh!!!

Oh, no. I know how psyched up you were and ready to get it over with
and go on. I'm so sorry. Did they give you a reschedule date yet?

No.
Thanks for your supportive reply. It helps, it really does.


Reschedule date is now March 21. Heard today.
I don't think I'll be able to work for much longer, if at all. I had to
spend a lot of today lying down so the firkin thing would go back through
gravity, it's getting past being able to press it back. How stupid to let
this go on for so long.
And as Auntie Margaret said when she rang up the hospital "She didn't have
a hernia until you operated on her, so you just need to clean up the mess
you made.."
She may be 82, but never mess with Auntie M.!
She told me that she prayed that she wouldn't lose her temper because she
was so furious, and it worked.
She was able to put her point across without getting angry and she was
surprised that she could do it.
Bless her little cotton socks. She is an amazing woman. There is almost
nothing she cannot do.

Yay for Auntie M! I used to have an Aunt Marguerite who was pretty
amazing too. She passed away a few years ago.

That is too long to wait when you are in such discomfort. Purrs for the
time to fly.

P.S.: Can someone please explain what the expression "Bless her little
cotton socks" means?

LOL! I haven't heard that in a long time. My grandmother used to say
that.
It's just an expression of fondness and concern for someone you care
about. Same as "bless her heart." (or, here in the south, "Bless her
little pea-pickin' heart.)
