Thrown under a bus... Ouch!

Oh no. Who'd you take the fall for?

Thank you for the support everyone I really needed it Saturday when trying to work out what to do. I went to initial hospital ER and have been here at the Mater since. I have an 8.9mm gallstone in my bile duct trying to get out through a 7mm opening. I am now a strange yellow colour, but my liver is holding up well and so far there is no infection. Any food sets off the pain so I am rapidly losing weight. The procedure (which I can't name) to crush the stone will be at the John Hunter on Wednesday.

This is the first time I've been able to access the internet since admission so may not be a get a signal again.

Thanks again
Fiona

(My bolding) Lithsotripsy? Had one of those a number of years ago (kidney stones, not gall stones). Very clever, those doctors!

Actually I would say definitely smooth and rough and misshapen. I have seen some very large gall stones that do look and feel like rocks - and one patient even had hers made into a necklace ! Kidney stones don't get as large as gall stones but they can be smooth or lumpy too.

My mum's kidney stone looked and felt like a 1cm shark tooth, needle sharp.

Sounds like you are still alive to tell the tale, which is good.

Just sent my final shot at my former workplace... I'm quite glad to no longer work for an organisation that lacks morals.

That doesn't sound good.

Deep pockets required for this game The World's Biggest Oil Traders Are Now Storing Crude In Leased Supertankers | Business Insider

The shipping lists indicate the trading firms have been able to hire the VLCCs for less than $US40,000 a day – well below spot rates closer to $US97,000 a day, the highest in years, which had so far put off many oil traders

Is a panel beater required?

Seriously, whatever it is, best of British!

I've been given a loan car to drive while mine is being repaired. Its quite a reminder of my first car (a Mitsubishi Mirage), but with less zip. Takes the whole on ramp of the freeway to get up to 100km/h, which is not helped by the noddy in front merging at 80. An sounds like a tank. The sooner I get mine back the better.

You need to pedal faster!

It certainly feels that way :shock:

They had it correct in the heading but not on the video. Clearly their strength isn't English nor copying.

There's a new record. 6 days on holiday and not a single game of golf.

Much rather be playing golf.
