Sounds like I need to do some more stitch fiddling.<br /><br />@GentlemanAdmn - I'm still a bit unsure about posting this! In part my reticence is because at the outset is was to be something v minor and quick.<br /><br />@VirtualVictorian - thanks - nearly there now, just need to remember where I work and what I do there!<br /><br />@drop4three - yes, I'm generally pretty healthy, and this is pretty minor, and it won't be ongoing.SomeBeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076372969807940310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-9066546809211323592010-11-09T23:11:19.146+00:002010-11-09T23:11:19.146+00:00Good to hear you're on the mend.

I like the uninterrupted sleep.<br /><br />Nice post.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026570500023144107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-57108086062772718872010-11-09T20:31:25.910+00:002010-11-09T20:31:25.910+00:00Great post - and hope all well now.Great post - and hope all well now.Essie Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611324005960689918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-58473626989000988512010-11-09T20:12:44.411+00:002010-11-09T20:12:44.411+00:00I had that very though this morning, both you and ...I had that very though this morning, both you and @billygottajob have been blogging so much recently. (and i've been blogging so little) Been hard to keep up, but always appreciate your posts. I'm sorry the burst of writing was for those reasons but I'm glad you're on the mend. I wonder why we find it so hard to talk about private things like illnesses, guess it's that british thing of not wanting to complain or sound like we're fishing for attention? You don't come across as either btw.The Gentleman Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880678320464729842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-46980734958396374162010-11-09T19:54:30.434+00:002010-11-09T19:54:30.434+00:00A really interesting and insighful blogpost,Ian.I&...A really interesting and insighful blogpost,Ian.I'm glad that all went well, and found your recollection of your anaesthesia most amusing-I had the same after an appendectomy,recited Winnie-the-Pooh poems to an amused ward...and as for my stitches..months.They lasted months.Anna Hedgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-80943519704431635842010-11-09T16:34:03.537+00:002010-11-09T16:34:03.537+00:00@SimonHiggins - actually I got a clue rather than ...@SimonHiggins - actually I got a clue rather than the name - he said I might taste phenol as I went under - propofol fits the bill.

Your story of the anaesthetic reminds me of a minor op I had when 17 and fascinated by chemistry - as the anaesthetist prepared to inject me, I asked what he was using. Misunderstanding my interest for concern, he made soothing noises rather than just telling me, and I never did find out what it was!Simon Higginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-55341177354249010102010-11-09T15:05:16.516+00:002010-11-09T15:05:16.516+00:00Must admit to having quite a long think before pos...Must admit to having quite a long think before posting this, in a way I wanted to as a record of my life but it is quite personal. It is also some justification for the huge amounts of time I've spent on twitter and blogging recently!SomeBeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076372969807940310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36070744.post-23451639961285648402010-11-09T13:59:52.372+00:002010-11-09T13:59:52.372+00:00I am no longer jealous of the time you have had fo...I am no longer jealous of the time you have had for social media.<br /><br />And, you have your own column in my tweetdeck now :-)twaza (@wassabeee on twitter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11078200068429582694noreply@blogger.com
