Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck in the next few days ... or don't, if you prefer so.

Gotta sleep a bit now. See you later.

The monster has been identified as ovarian cancer which had spread in the abdomen forming some omental cake with parts of the colon in two places. It took 9 hours to remove the mess (almost entirely), and weeks for the remains of my colon to learn its new paths, but hell, eventually I feel that I got over the worst of this first and most exhausting stage of counteraction ... ...

Many, many thanks to you all for your good wishes and energies ... ...

I'm slightly lucky to be alive.
The sparky's been working at the new place, fitting the new meter box.
Went over there to put some more wood on the stove to help the tile cement dry & he wasn't there but there's a hole in the wall about the size of a 7" record where he's been cutting out the wall to fit the thing.
So as not to let all the heat out I stuffed it with screwed up paper.
Speaking to him on the phone a little later, it turns out he's discovered a "pirate" cable into the house that was by-passing the meter & that the hole I merrily stuffed had a live mains cable sticking out of it.

That is very sweet of you, sam1 ... ... thought of my first visit to Glasgow for The Sisters show in 2011 recently,
and of all the lovely places you got me to, including the HL meet up in the pub before the gig, where I met so many Sisters fans
for the first time (including dear James) ... ... forever a highlight ... ...

Anyway, I'm glad to be released from hospital since Friday. Gotta eat lots of good food and build strength now for the next stage,
for I'm definitely decided to get over this mess... ... thank you all for your support ... ...
