Operation Holemaster – Post 11

I’m escaping tomorrow night. The tunnel is nearly ready. It starts behind Cash Money’s bed. We’re all in on it, Cash Money, Myself, Mr Bean, Grandpa Simpson, The Greek and Bertie Whooster.
Cash Money’s snoring covered up the digging noise. Each morning, we ate all our porridge, then filled up the bowls again with the dirt [...]

I’m alive – more about that later.
 
I have so much material from the last week I cannot put it one post so this one is just a brief run down of a character opposite me.

Got the call earlier to come in by 5pm today as there is a bed available. Better grab it now so I’m not waiting another week for this. Looking forward to getting this done now and start the recuperating. Doc said I might be out in a week to ten days which is [...]

Operation Holemaster – Post 7

In limbo land at the moment, waiting to be brought back in for surgery. But limbo land in my own place is good and friends and family and calling by and I can go for walks by the sea when it’s not raining.

Operation Holemaster – Post 6

I’m home for a week or so. Surgery postponed for a week or so due to more urgent cases ahead of me. Also heard that the cancer cell type is non-small which means that it is less aggressive and less likely to have spread anywhere at this early stage. So that’s more positive news. I [...]

Operation Holemaster – Post 5

Some advice for anyone planning more than a few days in hospital – Bring a laptop.
It never occurred to me to bring one in until someone mentioned it to me. I suppose I thought that hospitals were still about punishing you for being ill. No comforts, just basics only and strict rules of movement and [...]
