Howzit guys, thanks for the BD wishes. It's been a hectic couple of months...


Quite a while ago I was discussing with Becs that I can't handle fatty foods so well...turns out I had a sick gallbladder. So I had it removed end of April...


I nearly shat myself going into surgery. If there is one thing I am scared of, it's a dentist and a hospital.


One moment the anaesthesiologist asked if I felt more relaxed from what he had injected me with...the next moment waking up in recovery feeling like I was in the matrix :)


The drugs they use is scary shit...so yes, still recovering but feeling fine. I am riding my bike again. Not right now with all these storms we're having in the Western Cape.

Try to simplify your responses with eg a name, there's no need for any melodrama. You seem caught between attention-seeking and overreaction..

Howzit, M


Hope you are recovering well.


Lets hope they don't cancel the marathon again this year.


i had some highly disappointed friends and relatives last year. These cardio bunnies don't like when their events get cancelled

Thanks Plum. The Sanlam Cape marathon is 24th of May...sure the weather will be fine, no major storms coming as far as the weather Bureau forecasts.

Good to see you back M....I had the same problem about 2 years ago...mine was quite painful before they took it out...my sympathies...my recovery went great, but it takes a while before you're 100% again.

Thanks DB. Sorry about your Dad...my doctor tells me that it's quite a common occurrence that people have their gallbladder removed.


Mine was also painful beforehand...mine was luckily removed via laparoscopic cholecystectomy.


Where they make four small cuts, use a camera and four tubes with tools inserted through them. Less invasive than open surgery and faster recovery.


Any case, I'm happy it's over. I read you're an American now :) All the best with the rednecks...;)
