WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!

Well the time arrived for me to get my throat slit.

Not nice, my thyroid was growing down towards my heart, it had crushed my feed pipe and wind pipe by 70% it wouldn't be long before it killed me.


4 hours in theatre ( they were banking on 40mins to an hour) it was the size of a rotisserie chicken she said.😆

You can hardly see it....😬
Wow, that made my spine tingle. But glad to hear that everything went well. Best wishes for your recovery Peter.

I was going to have a moan about Vet prices. But then took a check and remembered that's business, mate.
 
For anyone interested this is the opp i had on Tuesday, this ladies thyroid was growing outwards whereas mine was growing neg laterally so needed a bit more fishing and pulling.


The video is long and tedious but interesting to me, and my wife took a wierd pleasure from watching it too.



My surgeon said mine was the size of a rotisserie chicken, now surely rotisserie chickens are different sizes . anyway she also said i was 2 minutes away from getting my chest opened by the chest team, ( who were waiting in the wings ) but at the last attempt it released from my mediastinum and flopped out.
 
Sytner MINI today
Full (major) service (including plugs) and an MOT.....£500 phew

But remember, as we've been told, that's business mate. Sure beats seeing your motor up a day later for THOUSANDS of pounds more than you believed it would be :-) Sorry, apparently that's business too!
