@rcw1 most sadly alcohol has not passed down my throat for over 5 years ago. The cocktail of medications I was on back then with the booze component had me climbing up the wall.

One not so funny incident at the time when I was in RPH.
On a cocktail of opioids and on about the 3rd night in the early hours I woke up in a sweat and panic.
Rang for the nurse who came running,
What's the matter G, look at my legs I blurted out.
Nothing wrong with them said she.
No, no I cried.
The bloody rats have eaten them off to the knees, can't you see that.
So she humoured me while giving me jab of something that knocked me out for several hours.
When I came too she was still there to see how I was and casually asked how are your legs, fine said I.
Later on, on night shift she recounted the episode to me.
Not very funny at the time but looking back a good party joke at my expense.

Sounds like a Bindoon Rock weekend incident, to me.
It's good your back on board and firing on all cylinders, the Captain will be happy to whistle you aboard, he's got me on ignore.

Ah now the good Capt C-Weed banished me a long time ago for reasons only known him.Sounds like a Bindoon Rock weekend incident, to me.

Perhaps it might have been because of my lambasting him.
Walked the plank and left to my own devices to reach dry land.
Capt Blight would have been proud of my efforts after that 1000km swim to a land far, far away.

I had a post op visit to the esteemed heart surgeon at his rooms at St John's this afternoon.
The bit that I wasn't looking forward to was the removal of the surgical strip that covered the cut down the middle of the rib cage.
As he was inspecting his handiwork, casually mentioned that it was about time it came off.
I thought that it would be done at the local GP's treatment room when I next visited there.
In a flash he had grabbed the bottom of it, and bingo off it came.
More of a surprise than any pain associated with its removal, and it feels so much better that it is off.
The road to recovery is well and truly marching on.

By this time tomorrow WA time I will once again be on the slab at St John's Subiaco for an Elective DC Cardioversion.
This is I hope will be the last of these hospital visits to the Operating Rooms.

The slab room is always freezing, the warm blanket they wrap you in is always great.
