On Tuesday Cath had her hysterectomy which all went according to plan. Talking today Cath said she still loves the NHS and believes that everyone should have a dashing Mills and Boon consultant just like she did. The nurses have been fantastic and whilst she hasn’t yet got to try NHS food she is building a good appetite for it. She is a little disappointed that those pesky fibroids have not been pickled in a jar and presented to her as a memento.
Cath is now the proud owner of the Airfix Eurofighter Typhoon F MK.2 and has promised that she will be building the plane just as soon as she can.
But no sooner had I turned to leave and let her rest, this is what happened.
That hospital information sheet has started to work already. A hysterectomy really must be a life changing event afterall.

PS: Cath also apologises about the gauge/gouge incident – other things on her mind at the time I think – lets not mention it again heh
Too Much To Say For Myself 
Glad to see Cath is healing well. Want I should send some copies of New Scientist or something, to counter the contents of The Lady? ;o)
HA! Yes I too am sending New Scientist or the Economist or…hmmm….*tries and fails to think of sterotypically male magazines, oh wait, isn’t that all of them except Wimmins’ Magazines?*
Hope you recover quickly Cath.
Everything will return to normal once the anaesthetic properly wears off – hopefully! 🙂
Get well soon Cath x
Yay! Thanks for the update….
Hilarious! Hope you recover soon.
glad it all went well cath! enjoy reading and building and resting!
These photos have given me the best laugh I have had for ages 🙂
Best wishes Cath.
Thanks for the update. I love those photos.
Glad that you’re doing well Cath!
But, there is an actual magazine called The Lady? Really? Or am I just being naive and it is joke fake? 🙂
The Lady is, apparently, Britain’s oldest weekly magazine. The newly appointed editor is Rachel Johnson sister of Boris. The Lady, I have on good authority, is absolutely the best place to find holiday accomodation to rent… strange but true.. And no I don’t read it! I just thing it’s a really weird English anachronism and as such find it a bit fascinating..
Anyways… Just came on to say really pleased to hear everything went well… and the photos are very funny…
Glad to hear you’re on the mend Cath 🙂
I think the Lady only survives because it is traditionally the place that nanny adverts are placed, so anyone looking for a nanny job buys it. Annie Walker from Coronation Street used to get it from Rita’s Kabin, but of course she wasn’t real.
However the issue Cath is reading seems to have an appropriately medical theme. (Or maybe Cath is about to be ennobled for services to trade unionism….)
Hey all. I’m baaack!
I’ll tell you what, they don’t hang around in the NHS these days. I’ve been kicked out of my comfy hospital bed and sent home already.
Anyway, just logged on to say thanks for all the good wishes, and thanks to Linda for the photos. So much for all those promises not to make me laugh in my current delicate state!
Lol
I wish you a swift recovery.
Best wishes for your recovery. And I’m sure you only read The Lady for the articles!
Can I help you with building the plane? That looks like fun!
Does it look like fun? I can’t think of anything more tedious than glueing itsy bitsy pieces of plastic together with the prize at the end of a… er… warplane! Each to their own…
Cath better late than never I’m sending you get well wishes
I went through what you’ve been through in l994, am I too late to tell you when you try to sit up, keep your chin down on your boobs? Don’t do any hoovering for 6 weeks and driving a car is a NO NO NO NO until you see your consultant for the check up. I never got anything pickled in a jar either (!) While I’m here may I wish you a HAPPY Birthday tomorrow even if you celebrate in silent mirth, I sincerely hope you’re back on your feet soon
kindest regards Judith
glad to hear it’s all over and you’re back home.
Hope you’re having a good birthday Cath, or as good as it can be in the circs. Suppose I’d better put my proper pants on to go to the corner shop then.
Nah, you’re ok shopping in your jammies Polly, it’s different rules oooop north isn’t it?
Happy birthday Cath!
Only in Liverpool.
(blatant scousism, oh noes, they’ll get me for that).
Cath
Get well soon!
And when they say you can’t even pick up a kettle, they mean it (if my Mum was anything to go by). Which means you will have to get everyone else to run round after you for a few weeks! \o/

Excellent news.
Kizbot – well it looks fun to me, but then again I should be writing a thesis and because of that, at this moment in time, cleaning my shower seems like ‘fun’… 😉
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Do keep us up to date with how you progress with the housework 😉
ahh Laurelin… Lets not bring up the subject of work/study avoidance tactics… am past mistress of the art… and anyways don’t take my comment seriously… just jokin…
Ha, study avoidance. The only time I ever ironed as a student was when coursework was due or exams were coming up
Course, now I just don’t iron 😉
Sorry if my comment a while back on people wearing pajamas out in Liverpool was classist. Seriously, people do that everywhere. I should clearly shut up.
I didn’t realise you’d even made one BFW. My remark was a traditional bit of Manc – Scouse rivalry (but some of my best friends are from Liverpool honest, and you should hear what they say about Mancunians).
Best get well wishes from America (whose benighted occupants can only wish for something like the NHS!). Please take it easy.
Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony
Oh and re spiders….
