Complications
Now there's a word that can be used with understatement.
I've not been on for a while as I've been in hospital.
I went in for hip replacement ( resurfacing) in the morning and the wife was getting worried as she'd heard nothing......then gets a call telling her there had been a complication....AND I'm in intensive care on a ventilator/life support
As you can imagine she freaked and rushed down...I was touch and go for four days when they brought me round and took me off the machines. The wife was even planning my funeral......
I was a bit confused...lost four days but was alive at least. I had another 4 days on a ward and then back home. Only just able to now to sit at the pc and do a bit of surfing. ( 6 weeks later )
What a nightmare
The poor scoob is desperate for a wax but at least the wife has been running her regularly.
Taffy -- alive and kicking.....

Pulmonary aspiration....basically, as they were bringing me round from the operation I was sick and inhaled it into my lungs and they stopped working.
When they brought me round from the ventilator 4 days later I was coming round as they removed the pipes from my throat and I remember that happening....was wierd looking up at all these people .....in fact I was quoted as saying after the pipe came out..."thank F*** for that"...apparently that was the first time that happened ever...

Glad to hear you are well on the road to recovery, I'll give you one thing you don't do things by halves.
How's the car now, has the phantom fault ever re-occurred?
