Fingers crossed, good luck Grandma!

Oh guys, it's crunch time. My grandmother is being operated on tomorrow to try and remove a slow growing malignant tumour from one of her kidneys. Touchwood it should all be a fairly routine operation and after a couple of days in hospital to check her recovery, she should be back staying with us by the end of the week until she is able to go home again. Having said that, I lost my grandmother on my fathers side to exactly the same problem back in '93 - the only difference was that that was malicious. :(( Hows that saying go... thank god for small mercies? And how long did she have to wait? Well, if we had to pay for it ala US of A style - insurance likely wouldn't cover her at 85 and given the family history - she would wait indefinately, as it is, with the good old NHS, from discovery to (hopefully) removal it has been eight weeks. Fingers crossed. I'm thinking of you Grandma. :rose: Now it's time to raid the toffee tin before she gets back! Grandma's - don't you just love 'em? ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v. Chiefly British Dave's Code Project Screensaver and Wallpaper page.
Hope she comes out ok David. My grandfather is in hospital getting treatment for tumors in his stomach and on his kidney. I know what all the worrying can be like.

Best of luck to your grandma tomorrow, David. I feel quite bad at the moment because I rarely visit my grandma - the only one I have. It's down to sheer laziness on my part - I think I'm going to start visiting her more often now. Once again, here's hoping everything goes well. There's no reason why it shouldn't with such a simple operation anyways. Let us know what happens! :) Simon This message has not been scanned for viruses. It may destroy your hard drive.

It seems to be resonably common in older people, probably one of the side effects of prolonging our lives so much more than they were designed for nowadays. I hope everything goes well your side of the Irish sea too. ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.

Just had a rant in the lounge about nothing much, just a normal bad day, then read your message and it puts things in perspective. None of it really matters when you compare it to things like you are going through. Best Wishes and Good Luck to you and your Grandma :rose: :rose: :rose: ali p

Best of luck to your Grandma, David... I hope all goes well.

The medical staff even made house calls in his finals weeks to care for him so my mom would be spared the pain of doing it herself.

Well this morning she came out of theatre, and as of 2 pm this afternoon she was back on a general ward. She has a drip 'cause she can't eat of drink for the next few days, and she was totally nackered. She also had her ovaries removed as a safeguard because one of her sisters had problems a few years back. She has had the standard tests which will take a few weeks to compute, but she should be staying with us in under a week. :-D Thanks for all the good thoughts and well wishes! ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.

Read my self-reply just above yours, titles --UPDATE--. She is back in a ward and seems to be recovering normally. Hopefully she will be staying with us within a week wilst she recovers enough to be able to go home. ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.
