What are you all up to

Another one for a full size DW and use it once a day, use it for everything in fact no matter how small, and if it isn't dishwasher proof it doesn't get bought or used. 

Moved on down to an East Cheshire CL this morning. Managed to get away and set up in the dry, but drove through numerous showers en route. It has stayed dry for the rest of the day and is quite warm, but it is raining at the present.

Got some really good, if surprising news, yesterday afternoon. Ros had been waiting for the results of her bone density scan after her fall in April - got a text from our GP to say that the results were absolutely normal, she hasn't got Osteoporosis, and she can stop taking that dreadful Alendronic acid tablet every week. I actually saw the Doctor on another matter this morning and to say he was surprised was a bit of an understatement!

Thanks for all the good wishes, it is indeed a cancellation, hence the short notice.

I saw the surgeon yesterday for a short appointment and was made aware of the risks,  mainly that my voice could be affected but should recover, and that there could be some bleeding which may look alarming but is not dangerous and will sort itself out.

Also some different info from before.  I had been told it was 2 glands that were enlarged, they are normally the size of a grain of rice, but in fact it is only one gland, and it is now 20mm long!    Also that it will not be a keyhole procedure as the 3 other glands need to be  visually checked, so a full length incision at the front of the neck , hence the no driving for 2 weeks as I should not strain the stitches by turning my head.

Operation will be at the nearby big hospital, I have to be there by 9am on Thursday, and if all goes well I will just be in for 1 night.  Now trying to get as many essential tasks completed before then as possible.

Sunny day here, which is good as I am now off across town for my pre op check, not sure what that involves, but taking some of my blood was mentioned.  OH is staying home to do some washing while the panels are producing.

Great news richardandros.  👍👍

.....and the dishwasher debate carries on....  I've got about 2 weeks to decide....  January sales, and all that!!!... 😀😀

All the best, KjellNN.  Hope everything goes well - I'm sure it will.  From past experience, from what I can remember, a pre-op is just a blood test and checking all the paperwork.... making sure they have any relevant medical history noted down /medication lists /allergies etc  I guess they may well do blood pressure and 'invite' you to step on the scales to check weight.... 🙂

Good news for you R&R, best wishes and a speedy recovery to you K.

There’s no debate whatsoever about a DW in this house😁We don’t even debate the make, Neff/Bosch.👍 I asked OH what he thought was most unusual thing that’s ever been through our dishwasher….it went a bit quiet, and then he confessed their might have been some classic car bits gone through at some point🫣 I once came home from work to find a dismantled MG Gearbox in kitchen……🤣

Hope all goes well KJ - I'm sure it will and that you make a speedy recovery.

We are definitely in the full-sized dishwasher camp - it's on virtually every day and perhaps twice if Ros has one of her cooking sprees

I second all the "hope all goes well" comments. I assume that's the Thursday a few days before Christmas?

We have just got back from MK Hospital where Margaret saw the doctor about her carpal tunnel problems. He said one hand was severe but the other one was very severe! They will do the worst one first. We are not sure how long as they have a method of planning the operations which, as its a short operation might be tagged onto a day when they are doing major surgery or sometimes they do a series of the same operation in the same day. Hopefully not before Christmas/New Year.
