Of which Cornish and I are Platinum+ members, my latest was 14 days in the Basingstoke & N Hants last month.
Btw, hope the chemo's going ok.

3 weeks in hospital when I had a collapsed lung 4 years ago
Lung wouldn't re-attach to the chest wall after several attempeted re-inflations over a couple of weeks so got reccomended for surgery, which was delayed by a few days so ended up staying longer than I had to
4 years on and my chest is still numb but at least I can breathe!

6 nights last year after getting appendicitis. I thought it was hell at the time but after reading this thread it no longer seems that bad.

Been to hospital about 6 times in the last 12 months, mostly to do with my left ear, but all short stays. When I was 19, I stayed in hospital for a week after an operation on my ear. I loved the hospital food, so whenever someone asks me if I like it, I always respond with a hearty "Yes, yes I do." Doesn't seem to be the right answer though.
Up until the Summer only for plaster casts etc and this Summer admitted at the end of July, released start of Sep, back in after two weeks, out for two weeks, back in for a week and now fine! Infected ankle joint, not good.

1 afternoon after being stabbed in the knee with a screwdriver by some bog trotting, cabbage gobbler. 4 stitches, quick look down the doctor's cleavage and off home.
Oh, tell a lie. I was born weighing in at 1.8lbs, my twin was 9.5. I contracted meningitis when I was a few days old and spent about a month in a plastic box growing some lungs.

Other than a couple of days at birth, 24 hours to have this implant inserted in my head...
Is that a remote control device? Or an internal earpiece for an MP4?

Oh no there's two of you
Oh yes, you're lucky, there was 3 of us at one time but one didn't make it out. My twin lives in China though and loathes football and the government seems to enjoy switching off the internet at random intervals.

That would have made a quite formidable trio
Ha Indeed. You will be happy to know that the Nibble siblings are made up of 6 boys and 1 sister. My Mum must have had a right bucket on her.

Had a long spell in Charing Cross where my mother was also a nurse when I was a toddler.
Called her nurse for months afterwards apparantly..

I was lined up for a possible pre-Christmas trip to Guildford, where there's a liver specialist that Brighton thought might be interested in me. But the chemo has had the effect of Guildford now thinking that there's not much point in treating a possible symptom that has faded away.
Which is good news.
i had 13 ops in 3 years ending about 5 years ago. simple op went wrong originally (absess by bumhole) got sceptisemia - intensive care for 11days.
wound wouldn't heal. few ops to sort it - didn't work. went st.marks london where they found i had a cyst attached to my bowel and spine. they removed it cutting bit of spine away and leaving me with colostomy bag. when this was reversed a few months later i started leaking poo internally giving me peritinitous (worst pain i could imagine). they put colostomy back. had that reversed several months later - succesfully. i'm now fine - ish.
sorry if this goes on a bit, i could actually of filled many pages going through the whole experience!!
quite an experience - makes respect stuff a lot. even when our seagulls have a bad day!!!!
