GET WELL LANCE - AUSSIE123

[Bi_polar]

I have spoken to Lance this morning and he tells me that the outcome of the operation was not as good as he hoped.

While reaming out the left artery that comes off the bottom of the heart they damaged the right artery coming off the bottom of the heart.

So things are not so good for our Marlin Hunting buddy.

He was supposed to only be in there for a couple of days but looks like it will be alot longer than that.

Now he has to have surgery againg tomorrow morning. He was going in for emergency surgery this morning but it got put off till tomorrow morning.

So let our thoughts be with him.

Cheers

[Gary_C]

Our thoughts with you Lance for a quick recovery. Here to help out if there is anything you need mate.

[aussie123]

Hi guys.

Thanks everyone for the support and best wishes.

The surgery I came in for went far better than ever expected and for the next 7-8 hours laying flat on a bed all seemed just perfect.

It wasn't till I got up and tried to walk that we discovered they somehow took out my main artery in my right leg.

At this stage they believe my right leg and foot is safe for the short term until they work out what has gone wrong.

Tomorrow morning is a Barage of tests then an angiogram and possible surgery again after that

I avoided that dreaded bypass so everything in a way is only a minor issue now.

Anyway guys thanks for all your support here and if I can I will post up an update tomorrow night when we hopefully know a bit more.

Thanks everyone

Lance

Hi guys.

Just a quick update.

Some of the monsters have about 10 arms and legs and some I have no idea what they are. Lol

Good shit this stuff.

Anyway back to my update.

First surgery today failed to correct the problem so I was rushed back in this arvo.

3 hours later and a 20 odd cm butterfly fillet hopefully everything will be fixed or at least better than I was.

[tugger]

I told you Lance i had a sharp filleting knife with me last weekend we could have fixed you up over a beer

[Surfingant]

Hopefully they're on the right path mate.

[Bi_polar]

Yeah Tugger, nothing what a good fillet knife and a deck wash cant fix.

Hang on Lance, you've tried the fillet knife yourself before and it didn't work..... :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

[Scope]

Just saw this thread for the first time. All the best mate, hope you get better soon.

[aussie123]

Hiyas.

Just a quick update again for all concerned.

I woke up this morning so friggin sore and beginning to turn purple from the groin down.

I was talking to ted and stu mid morning when I quickly felt very sick and wanted to throw up.

Someone found me and raced me back to the ward where a team of docs were waiting.

Nothing was obvious at the time except my temp crashed 1.6 degrees and heart rate crashed as well.

Something is still badly wrong so I guess tomorrow will be another day on the slab again.

PS: Don't worry brad,still working on getting that anchor up for ya.lol

[zan0_15]

[aussie123]

My veins are trying to jump out of my skin now with so much pressure behind them.

Atleast I have half a dozen chicks playing flip flop with me every day,something none of you guys are getting,,,LMFAO

[jon]

[aussie123]

Today I finally got to see what was lurking under the bandages off good leg.

This one was perfect prior to the surgery the other day.

It just goes to show how quickly things can turn around on you.

Anyway today ok and feeling real good and finally on the road to recovery.

I start physio tomorrow apparently so hopefully I may get to go home in several days time.

Bugger,cannot add a pic.

Maybe Ted or someone can add that pic for me

Great to hear you are feeling better today. It was a worry hearing about the ups and downs of the last few days. Here is the pic. Gee this is going to leave a scare.

[aussie123]

Thanks Ted.

Yea the scar is going to be horrific.

What ever happened to making incisions and stitches as neat as possible with minimal scarring.

[Bi_polar]

You'de be suprised Lance, those staples leave less scars than stiches

Get well buddy

[ellicat]

Lance, Over the next few days you can think up a terrific story of the shark attack to tell people when they enquire as to how you got that scar .... or you could just tell them the true scary story :side:

[ChrisC]

but r the nurses hot?

looks painful mate
