Well I gave the lady surgeon the thrill of her life on Wednesday when I finally got into see her. She asked how long I'd had the hernia and I said about 10 years so she then wanted to know why I was wanting to get it fixed now. I said I was sick of being nagged by my wife and kids - so then it was onto the bed for the viewing- she took one look before grabbing her surgical gloves and then exclaimed - "It's Huge" before heading back to her desk and telling me I could get dressed.
She then explained that she couldn't do the operation in Dalby and that she now understood why my wife and kids were nagging me. She then proceeded to do a very exaggerated drawing on her notes showing the hernia in relation to the scrotum.
Evidently she then wrote the word massive hernia on the notes as her secretary who rang the next day to tell us how much it would cost in St Andrews in Toowoomba seemed to be quite tickled by what the doctor had written.
So I am booked in for the 11th July in Toowoomba.
I hope this will get you all off my back - must remember to get my will up to date and cut all of you out of it.
Love Dad.
