Chryston adventurers, including Bad Boy Bennie, Cuddly Cuthbertson and (yet to be nicknamed ) Paton and well know the serious problems we have had over the years with Roger's feet. In fact everytime we go away he presents us with another therapeutic challenge. So, it was hardly surprising to me that once again he required medical attention here in Rwanda.
An operation was needed, and undertaken earlier today. Dr Macfarlane once again undertook very careful and quite major surgery. The patient required a prolonged convalescence. We thought you would love to see the videos - the operation. There was also a post mortem and that video will be available on our return home
I would like to personally make several apologies:
To Roger for not using anaesthetic when I had some in my case!
To Ian Brown because I had to do the pathology without his expertise present,
To the Chryston football team, because Roger will never play again - Rick please note and
To you bloggers and particularly to anyone who ruptures a muscle through uncontrollable laughter
Enjoy the video - Oh Joy!
Just as well I'd had my tea you two!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Laurel and Hardy now.
btw Roger, local anaesthetic would have made it 10 times worse.
Can't believe that there's only just the one comment before this. If this had been the BBC, the switchboards would have been jammed with people demanding the return of their licence fees...
ReplyDeleteQuite cunning to get the patient to hold the camera and film his own operation. Didn't see that one coming, Roger!
Enjoying blog very much. Very amusing - especially video of Rog's operation - sorry Rog! Good to read how each day has been going. Give John Mutesa a big hug from Craig and i . Tell him Craig (Iron Man) Rodger and Margaret are asking for him and send their love.Glad to read Garlic has not been as grumpy recently, although maybe after that op it will be Rod's turn.
