As many of you will remember, my Hubby was due to go to Iraq within the next few days...... well.... Does anyone also remember last year, when hubby was very poorly in hospital with his Kidney? He had an operation and all was ok.... except that when he went for his follow up appointment the consultant said they had found an abnormality on his other Kidney ( a second tube that should not be there) and The consultant was going to discuss what should be done with some colleagues.. well we thought no more about it...... then what should happen, This morning a letter arrives from the consultant , saying that there was a far to great a risk of infection leaving the second kidney as it is and they need to operate ASAP.... so.... Hubby cant go anywhere now..... brilliant!!!! but he has to have his other Kidney operated on.... Not brilliant.... oh dear.... :((x

Em I hope he is OK. Glad he doesn't have to go overseas though Germaine x

I don't know the circumstances of your hubbys trip Em, but hope it's a blessing in disguise. Good luck for him with the op. Heather x

Thanks heather and germaine.... honestly, one worry replaced with another! at least this worry means i can be with hubby through his oredeal ;))

Do you know , Gwynne... i think it was! x

I know I'd feel safer in the hands of the Docs than in Iraq at the moment :) Maybe it's a blessing in disguise :)

As you said, at least he is home with you....all the very best. Sal xx

I am sure that this is the lesser of the two evils. Thinking of you both and hoping everything goes well for your husband. Jean x.

Mixed blessings come to mind Em sure its for the best. Dx

Once hubby gets over the shock of having to have a second op, i am sure he will see the funny side to all this ;))

Sorry to hear about your husband Em. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember if you want to talk,or need a cup tea/coffee, i live in west brigdford. take care helen.

hard not to feel guilty, about being relieved. but think its better for him to be near you at this moment in time, instead of iraq where you would both worry endlessly about the other, consolation being if he was in iraq and anything happened to kidney over there wouldn,t want him in an iraqi hospital ...jim

Hi Helen... i didnt know you lived so close! i often go to Asda's there ;))

Yes Jim, you are completely right.. and that is why the consultant says he cant go over there. The op is not life threatening, whereas Iraq is!

EM best wishes to hubby hope he's well soon Howiexxxx

I go there as well Em!! but from to day we have a marks and spencers? {we are getting posh?} helen

Hubby is feeling fine thanks Howie... he just has a little time bomb ticking away in his kidney! lol.

ooh Helen, i read about that... i didnt know it had opened... where exactly is it?

Do hope all goes well with the op and that it prevents further trouble. I am sure it is the lesser of two evils. Ann Glos
