It's been said before, but in the heyday of Pixiedom I regularly logged on of an evening to pages and pages of new threads, replies etc! It was fun, and energetic, every. Single. Day.

Now, I'm sure I'm not alone even amongst us stalwarts, in going several days without looking in. Very sad, but it seems to be the way of the world these days.

Howdy all just thought I would pop.in to see what is up !! Alas not.much !!!

No, not a lot happening at ALL! :(

DM

Very little indeed.

Just popping in to say howdy !!! :coffee:

"Howdy" back! :wave:

DM

Its been pretty much a year without our sexy pixies ladies posting !! ( hmmm wonders where they have gone ??)

Would be wonderful if people returned. No idea who might next.

What's shaking in pixies world ???? As Yukon Cornelius says "nuthin"

WOW! :eek:

It's been all over me, and I'm not sure you can even call it 'life'.
I will do some catching up if that's still a thing.

Howdy do, both.

DM

Long time since ANYONE has been in here!

Anyway. I won't be around for a while now, as I am going in to hospital tomorrow (12th) to have almost half of my right lung removed.

Big C has visited me again.

See you all on the other side hopefully!

DM

Yes, far too long since any of MANY long-time Pixies from truly around the world, including myself. :shock:

NOW! The biggest issue is you, DM. We want to see you post on how the recovery is coming along. I'm a little too able to relate to 'lung' issues. :yikes:

Well. The operation itself took nearly twice as long as originally planned, mostly due to somewhat dodgy/incomplete information from the last CT scan I had. Essentially, they have removed the whole upper lobe, and part (maybe as much as half) of the middle lobe of my right lung, due to a fairly significant 'lesion'.

Tumour. It was a fucking TUMOUR Doc, FFS!!! Anyway.

Surgeon is convinced he has got every last molecule of cancer (which was early stage 2, in case you know what that means - related to size alone, from what I can work out. I digress) So now, I have 3 surgical wounds healing nicely, and a drain site hole, also healing. Get a check up from the surgeon in about 6 weeks or so. Gonna be off work for, 3 or 4 months they reckon - I'm 64 next year, so it'll be at least four months if I've got anything to do with it!!

Incidentally, this was found by accident, while scanning for potential bowel cancer, so I've still got that side of things to look forward to! Ho hum.

Still, I'm here to moan about it, and plan to be for a long time yet!! :D

DM

Based on the unknows of your prior post, this is GREAT. It sounds like things are slowly moving but to the up side.
