Bibio - poorly

[appollo1]

Hi folks

Most of you know Bibio whether it's through his sunday ride outs or his mechanical knowledge and that he had his bike nicked a few weeks ago.

If you have been on one of his bimbles you may have noticed that he was having a lot of pain in his shoulder.

Well i had a call from him yesterday to tell me that he is currently in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Came as a bit of a shock to me. :eek:

He was getting checked for possible problems with his heart and i believe that the results had come back ok. The doctors were going to give him an angiogram ( http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=2256 ) to investigate further.

I received a message from Bibio today to tell me that he has to have a triple by pass.

I have asked him if he minded me telling you all and he was ok with that so I just thought i would let you all know.

Not sure when he is getting the surgery but I am sure you will all be a stunned as I was to hear this.

Get well soon Lance.

[DarrenSV650S]

Bloody hell thats a bit serious. Hope everything gets sorted and you're back to normal soon mate :)

[Milky Bar Kid]

Man, not good.

GWS Bibio

[madness]

Hope everything goes well and the op. is a success.

[maviczap]

It sounds very scary, but after my dad and my father in law both had this op their health improved dramatically, so there is a positive side.
Plus with the modern treatments, recovery is really quick too.

So GWS Bibio

[petevtwin650]

I received a message from Bibio today to tell me that he has to have a triple by pass.


Thank God, that means he won't be buying a Triumph then! :smile:

Hope they can operate quickly and he makes a rapid and full recovery.

[Seggons]

Blimey, GWS Mr Bibio. :)

[JediGoat]

Good grief! Here's to a speedy recovery for him.

Pete - Please pass on my best wishes to Bibio and his family...

A TBP is major surgery, but they have one of the best teams in the country up here... He's in good hands. I'm sure he'll make a speedy recovery and will be back on that bike in time for the warmer weather!

He better he's still got my scottoiler to fit! ;)

[jaromic]

Seems a shame not to get the fourth one done at the same time...

My old fella had it done 14 years ago and he's just turned 80, a proper new lease of life. Hurts like f*ck mind you. ;-)

Get well soon mate. :-)

[svdemon]

Stop nancying about and get back on your bike! On a more serious note wish you all the best for the op and heres to a speedy recovery!

[peterco]

Have visited Bibio (Lance) today in hospital. He is in good spirits but very apprehensive regarding the operation.
Currently he is not allowed out of the ward as he is wired up to a telemetry system which is monitoring his heart beat, which alarms if it is out of zone.

I printed off all the get well messages this morning for lance to read.

pete

[stuartyboy]

Gee whiz just read this!

GWS dude!

[DarrenSV650S]

[northwind]

So he's getting an Edinburgh Bypass? ****ing stupid idea, it'll stop working completely every day at 5pm. Good luck Bibio! Good surgeons in the ERI but the food is bloody horrible.

[Kate SV650]

Huh! Anything to get out of coming down to the Hawes on a cold, dark, wet, windy, miserable night....
Get well soon Lance!

[dawn07]

[Kilted Ginger]

Supposed to be yesterday or today. I've dropped him a txt but not heard back yet, dont want to pester him.

[jimmy4237]

GWS Bibio...

I know the feeling now what it's like to go under the knife. Not blinking funny.... just about to get my first brekkie since Monday:hackedoff::hackedoff: a hossie one too - expect to be ill afterwards:chef::chef::chef:

[peterco]

Bibio has had the operation yesterday and is now in intensive care/HDU.

Phone the hospital asking how lance was,Surgery was ok and is comfortable at present.


pete

[Dicky Ticker]

I spent 48hrs in there and when you come round properly you think you are a plumbers nightmare with all the tubes and drains. Here's hoping he is back on the normal ward in a couple of days.

G. W. S. me old son

[kitkat]

thanx for keeping us up to date pete. gws wee guy

[carelesschucca]

Another one Get well soon mate see you back on the bike ASAP!!!

[scooby2102]

Jeeze, been away a few weeks and just back, there's a lot been happening on here with yourself and poor Hovis, that sounds pretty serious mate, get well soon Bibio.

[Dicky Ticker]

Any further news on the wee mans progress?

[GordonM]

I've not been around here much lately and what a shock when I read this thread!

Get well soon, Lance.

[Kilted Ginger]

Exchanged txts with bibio today, he is doing well and seems quite up beat. He is getting home (to his mums) Reckons 8 weeks before he's fighting fit.
I've told him to let me know when hes up for visitors etc.
Worst case scenario I reckon a quick stop on the way back from the St Andrews run with some lovely ice cream.

[fenjer]

you can carry the ice cream KG... lol

[Speedy Claire]

My apologies Bibio but i`m only just back online so have only just read this thread. My very best wishes for a full recovery... You`ll feel like a new man once you`re recovered :D x

[skeetly]

Has he split up with the old one?

[shonadoll]

That's great, KG, good to know how he's doing.

[Dicky Ticker]

Glad to hear your on the mend but please remember what I have said in earlier posts about taking it easy
Blinking awkward knowing what side to try and sleep on isn't it------it gets a lot easier after a week or two so hang in there and cuddle that pillow

[Kilted Ginger]

you can carry the ice cream KG... lol
No problem, did it last year for Ralph who couldn't make it as he'd dropped his bike a couple of weeks earlier. I've a perfectly sized wee food thermos that does the trick.

[Dave20046]

Good to hear he's doing ok :thumbsup:

[yorkie_chris]

Good to hear.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

Chris

[fenjer]

I"m glad he's doing all right...
Hope to see him sometime... if only to reclaim my scottoiler! ;)

[Dicky Ticker]

Ain't seen any posts from the zipper fella------do we know how he is doing?

[Kilted Ginger]

Not spoke to him since Wednesday, trying not to be a pest, I'll leave it until monday then give him a call. I'm sure he'll be inundated with friends and family visiting as it is and that in itself is tiring.

[appollo1]

sent him a text today but not had a reply yet.

Hope he is ok!! No news is good news as they say !

[peterco]

Visited lance today,
Feels Ok and is taking things easy and has no computer at the present time.

pete

[Dicky Ticker]

Good news then-----ta

[Bibio]

good afternoon all of my concerned lovely people. i'm just back online as i type.

thanks for all the lovely comments and concerns. i feel MUCH better, believe it or not a by-pass is not that bad on the pain scale, i thaught it would have been a LOT worse.

the biggest anoyence is not being able to to things i would like to do, simple things such as having to stop myself from lifting heavy objects but apart from that and the constant itchy-scratchy scar feeling i'm feeling fit as a fiddle compaired to the pain i was in the years before the by-pass.

i'm currently having to stay in Edinburgh for about the next 4-6 weeks or untill i get the go ahead from the doc to go back home.

for those who would like to know i had a coronary artery by-pass graft X 5. these were taken from the interior chest, left arm artery's and vains from my right leg.

regards to all... Lance

[Dicky Ticker]

Good to hear your doing well matey-----welcome to the zipper club

[Sally]

Glad you're ok! :)

This mean you've quit the fags? :)

[Bibio]

Good to hear your doing well matey-----welcome to the zipper club

now a proud member m8...

Glad you're ok! :)

This mean you've quit the fags? :)

ooooooohhhh yes... i seen a sight in kirkcaldy vic hospital that done the trick even before i got the op.... gave up there and then no patches no nowt and will never ever stick another fag in my gob.....

[Dave20046]

Glad you're alright mate, take it easy

[dyzio]

Glad to see your back, take it easy mate.

[xXBADGERXx]

Lance , chicks dig scars mate ;)

[Tiger 55]

i had a coronary artery by-pass graft X 5.
A quintuple by-pass, what are you some sort of space alien?

"Jim, my readings indicate this man has.....two hearts!"

Take it easy mate. :)

[dawn07]

Only the best folk have a CABG!
Glad to hear you're on the mend Bibio. Keep us updated.
Take it easy, one day at a time. Well done for giving up the fags!
All the best wee yin! Dx:smt023

[skeetly]

:D

[jaromic]

Glad to hear your on the mend mate, i'm sure it was a big shock.

[svdemon]

Good to hear you're alive and kicking mate, been looking at bikes yet?

[DarrenSV650S]

Welcome back bud. Glad you're feeling better :)

[fenjer]

Welcome back Bibio...
Take your time getting on the mend!
:)

[maviczap]

Ah, nice to hear some positive news. Glad you're feeling better

[jimmy4237]

Good to hear you're on the mend m8... if you need anything let us know.

I just got the clearance the day from the GP to go back to work, but light duties and no heavy lifting either.

Then I go and lift an empty welding argon gas cylinder into my car boot to get a refill, and promptly do something which I suspect has pulled an internal bit where they cut me open........ idiot!! No more riding a bike for another 2 weeks now](*,)](*,)

If it's still sore by monday I'm not going back into work - to the GP (again).
Impatience is a bad thing - TAKE IT EASY.. REST UP

[TEC]

WooHoo :) Good to hear progress is being made, as they've said, take it easy and heal properly :)

[Bibio]

ooooohhhhh and to Dicky Ticker... thanks for the top tip on the laxatives m8... constipation is no fun when you cant 'push it out' coz your chest will split in two.. luckily hospitals have warfare type laxatives for such an occasion its like a nice sweet tasting honey looking syrip that does the trick just nicely.

what i never liked was the potasium syrip... not nice stuff..

[Bibio]

oooohhhh jimmmy if you have just had an op and have been told to take it easy m8... then TAKE IT EASY, money aint worth your health m8....

there is loads of stuff i feel i could do but i know i cant and i feel embarresed asking people to do it for me when i know (before the op) i could so easaly have done it. i'll just have to bide my time.
