Should be just that, Bill. They collapse the lung to give themselves room to operate on the heart. This can cause some bleeding at the time which results in clots. My daughter had to have physio to clear hers post op.

Good grief Bill, you don't do things by halves do you mister! Take it easy, do what the doctors tell you and leave the nurses alone - it'll just get you all unnecessarily excited! .
Hope you're out and back up to full strength asap.

I hope it's just a wee while. Discovered that upon arriving home last night. Have to sleep sitting up. They are way too sore to lay down on I'm any position.

Dropped my Caberg yesterday. I had taken it off and placed it on the tank while I rooted through my bag. It bounced off the visor, rolled down a small hill and into a puddle. I think I should change it? Cost of a visor is half the cost of the lid.

Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Schools that tell you off for taking children out of school for a holiday but then do a school trip in school time to watch a cricket match.

What's wrong with that. Watching professional sports people play should inspire the children to want to participate themselves.

Lucky it landed on the visor.
What they are worried about is the foam inside being damaged in a drop so as long as the visor isn't broken or scratched no need to worry about replacement.
