Legless

So, it's finally happened. After 2+ glorious years on the NHS waiting list, and the general apathy and uselessness of the medical support staff, Ribby has finally landed himself his very own 'time on the table'

That's right folks, next month yours truly will be anaesthatised (sp?) and no doubt groinally shaved for his hip operation. A good thing, all factors considered (apparently it makes it look bigger); I get 4 days of free room and board and after that, one hopes, a reasonably functioning corps

The bad news of course, is that after the operation time there is a recuperation period in which I will be unable to work. Dammit. Lucky bastard, I hear you cry, as you envision me sitting around on my newly upgraded arse for a couple of weeks. However, you would be wrong. It's not a couple of weeks, it's two bloody months!!



I'm gutted, I tell you. God knows how I'm going to think of enough original material to fill this place for that length of time.

Unless they're using microscopes, odds are Ribby Jr. will be fine.

Are you getting paid leave or anything? Two months is a long time to live without moolah
