How sweet it is when the tide turns so quickly.....
Lucy is under tow, in hospital, in
Melbourne with a niggly gall bladder. Being the troopyer that he is and being charged with male hormones he ignored all the normal signs and finally succumbed last Saturday when his long suffering and infinitely patient wife was implored to take him to casualty.
They operated on his almost immediately removing the foul gall and he has been recovering for four days. He is due out of intensive care tomorrow and set to be all
well again, so I can afford the "take the mickey" approach as I am sure he would with me.
I will be calling in to see him tomorrow night and furthering the merciless "support" only EO can provide. I will be taking in a snatch strap and winch extension strap so he can safely be towed home. I may get a photo of him then, Wheres that Flag, Trevor?
This will almost certainly rule him out in the "leader" capacity for
the Pyrenees sadly, he may yet turn up but only in something that rides smooth (so NOT a Toyota or Jeep) as a visitor.
I shall pass along all wishes from EO members to him. Thanx also to Member JohnR for liaising and communicating his plight.

It's only because he lower his standards and bought a Missan LOL
With his tastes in vehicles and his errant ways I reckon we should rename him "Gypsy" LOL
I hope they did a big cut and not a key hole for the operation.
Cheers Kev

Yes Kev, the gall bladder was too far gone for a key hole attack, he needed the full bottle, but knowing Lucky, what else would he have

Oh Lucille...
Being the Australian that I am Bonz, when it comes to someone being sick, not even a difference in opinion as to the better state can get in the road of asking for my
well wishes be passed along to Mr beloved.
But being in the poorly state that he is, probably suffering some pain when movement occurs....
I must implore of you, to put the flag behind his hospital bed and get a photo of him in bed with the flag behind and visible to us all!

Jo I reckon the flag was far from his mind when he went in on Sunday and now it is nice to know he is out in the ward again as told this morning. His Diedre I think checks EO for him, or had done so.

The old mongrel get's what comes around. For goodness sake, he's letting the side down now. Where's his fighting spirit.
Brandy might be his beverage now as that other stuff is probably what caused his problems. It was probably the fear of leading the trips around the Pyranees that caused his problems. At least now, I know where he lives.
He better get
well quickly or else.
Bonz, Give him my best wishes for a speedy recovery even if it is only to make Diedre's life a little easier.

I hope he didn't tell the operating staff that he drives a Missan.?
When you visit him tomorrow, just check they didn't remove his Ball Bladder instead.
Don't know him but wish him the best.

Its all the worrying he does driving around that Droopy and the hi-tech Jeepny. Life would be sooo much less stressful for the man if he would just upgrade to the carefree life of a Nissan owner.
Please be sure to pass our our best.

I'm hoping that his gall bladder is where he stored his memories of "how to get to SA"........ That way we get to avoid his future plans to foray into this great state (which becomes a state of confusion as soon as he crosses the border).
The only saving grace to date is that each time he's been over here to steal all of MY Anzac bikkies, he's managed to leave that other schiitt magnet (the hon Member for Terang) at home in Vicbloodytoria.
Okay, I'll now have to retract all of what I just said, cos Lucky is one the members of our local 4x4 club, so with my elPresidento's hat now on my
scone, I will have to wish the Lucky one a quick recovery. He will HAVE to now purchase a lovely Nissan so his wounds don't split open again from riding in that buck-board droop-carrier thingo....
Cheers
Roachie

He is going to be very very sore and we wont see him in
the Pyrenees I reckon. I spoke to his long suffering SWMBO Thursday and he is still in intensive care and will recover but its going to take him a bit. Many antibiotics and painkillers required to overcome this one I reckon.

I have spoken to his long suffering this morning and she said he is back in the ward now which is good. Think he still likes a drip but loved the fruit that Diedre took to him. Don't think she bought the fruit at Bunnings or ARB, stuff like mangoes.
Pyrenees will be a bridge too far for him I think.

Ross, it wasnt the easy ailment of gall stones, which I am sure Lucy would have crushed, first by running over himself in hos droopy, or another flying cattlegrid landing, and then arranged a suitable exit from his body.
Nay, his gall bladder had given up the ghost and needed complete removal. Mustve been a 'yota part.

I do not think that this thing was running perfectly in the first place Muddy hence removeal of the offending Toyota part, it will not return to anywthing like perfection, it will return to Lucky.
Des, making the most is Lucky's M.O. rather than
mine, I am simply a messenger.
