How many of you guys belong to the Zipper club?

[hussy]

i forgot to mention that i cannot speak highly enough of the staff and doctors, from prince charles hospital . so much compassion was shown by the nurses, and so much professionalism was shown by everybody. which helps to put you at ease during a very traumatic time. thanks goes to those guys. hubby

am not a member of that club but my skiper and my dad are

just wanted to say
hubby i love your idea with the zipper taps
and im pretty sure the pain from the tattoo wont be as fierce as the pain from healing after the operation

im glad that my skipper is fine my dad wasnt as lucky since he wasnt in prince charles hospital but in a crappy german univerisity hospital
he had a massive stroke day after the op but noone noticed it of the docs and staff for 3 days >

and noone helped or explained the breathing exercise and all those lil tricks to him so for 6 months he was in massive pain and had to get morphin patches
and part of th scar opend up contraced golden staph and had a hole on the bottom of the scar that made it possible for us ti see the deeper layers of fat just above the outer lining of his diaphram

he is doing fairly ok but but is now wheelchair bound and his personality changed he had to retire early wich left my parents with not much money to enjoy the rest of their life
they planned to spend 6 month in australia and 6 month in germany once he retired
now it would be lifethreatening to board a plane

sorry for dribbeling on
i am happy that GOT had the care of professionals who take pride in their work

and same goes for all of you

best wishes
anya

G'Day Hubby, I know what u are saying about a lot of s...it going on in your head, it happen to me when I was in Hospital about day 3, I thought I was going nuts the Staff at PCH are well aware of it, The ward Sister got right into me and told me It was normal to feel like that she told me to stop the crap and get on with it and I did, I was right the next day, very special people at PCH, U will be OK just give it a bit of time, keep well and get into the fishing as soon as u can, Cheers Whitto

Not in the zipper club, but had heart attack 12 months ago, 2 angiograms, one angioplasty.

Cardio says i am due to be a zipper club member eventually, but maybe 5 to 10 years away.

Hope it never comes to that, but if it does, i am in their hands. Mine was all done at greenslopes private. Without the brilliant staff and facilities i would be worm fodder now.

My uncle had a zipper put in about 20 years ago and he came up to Brisbane to recouperate.Since his wife stayed back in Sydney, we went out fishing and he couldn't wind in any of the larger fish so he gave me the rod each time he hooked one. It was one of the best days fishing for me, having someone baiting and hooking fish for me.
It also done his recouperating a world of good to get out. We still laugh about it today.
