Rubylady

Ah ha! Thank you Ruby for that information re birthdays. And hope your challenge is successful.

Annie we'll have a special 'do' for you on the 12th in the Argy-Bargy Cafe. I'll make sure Chewbacca puts Gunter in his cage and we'll get Ash upstairs to bake you a special cake. It's already booked into out posh, new book. Ruby you'll come too I'm hoping. I have a very special Ruffage Cake that might get you moving appeal to you.

I am now going to lower the tone a bit. Ruby, good luck with the pooh, oooh the relief , and while I'm here, Happy Birthday to you and the Lady Ann

Yes she is a tonic but I am embarrassed beyond belief that she has told you about my upcoming b'day I was keeping that within the confines of "the kitchen". ?

Rubylady you are a TONIC!

"be" taking it

Wowzer Ruby you are inspirational! Just don't taking it too fast and too hard. Time enough for shenanigans once your body has got over the shock of the op. So good to find you in such good spirits though. Look after yourself!

Brilliant to hear from you Ruby! And sounding so restored! Don't rush home though if the support isn't in place, another day won't hurt. Make the most of having all those nice nurses rushing to your side at the merest press of a buzzer!

Sounds like you're making a speedy recovery Ruby well done!

And for Ann for being such a good friend to you.

YAHOO!!!!!I made it!

I'm acing this recovery, jumping on male nurses backs for a toilet break, sweet-talking the lady nurses so I can be on here at this time, doing "sad face" to the doctors so that more wiring and tubing is removed!

Walking to toilet with new sexy walking stick, coughing up gunk, pumping but no pooing yet. Today's challenge, to poo! I bet you all wanted to know that! Lol

The docs are thinkin of home tomorrorow! I'll see how I am, and not without some support in place first. l've had a lovely physio but she's gone on materniy leave now.

I'm going to be naughty now and, now that it is July, we are in both mine and Ann's birthay month. Ann's is the 12th, she's 21 and mine's 23rd and I am 18! I was going to arrange a real party for her, but, as I won't beup to it, we could have a virtual one instead. Please find arrangements under Ann's birthday preparations, the more the merrier. I'll do that and then sleep for a bit. Thank goodness I'm back, chatting with my favourite ladies. Lots of love and bucketfulls of thank yous. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good to hear that all seems to be going well, Ruby .
Thank you, Ann for all the updates. .

Ruby - "will I be able to do cartwheels after my operation?"
Surgeon - "of course you will when you feel better"
Ruby - "Oh good, because I couldn't do them before"
