Err... sorry Robert bad bet.

I am actually waiting to redo the shirts with the new process at SpreadShirt as they don't use the Iron-on stuff like CafePress. A little more expensive but worth it.

Dave - Don't I owe you 2 shirts??

For everyone else,
I am going in for a surgery tomorrow (that is what some people are cryptically referring to). It's a very common gallbladder removal procedure and is done laproscoptically under the majority of situations. Unfortunately I will be under general anesthesia so that can always be fun. My first time.

I will be home later in the day (Monday) to give you a status report.

Thanks for all the support and kind wishes and those that I am certain will come now that I have "gone public".

Cheers,
Jim

Jim,
I had that done 2 yrs ago. Now, I'm an ex-medic and a major coward when it comes to pain. It's a piece of cake.
Just don't push things for the next few days.
All the best.

I'm sure you'll be fine Jim. My wife had hers removed about eight years ago and she never missed it. Didn't even leave an interesting scar.

Take care, get well, so you can get back to us.

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery Jim, and let's not use the medication as an excuse to change the lay-out to much...

Look at those colours man, look at those colours
