Evening all
Have just home from the hospital and thought i would put down todays thoughts.
Leenie was remarkably calm. Got to hospital about 7am she jumped on the scales and was told
102 kgs so she was pretty well pleased. Surgeon came along and drew some lovely drawings on her he may as well have drawn a target on her butt for all the sense it made to this boy.She went to theatre about 8.15 and got finished about 4.15.Got back to the hospital at6ish and they were just getting ready to bring her back from recovery.The old girl was remarkably chirpy. First thing she said after hello was wait for it F**k im starving no surprises there,so after a meal fish and mashed spuds(tasted nice too had to have a sample) we chilled out for a bit while nurses
(mental side note to give strong recommendation that nurse's uniforms need to be changed) just kidding NOT. checked blood pressures temp etc it was time to put the dreaded garment on.Helena was very nervous about this as was told by nurses what a prick of a job it was going to be 3 of us got her up and while she held on to me 2 nurses pulled her garment on,took about 2 minutes Helena and nurses said it was a piece of cake. So now she's all tucked up in bed with more wires and tubes coming out of her than an iraqi suicide bomber day one of the new Leenie is complete and my two fingers are worn out it is time for a cold beer and to everyone out there in computerland a big thanks for all your support over the journey. Update tomorrow hopefully
Craig and Helena
Ps after wife's comments yesterday about me being offensive it's not i prefer to call it politically
incorrect

Love Chubbymum
Hi Craig, please tell Helena that I send a huge hug and am so pleased that the 'big' event is over and the road to recovery can begin.
I was thinking of her today at around mid-day and actually felt a chill go down my spine as it hit me she would be completely knocked out and undergoing her big procedure.
Hope she has a speedy recovery, please say hi and tell her my thoughts are with her.
thanks for update-love from Twizel
and light hugs
Thanks for that terrific update Craig! What a long operation... how amazing being 102 kilos - she has done so well.
Thanks for the update and say Hi to her from me...
Am so proud of her :)

PHEW! Glad that part is over, and I am soooo relieved getting the suit on was not horrendous for her! Maybe I am just a sook then? Cos it nearly killed me! Hope she has a good day today.... I am thinking now that if she felt so good yesterday her recovery is going to be just FINE!!! Some people have all the luck .... can't wait to see her fab new body.... give her my love .. and you (Craig) are bloody wonderful mate. Leenie is a lucky girl.
Thanks for the update and text - your a funny funny man Craig :) Now don't go being funny around that wife of yours because I'm guessing laughing wouldn't be a great idea at the moment.
Talk soon, pass on my love.
Thanks Craig.
Thanks for the update Craig! So pleased to hear all went well, have been thinking of Helena. Please give her my love and best wishes for a speedy recovery:-)
All the best for Helena's recovery. Looking forard to the next part of her journey.
And I think your "Political Incorrect-ness" is hilarious..
It looks like she's still doing everything her way. ha, ha. I hope the rest of the recovery keeps going smoothly.
Wow, she's got to be rapt about the loss. Not far from being an 80's girl.
Give her my best. Just bloody awesome.
Wow!! A new Helena emerges. I an so pleased all went well and what a bonus for her to be feeling so good and able to eat. Thanks for the update.....you are doing a brilliant job. Big Hugs to both of you as you begin your new journey together. Hope she's a good patient once she gets home!!!!!...LOL .... and doesn't run you off your feet...LOL
Take care, thinking of you both and even though I haven't met you I am sure you are one special guy. Bet Helena thinks so too.
Luv,
Jenny, also known as Jo's Mum LOL
