Just a quick note to let the regulars know I received a cadaveric kidney in an operation last Friday (3rd), and with everything that happens in the aftermath of such a major thing I won't be around here for about 5 weeks. I can see you're all getting on well without me, but just thought I'd let you know, especially Mr Museum, who has been very supportive.

Wow, I was wondering why you hadn't been on for a while. I miss your posts. I hope you recover ASAP and that it isn't too painful and stressful. I'll be praying for you.
Thank you for your kind words. My two operations, five years ago, were small potatoes compared to what you just went through. Get well as fast as you can and get back here so we can direct a few well meant Dr. Nick jokes your way. ;-)
Hibbert is fine. He graduated from Georgetown University School of Medicine. Oh wait, he is a cartoon character. You wouldn't want a cartoon character to operate on you.
Paul, get well as fast as you can and get back to this ng! While you are convalescing, check out the URLs I put in this posting.
They talk about vorticity and why the water in your loos down there in the Southern Hemisphere rotate the same way or in the opposite direction. If you have real player plug in installed on your browser you will even be able to watch the video.
I guess you won't be able to play your didgeridoo while you are recovering.
Yes, I am sure that "playing your didgeridoo" means something else in Australian slang. As for upsetting the stitches, I've been there. The day after my hernia surgery I fainted and fell down and injured my ribs. For a few days the ribs hurt more than the hernia surgery site.
So Paul, don't laugh too hard for at least a few weeks, as it may hurt your surgery site. And get well soon and get back here as soon as you can!!!
I am pretty sure that this is a reference to Homer being in a coma in http://www.snpp.com/episodes/9F17.html, and how he was talking at the end of the episode.
Homer asks, ``Me lose brain? Uh-oh!'' More laughter. (Homer asks, ``Why I laugh?'')
As for the grammar corrections, Xino will be along any minute now.
I was thinking it was more like an opportunity for Lingua to step in and correct him. Homer said something like "Me want beer" in that episode, and Lingua corrected him.
