Bigger MASH

[Propellor]

I'm hanging on for the 800cc version. The MONSTER MASH!!

Talking of avid magazine reading, I used to work with a bloke who got Tractor Monthly, well every month tbh. Went on for years. Then when the Chinese stuff started appearing he flung his copy in the bin, in a luddite huff.

He's an ex tractor fan.   👀




Coat.

Door.

Hahahahahaha, stop it Andrew. I've just had an operation you know, and it hurts when I laugh....

Hee hee terrible innit.

How about the custom brat version? The Mish Mash 😁👏👏

Yeah I been watching your posts cos I had what sounds the same procedure last Friday. 😮. Coincidence or what.

Listen just cos ya laid up after the op don't mean ya can't get thrown ya coat n shown the door....
although I did quite like the "mish mash" made me giggle

It's not so much of a coincidence sadly Andrew. I know of probably about ten people who've had PC, including poor Boyd from this parish. Apparently as many as 1 in 7 blokes will get it at some point.

I've been very lucky, and it was spotted very early before it had started to grow and spread. I've also made a very good recovery and was told on Tuesday that I can now ride my bikes and push bikes and drive a car again, which obviously I'm very chuffed about too. 

I wish you a speedy recovery, and you have my sympathy, 'cos there was absolutely nothing pleasant about the operation, the stay in hospital or the first few days at home either. Hopefully you should improve quickly after the first couple of weeks though.

Best Wishes,

Pete.

Cheers Pete. That's brilliant news that you can ride now.

I can't fault the hospital staff in my 24 hour stay over tbh. Fingers crossed for the both of us that our result is a thumbs up from the consultant. You'll be near that point?

[CrazyFrog]

Yep, that was on Tuesday. The post operation biopsy showed that the cancer was completely contained and therefore completely removed. Obviously there will be ongoing monitoring of PSA levels, but the consultant said there was only a minute chance of it coming back, so it's just a precaution to keep monitoring PSA level every year.

I'm guessing you had key hole surgery - I was in for 5 days having open surgery, which I opted for because the consultant at the QE in Brum is apparently one of the most experienced in the country. Hopefully your recovery will be quicker than mine then, and here's hoping you get good news when you see your consultant in a few weeks.

Yeah robotic job for me. I'm thinking 4 weeks from op to get back riding but we'll have a couple of hurdles to clear before that point.

Brilliant news for you regarding the biopsy etc. Bet you're well relieved (pardon the pun 😮😁). Fingers crossed I have the same result.

A bit too relieved to be honest  (if you catch my drift), but apparently even with this, I'm doing far better than normal, and the situation should resolve itself completely over the next couple of months.

Can I also say, yes Pete that sounds like great news for you (and most likely your family too👍) hopefully big bro will get the same result 🤞🤞... hopefully see you at the Stafford show?? With the "tracker" complete with an FMX650 engine that you sold me a few years back
Cheers, Michael

Yes I definitely "catch your drift" 😁. Good man Pete.

Didn't see a punchline coming, which made it even funnier!
