Im not sure if I can say anything as I'm in shock as to how awful his life was. What he saw and had to do just to stay alive.

A must read.

Some biography’s are so shocking , they leave you speechless. I watched the film of the book , twelve years a slave, it’s deeply shocking , the suffering that he and the other slaves endured, I nearly stopped watching, but thought , it was far worse to live than to watch a film about it. I think it’s good that we read these books and watch the films, as a stark and horrifying reminder of what humans have done to each other. We cannot blank out history, and we never should. So it never happens again.

Well as much as I hate to say it I'm not reading a book like that again I couldn't sleep last night due to thinking about all the pain and hell those poor people went through.:(

Well that was a nice day in hospital (15 hours):-|.
I was prodded and poked had an xray another scan lord knows how much blood they took think if I had charged for it it might of covered the parking fee.:)
They even were kind enough to put me back on a drip with some sort of pain killer and injected 4.5 syringes full of something into my arm and sent me home with two lots of antibiotics as I still have an infection.
Oh forgot about the ecg they did aswell.
But look on the bright side there is always a bright side I got a FREE sandwich at about 10 pm.:(:(

Awful!
Did it help at all - the painkillers and antibiotics?
Have they been able to give you any further info or how soon they want to whip out the gallbladder?
Hopefully the ECG showed your heart is doing it’s job well and no issues there.
Everything always seems to take forever in hospital and it’s so boring too but you’re in the system and fingers crossed they’ll crack on with getting whatever needs doing, done.

Are you a wannabe surgeon, I mean “ whip out the gall bladder” and “crack on”
:lol::lol::lol:

Poor Gordon that sounds horrendous, hope they do crack on and sort you out soon

I’ll have a go, Suze. How hard can it be?! :lol: :lol:

Lol the mind boggles:0)

I can see me having nightmares with me waking up on the operating table with you lot all standing over me with scalpels in your hands.:shock:

Well if they don’t hurry up and sort you out, Emma can be chief surgeon, I’ll do anaesthetics ( my father in law was an anaesthetist, not that that means I know anything) and the others can be theatre assistants :-D and we will need a recovery nurse :-D don’t worry Gordon :lol:
