I haven’t been running on all cylinders for a while now as my Crohns disease is once again making my bowel self destruct internally.
It has got to the point that I need another “cut & shut’ (my hat trick!) which was planned for next week alas I fell in a heap late last week (exhaust contents coming out of the carby will do that :o) and have been in hospital for the last few days and surgery has now been bumped up to tomorrow.
I had planned on finishing several jobs the that are now all half finished on my workbench so I will be letting quite a few people down and I don’t have access to my emails or phone No’s to let them know so this is a public call out and apology for those that I have dissappointed.
Also have a heap of emails to reply to that I pushed to one side as I was trying to finish jobs and sort out when the procedure might be (been doing countless tests for months), I will be onto them in a couple of weeks. Suspect I will be in here another week at least.
Technically recovery is around 6 weeks but we will see how it all goes
My "comeback" takes another setback.
-
Mate all the best with it all. Hope you're back on deck and in good health asap.
Cheers
-
Good luck with the repair work Geoff hope it goes well.
Cheers KB

Gosh, & i moan about a few hours in A&E today with a sore finger!!. Puts it all into perspective now. Wish you well Geoff.

Yeap, good luck, hope you get your shit together.
-
Thanks guys
Yeap, good luck, hope you get your shit together.
Ha, good on you.
Had a colonoscopy a few weeks back then went to see my Gastroentoroligist for the results but he was looking a bit weary.
Turned out he had a hard day at the orifice.
-
It is a bugger of a disease that Chrons my sister has it and a couple of my friends as well hope it all goes well for you.
-
Couple of rolls of duct tape should fix it, just dont try doing it yourself mate. Ive seen your water tank pics;)
All the best Geoff
-
Speedy recovery Geoff. sorry to hear you are Butchers hook.
-
Get well soon mate
-
The things people will do to get out of work! Which hospital you in Geoff, are you taking visitors? Best be honest because I (we) will find out anyway! Also if I can help in any way don't be shy. Good luck mate. J
-
I was transferred to John Fawkner last night, it's a fair way from you.
I won't be wanting any visitors today or tomorrow, the procedure usually knocks me around a bit, currently sitting in my gown and not far from getting my 'Milk'
Can you weld? ;D
-
Geoff I hope the docs fix you up ok. If you need a hand with anything; pick up from the hospital or to help lift stuff in the workshop (my welding is not something to could charge people for lol), give me a yell, I'm only 25 mins away.
Regards, John.
-
All the best Geoff and big hugs to you..thinking you where just too busy.pays to keep an eye on your friends. :) :-* :-*
-
"Taking a break" implies that some kind of activity was taking place beforehand!
Seriously though, I hope it all goes well, and don't rush the recovery.
Tex
-
Get well mate, I have some jobs for you but your health is more important. I did warn you years ago about the perils of living in Victoria....time to move to Qld mate. You know you want to.
-
All the best GMC.
-
All the best Geoff, get them to use all the trick bits, hope the tune length is spot on with the tail pipe and that you will be on full song before long ;) cheers
-
All the best Geoff, get well soon. Your health is more important than anything else.
I won't comment on the sick humour.

-
Repair and rebuild yourself first mate! Cheers and do honestly get well soon. Tim D
-
Good luck with it Geoff. Don't rush back,make sure you're fully recovered
-
Perhaps you could use the time off to learn about the correct usage of apostrophes?
:)
-
Certain your in good hands, Heal quick Geoff.
-
Get well mate , as much as we bitch about you none of us would buy anywhere else even that bloke from WA .
-
oooh Nathan - people in glass houses :)
-
Good Luck Geoff, take care..
-
Hope you're feeling better soon Geoff . Thanks for all the work you did on my pipe recently. You should have just told me to eff off. The pipe is fantastic and here's to a speedy recovery.

Well, seeing as Tex made joke I was intending to make, I was forced to use my B material...
-
Hope all goes well with the surgery Geoff. I'm surprised you function at all with that bastard of Disease....
-
All the best Geoff, get well soon. Your health is more important than anything else.

Kevin
I hope I have not affended any one with my dark humour, I know and feel the pain of loss and suffering
And sincirely wish Geoff all the best and a speedy recovery
-
Get Well!
-
Get Well soon
-
Take care Geoff, I've got a mate with the same issue, not a pleasant situation at all.
On the other hand I'm assuming this is yet another ploy to avoid coming up to Conondale?
-
My best wished Geoff.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Geoff, when you build a pipe that looks fantastic & works great. It's like art, so here's to the Doc that's working on you & I hope he puts as much effort & perfection into your pipe work & recovery is very important for longevity & good health so please be kind to yourself. Jimson

I rang John Fawkner hospital this afternoon to enquire how the great man was. After the usual run around being put on hold and being transferred a voice comes on the phone and says hello. I introduce myself and ask if he can update me of Geoffs condition and if possible I may speak to him. Imagine my shock when the voice sombrely says I'm sorry but Mr Morris has passed away. Oh shit I say and momentarily lost control of my car. Then I hear laughing........... Remember revenge is a dish best served cold Geoffrey! In the meantime great to hear all went well. Cheers J
-
Thought you'd been a bit quiet... All the best from Jo and me
-
He does have a very sick sense of humour Jerry....but you wouldn't expect anything less would you.

get him with your defibrillator J man when he is not looking ;)
-
always said he was an a---hole - and he continues to prove it :)
-
Speedy recovery mate. Try and relax during your time off if that's possible. Don't get back into it too quickly. I am sure the orders can wait a little longer.
-
hope you have a good result Geoff. wifes family have had long history with it so I know what your dealing with. SIL recently went back in after a 20 year respite and had a bad section removed. unfortunately all her bowel was "stuck" together from the old operations and scarring so they took the lot out on to an adjacent table and played straighten the hose with it all so they could find the dodgy bit. that worked out well, and she was put back together. a side affect of that is it can take two to three weeks for the bowel to recommence operations after a hiding like that and she was in hospital for two months on drip feed until the bowel decided to go back to work. she is back to her normal 1 bottle of red per day now....
tough gig, hope it all works out ok for you.
cheers
-
Thanks for all the comments guys
The resto went well, a 3 hour rebuild that was done while the motor was still running :o
Tuned length is now 300mm shorter, will have to wait and see if it makes me go any harder
Couple of rolls of duct tape should fix it, just dont try doing it yourself mate. Ive seen your water tank pics;)
All the best Geoff
Point taken on my water tank repairs, funny thing though, while they didn't use duct tape I have got what looks like packing tape over the incision!
"Taking a break" implies that some kind of activity was taking place beforehand!
Your a worry Tex, your starting to sound like my wife!
Hope all goes well with the surgery Geoff. I'm surprised you function at all with that bastard of Disease....
Yeah I have my days but most of the time I can pretend to be 'normal'
I hope I have not affended any one with my dark humour, I know and feel the pain of loss and suffering
And sincirely wish Geoff all the best and a speedy recovery
You certainly haven't offended me mate
Take care Geoff, I've got a mate with the same issue, not a pleasant situation at all.

I may actually use it as an excuse to come up to Conondale this year, just have to see how I feel when I get out as the timing will be tight.
Remember revenge is a dish best served cold Geoffrey! In the meantime great to hear all went well. Cheers J
get him with your defibrillator J man when he is not looking ;)
He may have already got me with his Voodoo doll Hoony, I went backwards a bit after I pulled that sly crime.
always said he was an a---hole - and he continues to prove it :)
Ah yes, but since I've had Bowel surgery I'm not the same arsehole I used to be ;D

Sounds like she has had a hard time too, apparently I was a mess inside too with lots of adhesions and yes its a big shock to the system and it can take a while for the bowel to reboot, currently sitting around now on a drip waiting for it to start up, fortunately I have always been a good healer (which always makes me wonder why my stupid body self destructs like this) and I am already taking in fluids okay.
By the time I am ready for full Hospital meals they will kick me out which may not be a bad thing ;D
-
glad to hear you are coming back well, i can see by your posts that your humour is intact and thats a positive for a speedy recover. take care "surgeon of steel"
-
I guess its just having to bloody wait now that's the pissoff. still you can legitimately lay around and tell everyone to stop bothering you. take care.
-
Glad to hear things went well, let us northerners know if you're coming up for CD so we can keep our eyes peeled for you.
