Hope all goes well, if you do end up with an overnight stay, enjoy the hospital food 

don't you think he's got enough to worry about, without the thought of that 

good luck for the OP Mick, but please no show and tell with battle scars.

Why do you need annsthetic aneasfetic anaesitic stuff to make you go to sleep when you could just read @dannyboy 's groaner thread from start to .....zzzzzzzzzz

 

Should all be over now (11am Tues Aus time). Hope it all went well, Mick. 

I hope it's not all over, he doesn't go in until July 20th 

Oh yeah, yet another example of dementia setting in here 

I do hope it goes well Mick.

Everybody is thinking of you mick.

Good luck Mick  everything crossed for you mate .

Hopefully not everything, could be more painful than Mick's procedure

Thanks, Chaps. I did ask if they could just leave a flap so it would be easier next time. Undo the zip, out with the old batteries and in with the new. Seems not, for some strange reason
Likewise, they told me the battery life would be 8-10 years when I first had the thing fitted but it's only 6 or so, so I've told them not to use cheapo batteries this time round.
Not exactly helpful, are they?

I take it you have considered other power methods,

solar panels ?

a wind turbine ?

both would negate the need for battery changes, and I'm not sure the AA could help if you got a flat battery.

of cousre, if you went for the wind turbine, you'd need to avoid low bridges 

Why not rechargeable batteries? You could just plug yourself in for a couple of hours while you watch TV of an evening...

Seriously, Mick, we all wish you well. We hope it is just a quick, painless procedure and that you'll be back moderating with renewed vigour in no time.

All the best,

Chris

I already have a solar panel. It's the bald patch on my head
I am a one man wind turbine myself

Best of luck Mick
