'BROIL THE BIGGY' BY DUBBO DAVE

Dave and Elissa at reunion 2007

When Jack & Pete were about 3 or 4 their favourite characters on TV were Bert

& Ernie and when something big was on like a big hamburger Ernie would yell

out "Broil the biggy" well that became part of the language in the Kesby

house for about 4 or 5 years..If something big was coming up like going to

Cumberland Oval to see the mighty Eels or of to Sydney Football Ground to

see the Socceroos You knew it was big if either Jack or Pete would make the

utterance "broil the biggy" we were in for something big. Both Venues are

now gone.

Well I think we are in for a broil the biggy moment next week

All the tests ,scans, ultrasounds have been done and what has been worked

out that the little bugger that is giving me so much grief is not attatched

to my liver but is hiding behind the liver he might not even be cancerous

but we have to assume that he is.

Well the plan is to go in there and get the bugger out. The surgeon said it

might be a "piece of cake" but he won't know that until he gets in there.

Elissa asked how often to you do these operations .He said he did one 10

days ago and he is doing another one this Friday. I asked if the bloke he

did 10 days ago was still alive he said he was. Because I can't get the job

done this week I asked could I have some junk for this week . he said what

do you mean . I said heroin. He declined so we settled on Valium and other

things I took 2 of his blue pills this morning they kept me asleep for 4

hours

Well on Friday the 12th of November I go to the Sydney Adventist Hospital

for about 10 days . I will have

2 Surgeons

1 specialist anesthetist

1 specialist Intensivist..he or she will look after me in the Intensive care

section where I will be for up to 2 days

There is one other but I forget and I want to finish the email off before going back to bed.

He hopes I won't have a bag but I will have weep holes on my side for up to

2 months after the operation to drain the shit out of my system
( I knewyou wanted to know about that)

Well thanks for reading my story . 

Dave( Elissa also but she is out earning a dollar at Cherrybrook)
