I’m now sure when the surgeon phones me to provide updates, his real reason is to listen to me take the piss out of my first wife and have a laugh too.

He phoned again tonight saying Marjana is still in ICU but should hopefully be able to chat tomorrow.

Anyway, he said “She doesn’t appear to have much of a tolerance to drugs because every time she pushes the painkiller button it puts her straight to sleep.”

To which I replied, “For fucks sake, don’t let her near the plonk then, man.”

We laughed together over this sheila we share in different ways, like a couple of ol’ westy slappers looking back on their 80s perm hairdos in high school class photos.

His main update though was that she is understandably still very tired, sore and the tumour he removed was larger than a tennis ball.

She loves her lavender by the way.

Bunch of people asking in messages, phone calls etc so easiest if I post here…

As yet I still haven’t seen my first wife because COVID. Fuck COVID by the way!

What I can say is that the surgeon phoned me again this morning saying,

* He saw Marjana and she was well (considering she just had a major operation of course).

* She is in ICU which is the best place for her for next couple days because she has one on one care.

* He said doing the operation was absolutely the right decision because when he got in to look the tumour was way bigger than looked in the scans and would have caused massive ongoing problems should it not have been removed.

Here comes the quote of the day

* He said “You should be able to chat with her later this afternoon where she where she can listen and respond properly.”

To which I replied… “Fuck man, that’ll be a first.”

Again he laughed like fuck and I think it was about then that this surgeon wondered if in fact I am actually normal 

Update as to Marjana’s current situation…

Chemo portal insertion operation done yesterday.

Colonoscopy done this morning.

Results weren’t real awesome to be honest and as such my first wife is now in Sunnybank Private Hospital to have bowel surgery at 4pm.

The surgeon said things have lined up almost perfectly because we have top cover private health insurance she is able to get things done ASAP.

There are of course still out of pocket expenses of course but worth the years of investment now.

Quote of the day…

Surgeon: Your private health cover is now giving you a return for all your years of investment.

Me: Fuck man, its the investment in this sheila I married that I need the return on now.

Surgeon laughed like fuck as did the first wife when I told her.

Seriously man, thank you so much for all the people who have reached out in various ways to help. It’s amazing!

Wow! What a response to last night’s cancer post with well over 200 comments, private messages and phone calls!

Cancer is fucked but the world is not, as evidenced by each and every comment… and the numerous cancer survival stories we received.

Both my first wife and I have cried more because of people’s good will and messages of support than we have over the fact Marjana actually has cancer. Seriously man, the love is overwhelming!

I won’t mention names because it’s not a competition but some have already gone above and beyond with your support. You’re a bunch of good cunts and I love you, man!
