Two weeks ago I had an operation on my hand and this Wednesday I had another one, both times it was just local anaesthetic and both times I took my camera and photographed it. All the operating theatre staff poked their heads in to see this mad Englishman taking photos. The surgeon said you wouldn't get a Turkish man even looking. I think it too interesting to miss. The photos will be on my blog soon.


Cukur, I just checked out your blog and was fascinated with the photos (I had expected worse!). Itsn't it amazing the capacity that the human body has to grow back bits! My husband once lost the end of his finger while manhandling a cast-iron man-hole. I came back from work to find his glove on the kitchen table with what I thought was a piece of chorizo inside. It actually grew back although he never regained any sensibility in it but I do say bravo to those skilled surgeons who can do ops like yours. Hope the healing process continues to go well.

Hi Vic, glad it wasn't as bad as you feared. Yes it always amazes me too. I've had various injuries over the years, you can't do what I've done and get away completely unscathed but apart from a couple of scars you'd never know. I also love the way the gekkos and lizards around here grow a new tail after a cat has caught them by the old one.

Maybe you should change your title from "part-time polyglot" to "part-time gekko"!

I had a look but the small pics were enough although it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sounds like you were well looked after and they did a good job. Hope you will be back to normal soon. :)

Hi Cukurbagli, I just looked at your pictures on your blog, and all I can say is GOSH! You are a very brave man photographing your own operation! Most men could barely LOOK - let alone take pictures! They're fascinating pictures, and it looks like the surgeon is extremely skilled!Posted Image

It's fantastic what they can do these days, and going by the picture of your finger where it's sewn up and separated from the palm of your hand - the medical possibilities are mind-boggling! Posted Image

I hope it gets as good as new very soon!

Have you got someone to kiss it better for you?Posted Image

Hi Cukurbagli,

I just had a browse at your blog and Prague looks absolutely amazing! What a beautiful city....

I think I might go there myself one day - do you have any tips or recommendations?Posted Image
