I'm sorry you have to have the bigger surgery, Robin, but it does sould like you'll feel a lot better later. It seems like doctors have said "six weeks" for everything they've done to me. I think it's a standard doctor answer.
(Wrong thread. Move along. Nothing to see here.)
Robin, I wish you a simple and quick surgery and a speedy recovery.

Also, on the subject of Polter-Cow vs. His Mom, a friend of mine left a very insightful comment on my latest post, and I thought you guys would appreciate it.
Light squeeze for you, Robin. I'm sorry you have to have the big surgery, but I hope it brings you some relief.
St. Joe's is an awesome hospital. It's where I had Em. And I've had similar surgery twice now, so if you need...I don't know....anything - let me know. And we live close so if you need dinner brought or doggie walked or nothing at all, we're there.
Just off the top of my head, you're both sort of right, but I think Frank is right that the actual phrase "lightly killed" is uttered by Terry Jones.
Terry Jones is Welsh, so he gives good lilt. The gagging constable with Cleese's detective was Graham Champan in the show, but was played by Terry Gilliam when they did it live (where they added a gag of him puking into his helmet and then putting it on at the end of the sketch).
I'm such a Python geek it's really really sad.
eta Much health-ma to Robin.
It fascinates me that Terry Jones is now a history geek doing in depth stuff on The History Channel (cable, I miss thee), after doing stuff like Python. But they're all smart as anything, as I've heard, so they can parley their fame into doing what they want now.
(((Robin))).
P-C! I love that second picture!
Hee. It was a hit around the office.

Yeah, his take is irreverant, but he really gets into some interesting details that tend to get overlooked (I love his Crusades series which really illustrates how barbaric the folks bringing "civilzation and enlightenment" to the middle east generally were).
We saw him speak here at UCLA. So adorable and charming. We were there very early, waiting with about 20 other folks and he came trundling in carrying his laptop and projector. He walked by and did a double-take, stopped and said "Oh, are you all here for me?" When told that's exactly why we were there, he gave us a big grin and thanked us.
