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.
Robin, I think that 6 weeks is a little long. I felt pretty normal after 2 weeks, I went back to work without incident. But, I had a sit down job (hilariously, they told me not to lift more than 5 pounds. I told my doctor "my purse weighs more than 5 pounds!")
I think that part of the key for me was that I did not do a damn thing for an entire week. Seriously. A big day was moving from the bed to the chair. I had that luxury, being single and staying with my parents, and my mom hovered like like a hovercraft.
Lying around for a week, check. That I can do. And I also have a desk job. I may be able to work from home part of the time as well through the miracle of the internets. I am not worried about being taken care of since I have the world's best DH and amazing friends, so I know that'll be fine.
Robin, I'm sorry you need the big style surgery, and hope you're oh so glad to have had it, once it's all over with. Strength and health to you.
