Hokay, so as selfies go this one is pretty extreme but it's the only photograph taken of me this year so I'm thinking of using it as my Fæcebook profile shot (or maybe not). It was taken by a teeny tiny Raquel Welch in a miniaturised submarine (for anyone who can remember the sixties).
Anyhoo … other than some minor medical faff and blather and some icky nasties that the surgeon put right with rubber bands, superglue and bulldog clips it appears that I am all mended and can get back to whatever passes for normality around here.
This, by the way, is a portrait, taken yestereve of my prominent Brunner's glands - something I was not aware of having until last night. As it's a whole lot prettier than my face I may well use it on dating sites.
One thing I learned about gastroscopies: when the surgeon pumps your tum full of air so he can see what's he's doing, you can't help but do the most AWESOME monster belches! Hell, if I could belch like that when I was ten years old I'd have been king of the school.
I also learned that it's possible to giggle with a camera tube jammed down your throat and to make a nurse crack up.
So … Let's see some of your own extreme selfies.

So glad you can laugh about it, but please do not put it on your profile ha ha…Hope you have had a rest and taken pain killer for your throat… xx
Oh, Dive, I am so GLAD to know that you've been repaired and did not have your sense of humor gland cut out.
I've been watching, watching to see when a post was added by you, changing from the little cartoon, but I'd prefer to see your pleasant round face and smile.
Good to see the old Dive again! And you will receive no extreme selfie from me. The normal ones are bad enough.
Ah, the fun of medical procedures....
But good to learn you've been patched up and are feeling better!
So, that's an "innie selfie" as opposed to an "outer selfie"? My selfies couldn't compete with that ;-)
well done you! (thinking about you squirming because i'm not using capital letters in the appropriate places) glad everything is toodle pip, sugar! ;) xoxoxo
