The recovery period following this procedure is fast. You should be able to return to everyday life as normal after two days.

The writing style I enjoyed as it was very reminiscent of how Bob tells all of his tales anyway: short, sharp sentences that set the scene nicely without any fluffery. It was funny in the right places, but I think could have been injected with a little more (it was also particularly Bob-humour as well, which was well received). If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links. This is a really slow burn, and I found the ending to be terrifically satisfying. So much so that I’d enjoy a Gary Thorn Part II. Or Gary and Emily. Or what Gary did next. I read this introduction to the novel in one sitting and despite there only being two chapters I laughed out loud a lot. Gary Thorn is a legal assistant in London, who handles cases like mediocre traffic stops and the occasional drug deal gone wrong. He dresses simply and talks to the squirrels on his way to the car, usually responding for them too.As funny, idiosyncratic, and full of squirrels as you'd expect. It's also really rather lovely." —Heat, book of the month Some people bury their faces in their smart phones all day. Not me. I’ve had the same old Nokia phone for years and years and have never bothered with social media and the like. I don’t see the point of it; I’ve got enough strangers in my life as it is.” The Satsuma Complex is being published in the US on Tuesday but with its name changed to The Clementine Complex.

I am a fan of the comedian Bob Mortimer and The Clementine Complex is written very much in his voice. Sometimes this is a success and sometimes not so much. If one character such as Gary was a ‘Bob’ style character that would have worked but they all seem to have the same way of speaking which was a bit off putting. A different cosy mystery read with some comic aspects thrown in. Pacing is a tad slow but wait for the punch lines. Gary Thorn is a fairly anonymous legal assistant who talks to squirrels. He's trying to trace the woman he’d bought a drink for at the pub. His ‘sort of’ mate Brendan ends up being murdered after leaving the place. Gary needs an alibi and he rather liked Clementine so he tries to find her. Life becomes a bit more dangerous than Gary had anticipated. There’s the rub! Contains the funniest description of somebody having a bath that you're ever likely to read." —Daily ExpressFunny, clever and sweet... The good news is that there is a lot of Mortimer's ridiculousness in all this." —The Sunday Times Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. The cost of general surgery at The Clementine Churchill Hospital varies depending on the nature of the surgery.

When the police arrive on Gary’s doorstep the next morning saying Brendan is missing and he was the last person to see him alive, the book takes all sorts of twists and turns. There’s a bit of a mystery, a bit of romance, and a bunch of insight in human beings and their behaviour. F)illed with witty dialogue and a distinctive quirkiness.... This whodunit’s memorable characters help set it apart from more traditional crime fiction. Will appeal to readers who appreciate a healthy dose of eccentric humor with their murder mysteries.” —Library Journal

The much loved comic proves adept at noirish fiction in a debut whose surrealist humour sets it apart’ – ObserverWhile meeting a work colleague for a drink one night, his attention is taken by an attractive young woman who is sitting alone reading a copy of The Satsuma Complex. His friend suddenly leaves citing a work call and he strikes up a conversation with the girl, a conversation that carries on for hours. He’s smitten, but through all of their chatting, he never found out her name. Next thing he knows, she’s gone and he’s come to the realisation he’s fallen for her. At around 2am I made myself a hot Bovril for the avoidance of caffeine and to receive its meaty punch’. If your surgery is a simpler case, you will be encouraged to get up from bed and walk around within two hours after the procedure. You will be able to leave hospital on the same day as surgery or the following day. You should expect to be able to open your bowels within one to three days after surgery. This may be uncomfortable at first. It is also common to experience some bleeding and discharge when this happens, so do not be alarmed if it does. Provided you feel comfortable and are recovering well at home, you can return to normal work and life a week after surgery. Over the first few weeks you may notice some changes in your ability to control wind. This is normal and will resolve within a few weeks.
