coxyhog Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Just got back from taking my mum to hospital,I got a text yesterday evening(when I was in the pub)saying she'd had a blood test & they thought she had DVT. Go to the DVT clinic the letter from the GP said,so I found it on their website & it looked pretty straightforward. Except it may be called that on the website but at the hospital no fucker has heard of it because it's called the Ambulatory Unit.A very long walk especially for a 92yo with swollen feet(who refused my offer of getting a wheelchair). 3-6 Hour wait before she gets a scan & I can't stay with her. I can see how so many people get Covid in hospital,there's no aircon & it's stifling,esp in the elevators. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Feeling used and bruised Had my 3 monthly post cancer check up yesterday which involves inserting a camera tube up my nostril and down the back of my throat. Not pleasant normally, but the specialist I saw yesterday was rather brutal in his approach and I nearly passed out. I woke up this morning with what I assume is internal bruising and quite painful. I am sure it will pass, but hurts when I try and blow my nose. They normally stick some lubricant on the end of the tube, but he must have gone in dry. Good news is that everything was clear again. (I am sure that Butch will have a field day with this post just by changing one or two words 😂😂😂) 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Derek Dangleberries Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 I've just come in beaten and bruised too! About 3 nights a week (on average) I sit outside with the cat and play with the neighbours children for an hour or so. The oldest is about 6 years old. Which leads me to a challenging question !!! When was the last time any of you all hopped? Not just for fun but in an intense competitive race as only 6 year olds can create? I'm approaching 66 but because of my walking I have very good leg muscles.My first attempt at hopping was more like a one footed scuff along the ground and I fell over!! It took real concentration to become airborne even for an inch but by f**k did we all have a laugh!! 2 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Just back from a 2 hour walk in the Arunothai/Bongkot area..... - I stocked up on Broad beans in Fever (69 baht for 500g v 110 in Friendship!). - I bought a new baking tray with grill for my mini oven for 150 baht in a cheap charlie shop on Bongkot 8 (Beside Nirun). My plan was to go to the big shop behind Big C Marina tomorrow but f**k me how much cheaper would it have been...!!!?? So not much weight carried today but still a nice walk ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Up at 6am today after my travel home, I held out for as long as I could, but eventually went to bed very early to recover. Feel much better today and have sorted through 3 months of mail already. Now sorting through my washing. The bulk of which I did at a laundry in Bkk, so fairly easy relaxing day today. Need to get myself back into a routine of eating healthy and exercise. Looks like I had run my freezer down before I left, so have limited stock of sausages and steaks etc. Hopefully put that right next week. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day when out on my walk I got a hankering for a Whopper. Stopped by a Burger King that was on my route. f**k me, they were only taking drive throughs. What am I supposed to do.... sit on the curb to eat ? So, I went to a near by Shake Shack. Decent burgers.... but a simple burger and small fries cost $9, without a drink. f**k that... I kept walking and went home. Cooked up a nice dinner along with my usual red. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Just back from my morning walk....I knocked off 15 minutes from what would normally take me 3 hours....!! I did really well on the outward journey mainly because I was singing a song in my head (and sometimes out loud I think) thinking of @galenkia"Drink up ye cider, drink up ye cider, for tonight we'll veggie be, VEGGIE BE!" But by the final 30 minutes I was f***d!!! I was barely staggering along, scuffling like an old man FFS!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nicer weather we're having down here sure makes it more tolerable. But I'd still give my left nut to be back in CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, enjoying a few pints of Guinness too. Had a couple of superb bottles of red since back which I always miss whilst away.

maipenrai Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I've started to replace the remaining fluorescent light tubes in my home with LED bulbs from Amazon instead - I decided to keep the existing fixtures so just have to bypass the ballasts and wire the light sockets directly - very easy to do; however the new LED tubes are quite delicate and have to be handled carefully - what a difference once they are in, though. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
