I like my gout, Margie - it gives me an excuse to sit and be bone idle for a while, on occasion.

Being the newbie I am to N.S. I couldn't work out how to reach out to Physical Perfection to tell him to get on with life as you never know what tomorrow will bring. Obviously at the moment time

I'm a happy Bunny tonight Went for my oncology visit after I had the P.E.T. scan and T.A.C. a couple of weeks ago and all is clear after the scare I had. The next process is due in 6 months after I ha

Well I hadn't intended contributing to this thread but do you want to know how many staples I've got in my tummy?!!  Actually I'll spare you the details but I want to put on record that my experience

Just back from my Cardiology Appointment.  The Doc wants me to have an Angiogram.  Had a couple of those before.  Not my favourite way of spending a day, but at least it shows somebody cares!  :)

 

Also happy to report that the exercises ( Yes Margie, I AM doing them.... ;) ) are helping my knee problem.

 

Wishing everyone else with 'issues', the best possible outcomes.

Margie, yes MERLOT is mainly for wet AMD,  which is the most destructive. We did a trial at our hospital and it works for dry AMD too. 

 

Ah gout. I have it too. Well controlled with Allopurinol, but being vegetarian, lots of the stuff I eat is loaded with purines.

Set off to go fishing. Just down the road and realised that I had forgotten my 'close to' glasses that enable me to tie flies onto the line. So back hometo collect. Set off again and the batteries in the hearing implant device failed....back home to replace. Set off for a third time ....bugger! forgot to fit the denture plate. I could not possibly arrive at the fishing lodge and greet the delightful lady receptionist with a' 'gappy' smile :rolleyes: ..so back home again.... I'm thinking...good job I don't have to wear a truss or bag or take any medication, otherwise I would have to start out the day before:rolleyes:  OK slightly exagerating but it shows what is coming :rolleyes::biggrin:

Sounds like you are headed for a second teenage session, Ben.  There is a proper name for it.  I was gonna put menopause, but I know it can't be that.  :biggrin:. Maybe it's adolescence.  I don't know.  Enjoy it anyroad.

Maybe he's discovered the Elixir of Youth!  So that's what he gets in that tiny cup at the counter in Bulwell Wethers...and he told us it was espresso! :wacko:

When I saw Cardiologist on 31st Aug, he just told me that part of my heart wasn't getting a good blood supply and he wanted to do an Angiogram.  Me being dozy I didn't ask him which part.  I mean I know I already have a blocked artery to my right ventricle but I get by..  So does he mean another artery is getting blocked?

Anyway he said it would be 3-4 weeks until the Angiogram and so yesterday only 7 days after my appointment they sent me another one for a 'Pre Op' .

 

Now I am confused...  Never had a 'pre op' for an Angiogram before...  :unsure:

Recieved phone call this morning from the QMC eye dept, can you be here this saturday ? Yes, no problem says I. Is it for the urgent refferal appointment I've been waiting for ?

No she says, we should have gave you an appointment back in March, 3 months after your laser surgery but yo got missed off the list !  Ah well.
