I don't keep up!  But I'm in hospital so got a bit of time for a catch up.

Oh no, hope it's nothing too serious SF

For those who believe in intelligent design rather than evolution all I can say that it didn't work here    


A sequence of a mango-sized chondroma, gall stones, dodgy prostate and inguinal hernia seems instead to be nature's way of telling me to slow down.  Hopefully when the stitches heal all will be well, but I'm royally fed up with the last five years.


Mind you it still isn't the done thing to talk about gentlemen's illnesses.  So my apologies to anyone offended.  I'll blame it on the morphine.

Absolute nonsense, you shout away, you'll feel much better having shared your troubles. Hope you are feeling better soon, that's a lot to contend with.

Yep, SF - you go ahead and tell us about it - all my best wishes for your recovery!

[kja]

   hope you feel better soon sf.

i dont always keep up i just dont have the time with real life etc so i usually skim through a couple of areas and read the odd topic.

It's refreshing to see a man will talk about men's health issues, SF - so you shout away!  In fact, it being Movember, you jolly well should be shouting away!

BH ridiculed Michael Owen's moustache; somehow he couldn't see why Mike Owen sporting a ridiculous moustache should remind him to go and check his testicles... 

All the best for a good recovery, SF.

Hope you feel better soon SF and totallt agree that men should talk about health issues
Bloomer, how do you bookmark? That would be handy to know
Mrs snoodles, I do exactly the same, come on here for a quick look and and hour later.........still here
and I am supposed to be doing some house work now but oh well it can wait for a bit

i just use my chrome browser and have a folder on the top bar called TAS i save threads in there and when they no longer interest me delete them...


particularly if they are more obscure threads that won't receive responses immediately.


its also where i park quick links to threads i need to refer back to regularly, (shortbread recipe springs to mind)


for most threads just using the unread posts button at the top of the page is enough to keep up with what's going on!!!

  Thanks bloomer

Everyday it feels like someone keeps adding balls to my juggling set but somedays it feels like someone has set them on fire! Small holding is really hardworking but do you wonder if we would be happy spending weekends wondering around shopping centres or in Welles fighting with barb wire and stock fencing? I know which I prefer

I've just had the New Normal hospital experience where you go in, get sliced up, and thrown out the same day. Except they ran late so kept me waiting for 4 hrs while sharpening the carving knife and then I failed to wake up properly afterwards so had to be kept in.


The great thing about this approach is that you arrive home before the bruising really kicks-in so you're telling everyone you're a bit sore but feeling optimistic.  Then your abdomen and nuts go black and you feel like sh*t. Still I apparently was very entertaining while enjoying the morphine and talking total gibberish to the family.


I remember the surgeon visiting after the op but I have no recollection of what he said.  Why do they do that?
