The Medical Thread.

Well my date has finally arrived for my hip replacement,Monday morning 7:30,can't wait after all the pain I have been in for 3 years and just to be able to walk again....YES!.

Good luck Al hope they look after you and you get well soon, hope the op goes well.

Well after the cancellation of my hip op I finally had it done on 15th of July and I'm glad to say everything went great, just over two weeks after the op and my mobility coming on really well physio starts next week but already walking not too far and taking it nice and easy. Great to be out of pain.

Anyone had re occuring tonislitis here? Last two years now I've got tonsillitis in Jan and it just won't go away, had two set of antibiotics so far. Last year it went once the weather got warmer but untill then I had to deal with severely bad sore throats and flu on and off for months.

Off to hospital tomorrow for my second lot of eye injections, I'm having to have 4 sessions in total as I have leakage at the back of my eyes, they put a needle into the corners of each eye after flooding the eyes with drops to numb them, can't say I'm looking forward to it but it needs to be done.

Wish me luck

Hope everything went well for ya Cas.

Had polyp removed yesterday, felt nervous as usual, but everything seemed to go ok. Stayed with a life long friend overnight as a precaution. The worse part taking two lots of laxatives in the morning, not a pleasant experience !

Not heard it called grade, the term they used for me was the sizing in millimetres. Glad you’re feeling better.

Hope everything went well for ya Cas.

Cheers Al, all went well this time, got the next injections in a months time. had black spots and floaters in front of my eyes for a couple of days but fortunately they've gone now.

All good for now Stuey, got two more lots to have then they'll review how successful or not the injections have been.

Well, good to hear this round seems to have gone well.  To use a football analogy, just need to play it one game at a time

Absolutely hun 

Off to hospital again tomorrow for my 4th and last lot of eye injections, for now anyway, hoping that they've worked, I'll know at the end of next month when I have more tests, fingers crossed. I'm nervous as hell

Hey fellow reds. Any dog/pet lovers here?

Abit of a bad time here. I just accepted in my head I need to send my 17 year old yorkie Rosie to sleep.

I'm not sure how I'm going to get through it. I'm just looking at places who will come do it at the house and then take her for private cremation.

Has anyone been through this? I feel totally broken in 2 and struggling to hold it together. Had her since 9 weeks old and we've been on an amazing journey. She was there in my darkest times .... and never left my side. She's my friend. She's my family.

I feel guilty to end her life ... I feel guilty not to. But she won't eat ... and she can't enjoy life. I have to say goodbye.

It scares the life out of me though.

Sorry to hear that mate.
I’ve got 2 dogs and the thought of what you’re going through is always at the back of my mind. Hope you can deal with it as best you can and that time heals 🤞🏻
