Forum partially down

[Stephen]

Bit of strange one.

Forum works fine on my mobile but it's a no go on my iPad where I get the following error message.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

[Mervyn and Trish]

I don't think that's the forum. That's the online medical report from your doctor.

Your not far wrong actually Merv

Had my CT scan this afternoon with the hope I'd be going home. Turns out the dye didn't go all the way where it was supposed to. On top of that it showed there is blood accumulating around the kidney.

So, as and when they can slot me in they will do another CT scan and either X-Ray or ultrasound on the kidney.

On a slightly positive note while I'm here Orthopaedics are going to take a look at my painful knee with maybe having a go at aspirating it. That'll be fun.....not.


I think I'll put my name down for staff Christmas meal.

Normal service forum wise has resumed

When you say partially down, do you mean the left hand side or the right hand side?

Are you now on blood thinners to compensate ?

[Stephen]

Blood thinning injection each day at the moment. Whether that will carry on once I get home only time will tell.

Blood thinner injections... they're b****y sharp!!!
Likely you'll be on blood thinner tablets when you get home, but I'm not a doctor.

Ask if you can just consume large quantities of red wine rather than blood thinner!

(Someone I know was told they could halve their warfarin dosage if they had 2 glasses of red wine each day.)

[Stephen]

The amount of red I drink I’m surprised my blood needs thinning. Someone’s been lying when they say it’s good for you

[david63]

Leave a nice bruise don’t they.

Mine didn't - but then again they used clean needles with mine, unlike the rusty nails that you have I was told that they are to prevent clots in your legs if you are lying in bed a lot!

You mean I’m supposed to have a clean needle each time .They kept that quiet.

When they alternate needles between the four of us I thought that was normal. Fortunately It’s my turn to have first poke today

[Mervyn and Trish]

Is that just with the needle or do you have "benefits"‽

That’s because I ain’t doing it for a pack of fruit gums and a curly wurly like wot you do

As an aside ... if you took Clopidogrel tablets, for example, then you would have to stop taking them for five days before they could perform any type of surgery. This would not be a good plan for anybody in Hospital hence the injections.

I'm not a Doctor either but it is deffo factual.

[Mervyn and Trish]

...and a Curly Wurly? Prices have gone up.

I've never taken blood thinner tablets or had injections before so this is all new to me.

Whether it's long term or not time will tell.

Just go with the the flow
