I'm alive!! Can't get rid of me that easily... Went down at half two, got back to ward an hour ago, feel much better, but op took much longer than planned and they have a drain coming out of my belly, nurse said it was more fucked than they thought so looks like a Monday / tuesday discharge.... Bit gutted but hey ho, sorted now! Waiting for the dr to come round with a proper report on what happened.
Nice one, Jimbo. Think of it as a chance to put your feet up for a bit Also you'll never have to have the pesky thing out again. I've been getting sympathy twitches in my gut all afternoon and I'm just sure mine's waiting to flare up like a chinese lantern
Glad your ok fella like Rich says I was also having sympathy spasms in my guts as well but it turned out to just be last nights curry on the move.
Cheers fellas. Hmmm curry!! Great news I'm nil by mouth till Sunday, that'll be 4.5 days of no food! And vino though his diet was hardcore.... Here you go Si, it's all key hole so no scars really But this is hanging off me
It's great you're okay Jimbo. I very nearly lost an aunty a couple of weeks ago to peritonitis. It's a nasty, insidious disease that gives you very little warning it'sf ucking you up. Get well soon dude.
I was going to say i'm glad you made it out in one piece ,but you didn't really did you? I am pleased to hear you're ok though, and feeling better. I too have had a painful belly all day, i wondered what it was, but apparently its your fault.. .
A speedy recovery mate,looks like you won't miss much this weekend it's gunna piss it down. Those tubes are making me feel queazy.
Good going mate, mine was a bit like you apart from was in a load of pain went to doc he said no no its not that week later same back again was in pain all week, then collapsed outside one afternoon, called the local doc he said get down ASAP, crawled into car drove down, sent in ambulance to a and e they said no no not that will look in morn to see what's wrong then fug me a day later came round and the doc said you were lucky it was just about to burst and we got it just in time...I said your taking the piss right....lol Glad your back on track mate. p.s hate posting with phone sorry txt is poor...
Cheers sideways and art Sound like my first batch mate, 4 days in agony for them to finally decide it was that then the rumbling stopped so they left it in - obviously not a good call. Still yet to see the surgeon so don't know how bad it was. My bros burst on him, that was real bad, nearly killed him. Crazy hey, we dont even need it
It's all bizarre mate, they looked at mine keyhole like you then removed it through the inspection hole, amazing really shame it took a week or more.. At least your ok mate and on he mend, just don't let the food kill you, at least you can't taste the drip.....lol
I think you will be ok mate, i have just spoken to a doctor friend of mine and he says it has all the symptoms of a Phantom Pregnancy (Hope this helps) now wheres my Chicken Balti?
*imagines Jimbo calling the nurse out and asking "errrr, sorry to bother you but do you know if this stuff would sweat DOT4 if I were to use it to do a rear brake reservoir mod"*
I had my appendix out about a year ago. Went to a&e at 0800 was seen straight away. The doctor said to me if it looks like a donkey and smells like a donkey and sounds like a donkey then it's your appendix....WTF...... Great I thought. Doc says I will get you some pain relief. 12hrs later I was still standing in the a&e waiting room waiting for my pain relief. Doc was finishing his shift and handing over to another doc when he walked passed me. 'Are you back in again' he said. 'No I've never left still waiting for pain relief' I said. Fcuk me, I will get another look at you before I go. Couple of swabs from the rusty sheriffs badge and a feel at my stomach and he says, you need surgery now I think it's ruptured. Straight up to the surgical ward and I'm shaved and ready to go. Get into the operating theatre the bloody Butcher is watching the Liverpool match. 'Do you mind if we finish the match first', carry on I said I'm going nowhere. Job done back in ward, no keyhole for me. Twenty staples. I wake up boaking like the girl in the exorcist and shit myself. Sent home next day. Week later I'm still no better. Back in to a&e. Sent for an ultrasound. A bloody 6" blood clot where my appendix was. Back into surgery. On the butchers table the nurse asks to see my hospital band to make sure I get the right operation. I haven't got one. They confused my h4h band for my hospital band. Could of had the frank and beans cut off. Wake up in the ward again two tubes one in my pelvis and one in my stomach. They had to shave a bit off my bowel which was too sticky. Next day I'm moved into a private room with a tv and window, I'm thinking they must know how important I am or it's a treat for fcuking up my first operation. After a week in my first class room they send me home. On receiving my meds to take home they tell me that I had c-diff and in fact my room upgrade was the isolation room. They didn't tell me that while I was in the fcuking room. A year on and Two operations and over 30 staples in my stomach cause they opened me twice in the same place I'm better and can laugh about it. I have a fcuking awesome scar to match my shrapnel wound in my leg to show off. I don't blame anybody for the fcuk up cause the doctors and nurses do an awesome job and we all make mistakes. It just so happened to be my turn, I'm fit and well now. You couldn't make this shite up!!!!!!!!
I've some fair story's too as been in and out for broken bones and all that won't go into detail but I get what your saying, however if a bike comes in and the bloke says its the starter I change the starter not the wheel you get what I mean....lol I broke my shoulder and saw the x rays, smashed to bits it was, anyway 10 docs later one said I'm gonna pull your dislocated shoulder for you, I say mate no offence but if you go to pull my shoulder I'm gonna punch your lights out.....lol he never came back....lol when they went to plate it I asked for a permanent marker, they said why, I said coz I want to write on my arm, THIS SIDE!
Blimey bry, sounds terrible mate! Im going to be in a while now, apparently it was quite bad so they want to keep pumping antibiotics in me via the drip... Dr's are skirting round weather it burst or not as they left it for two days before they operated... Hmm but looking at Monday / Tuesday at best... Ate today though which perked me up big time, feel so much better, just had a cup of tea and watching the rest of my film... Dave also popped up tonight which was cool, had a natter and chatted bikes which is always good for the soul! Cheers again dave! Made my evening much more pleasant...
