Hospitals......

[hoolahoop]

  How the hell does everyone else cope with long stays in them ?
I just seem incapable of concentrating on one thing at a time constantly darting from the newspaper to a magazine, t'internet, glass of water, wondering about this good looking nurse or that one.
It's driving me up the bloody wall, only 3rd day and still weeks to go!!
Is this normal behaviour.......I just can't settle :(l
Then of course there are the daft questions from all and sundry asking me if I've had a good day, what did I eat etc etc. Like it's some bloody holiday camp I'm in !!!

What's up Hoola?

By the way. I've just been on the UKNurse.com forum. Some young nurse at DRI. Pretty thing going by her avatar. Complaining about some middle aged letch in a Donny shirt who keeps leering at her.

Do you get free wifi in hospital?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Ahhh....yeah. Bloody MY taxes going to let that Liberal-voting get come on here and tell us about fit nurses.

[hoolahoop]

Lol bst got cancer in my lower spine and having op on Monday to remove tumour as only treatment available.
Trust me to get a cancer that only c.40 people get a year in the UK. That and being a Rovers supporter seems to be my lot in life;)
Stuck in bloody Birmingham for 4-6 weeks at least. Anyway I always fancied one of those nice shiny motability cars that they get for nowt.

Cheers Deb and I will bloody beat it but it's going to be tough and doesn't make good reading now does it
BTW are lass has now delivered my Rovers shirt ready for Satdi's game

[Filo]

I bet visiting is a pain in the arse for your lass, all the way to Birmingham

[hoolahoop]

Too right and she works full time she's just left with are young'un for the 2hr.+ drive home. I won't be able to see her again until next bloody Wednesday It's at times like this that you truly realise just how precious time should be with those you love.
My heart is ripped out every time she is told by me to go home. I worry about the trip home for her and her health ; she is losing weight as fast as me.

[jucyberry]

No Steve, you are right, it makes truly horrible reading, but every day there are massive advances, what is fact last week can be slightly different this.

You bet you are going to beat it, you have so much to fight for. xx

Thanks Deb but unfortunately I can't afford the bionic man advances yet even if they were available. when those nerves are severed that's it.....game over.
I have to readjust and realise there are many many folk out there worse than me don't I ?
I fear for Sue, I have all the help I need here but there is so little for her at the moment just 5 hr. round trips, a new job, a 15 year old in her GCSE year and up to 3 months looking after me. She is becoming emaciated before my eyes, I held her this afternoon and there was nowt there l see the fear in her eyes and in her trembling body it racks me with pain.
She knows , like I do, that there are years of this ahead. I'm now effectively "owned" by this hospital in Birmingham for life. Every 3 months, I will have to be checked out here and we will both be wondering if this/that visit means it all starts again.
So many adjustments to the way we think and behave in each interim period will have to be made just to make life anywhere near worth living.
I'm just not sure either of us can make those adjustments but we will have to conquer these fears so that our daughter can develop into adulthood happily.
I just don't know but know that we must somehow.
Incidentally I apologise to the board as these posts should have been in pm form . Perhaps Filo or Rob could arrange that for me.

Hoola, I'm not sure we can convert them to pm, but as they say it's good to talk, and if you feel the need to bend some ones ear then I'm sure there's plenty on here willing to be that ear, myself included, if you need moral support we're here for you mate.

[RTID75]

Ay up Hoola.

Are you in the Royal Orthopaedic? It won't be the first time the red and white hoops have graced that place!  I've spent months in there over the years since the first time I went there in 1996. I had Osteosarcoma and although the cancer is long gone I still have to go back now and again for check ups and occasionally maintenance operations on my leg due to plastic parts in my knee joint that wear out. You may remember me being off work for much of 2009 due to an infection in my leg... Not fun times. I am treated in ward 12 by Mr Jeys / Mr Carter and occasionally Mr Abudu.

I hope you aren't vegetarian if you are in that hospital.  Food has always been truly awful and if vegetarian then the already terrible choices get cut down to one usually. I survive on sandwiches brought in for me. There's a good Chinese locally that'll deliver to the hospital though!

Anyway, wherever you are my thoughts are with you and the Mrs, my friend. Keep positive and do what they tell you to. You can PM me if you like.

Funnily enough I do remember it well and well pleased you are sorted out.
Yes I am under Mr carter and Keys, I'm told they are the best in the business.
Jeez it's a great hospital but so faraway from home:(
As for the food it is average at best, fortunately I don't mind it and am now eating things I would never have dreamed of eating before I.e. hard broad beans ...owt to get some weight on me. I will be wearing the hoops on satdi come what may after my op. On Monday is over for the Reading game.
I will pm you later if you don't mind about certain things but shattered now. Thanks for the post fella

Hoola.

Ditto mate. You put anything you want on here and apologise for nothing. Owt that any of us can do to help keep your spirits up is the least you deserve.

Good luck mate. And if you and Sue want a role model, think about Browny getting another elbow in the back of the head, picking himself up and chucking himself into another challenge.

It's going to be bloody tough for you, but humans are astonishing resilient creatures when they put their mind to it. You'll pull through, and you'll be ten times the man that any of us d**kheads will ever be.

Mr Carter did my original prosthesis operation back in 1997 and both he and Mr Jeys have been involved in operations in recent years, Mr Jeys especially so.  Both are great surgeons with bags of very specialist experience,  and I doubt you'll find a nicer consultant than Mr Jeys - really friendly and very down to earth. They probably are the best.

Like I said, PM me any time.
