Sorry to hear about your Dad, GazChap. He's in the best place now, I'm sure he'll be ok.

It'd make a nice memory quilt I guess. Especially using the motifs from children's tees growing up as they tend to show all of their favourite characters and interests.

I'm sorry GazChap, I hope he will be ok soon
hopefully he'll come home soon saying he was always right: call doctor -> hospital -> tubes

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Gazchap. I'm sure he'll be okay!

My Dad has just come out of hospital having had an operation to fix his buggered left knee. Bless him, last year he was in having the lenses replaced in his eyes due to cataracts. Next year it'll probably be his arms, then he'll probably need some kind of artificial heart, then finally a BIOS chip installed in his brain. By the time he reaches 70, I expect to have a fully bionic Robo-Dad.

How long was your dad in with his knee, Zio? I know my grandmother is older than your dad (well, I hope), but she's still in following her knee op at the beginning of March.

He's 65, so not sure how much is in it age wise. In the end, he was only in for a few days as he responded better than they hoped in tests after the op - it would've been longer if he'd needed more hands on physio before it was safe for him to leave. My dad is a very active man though and I sense he's getting increasingly frustrated having to hobble around at home.

He has got one awesome scar on his knee though, with proper staples holding it all together.

Having just read - because I'm an idiot - the NHS page about the TIBC test I had blood taken for this morning I can hardly wait for the results.

I've changed focus though - while my chest was hurting earlier* I decided to check my resting heart rate a few times, and seeming low at barely 60bpm I went to wikipedia which led me to Bradycardia matching my symptoms almost exactly, possibly with a side of arrythmia.

It's better than my liver and/or kidneys being (possibly) fucked and booze being a no-go.

* This has been happening when I'm very stressed/anxious, which I'm not at the moment, and I've been particularly short of breath and fatigued all day, despite being more mentally alert than I've been in months.

Post subject:  Re: The 'NAY!' Thread

Hooray, I managed to check my rate while a wave of chest pain was in progress - it seems to correspond to my pulse being stronger and rate rising to nearer 70 except for some missing/faint beats. Um.

I'm going to back away from the internet and look forward to being in the pub now - gotta get the pints in before they're banned.

Post subject:  Re: The 'NAY!' Thread

Rising to 70?

That's my resting heart rate.

Oh, and a nay of my own: I've lost a stone since last Monday through not eating. (no exercise either haha dieticians). If you've seen me I don't have that stone to spare!

Post subject:  Re: The 'NAY!' Thread

Yeah - there's no way my resting heart rate should be that low with being as fat and lazy as I am, especially with the amount of stress I'm loading onto myself.

My resting rate is around 80-90, my exercising rate goes off the chart! :D

Post subject:  Re: The 'NAY!' Thread

I'm supposed to ring in a week, like last time. Though last time they rang me first. I'm getting annoyed enough by the chest pain and shortness of breath now that I'll probably go in again before then anyway. And get a prescription for the steroid cream the dermatology consultant recommended this morning. And get them to chase up the other referral that's gone awol. Oh, and see what's happening with the varicose vein lasers, because I should've heard about those by now too.

Jesus, this. When I was using the gym before Easter, I was over 120 within 5 mins of starting exercise, and regulalrly went above the "alert" level (165 I think)

When exercising at low intensity that I can keep up on a treadmill for 20-30 minutes with no issue, i'm at around 160 or so. High intensity i'm up around 180.
I'm 5'11", 12 and half stone, do a jog every so often (not as often as I should) and walk 7k to and from work every single day without feeling it in the slightest.

Like I said, i'm hardly unfit or overweight, it's just one of those things.

My resting rate is also around 80. Under heavy exercise it gets up to around 160. But I am slightly unfit these days and being an asthmatic on daily green inhalers doesn't help. 5'11'' and 14st6lb for the record.

Just heard back from the hospital. They don't think it's a stroke, they just think it's an infection of some sort that's knocked her about. With her MS and general difficulty moving about, the symptoms were definitely stroke-like so "we did the right thing bringing her in."

Phew. They're gonna keep her in for a bit to keep an eye on her though, apparently.

Not quite, but one of them went really spiky, flashed big red warning lights and then flatlined. I did point this out to them, but they didn't seem overly concerned, and by the noises she was making Maria was clearly still alive.

Coz she was drugged to the eyeballs and was about to have an emergency C-Section (but they managed to drag out the baby using forceps first).

Ooh, forceps? Mrs Grim...'s doctor has some device that was like the sucky-pads you use to hold your Satnav onto your windscreen. Going by how hard the doc was pulling (she had one foot on the base of the bed and you could see the muscles on her arm standing out) it was considerably better, though.
