Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If it is the gall bladder avoid fatty foods, my mum's had hers removed and get discomfort if the eats fatty food, but then you have to have fish & chips form a chippy every now and then.

What she does before though is have a Gaviston sachet which does help.

To top it off my sister might have a gallstone, which doesn't help the week you start a new job.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I've not had any problems with fatty foods and haven't noticed any change in my digestive system at all since my operation.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good tip on the Gaviston Hom3r I will keep that in mind if I need a operation.
Sending your sister my best wishes and lets hope it's not gallstones I know I am.

If I need a operation Osem I hope I'm like as I'm bad enough with the illness that I have where tummy problems/certain foods are concerned.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l was told once l had my gall bladder operation to just stick to a balanced diet and that's what l try to stick to but occasionally l have the odd fried meal but the key is not to have it all the time in my book.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The thing is that it's possible that gall bladder problems (if you indeed have them) have been the cause of (or contributed to) some of your existing digestion problems. If this is the source of your pain, taking it out might actually alleviate some of the other symptoms I'd have thought. I my case I had gall stones (actually a sludge rather than stones) but my gall bladder had become badly infected and that's something else which is far more serious.

Anyway these will be questions you'll want to ask the quacks in time. Just don't hang around for ages waiting if you're really suffering in pain. If I hadn't taken myself off to A&E when I did I'd likely have wound up with pancreatitis. Only you know how bad you feel. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My mother's been in hospital for the past three weeks after being found collapsed in her house. We thought she was improving and would be able to come out soon but today she was found out of it sitting in a chair. A stroke was suspected but after tests it seems not.

The prognosis is not good as her heart is also weak. :( My older sister is keeping us posted.

Because she's been suffering from dementure which seems to have got worse quickly I've been prepared for the inevitable final result but had hoped to have her for a little longer.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks my valued CF friends for your thoughts and prayers. I really helps and I've sent them on to the rest of the family (my two sisters) I visited the hospital today with them but I can't just sit there and watch her slip away even though she looks so serene so I've come back to the house and I'm throwing myself into some domestic tasks after a beer at the local and use of their WiFi. At least the OH is only a call away.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hi heero, my heart goes out to you. I went through the same with my Father. I guess we all know that one day we will have to say goodbye to our parents but that doesn't make it any easier. I would go into hospital each day and watch him fade away. I poured my heart out to him in the hopes that somewhere deep down inside of him he knew I was there.

We all have to manage in our own way and it sounds as though you are continuing to be the caring son that we, your forum friends, have come to know. Stay strong sweetie.

Jo.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh heero I'm so sorry the only thing I can say is just take care of each other, lean on each other, be there for each other and I'm sure you and your sisters will do just that.

Heero my thoughts are with you and your family.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So my fistula has definitely not worked which will need replacing and then they told me there is a problem with my chest catheter (which is what I use for dialysis at the moment) so it looks like more hospital time to come.

Oh and I have to get up at 2:30am tomorrow to do a blood sugar for the course I'm doing.

My mum has had Gaviston before a meals as well.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The 'Gaviscon Advance' is the good stuff, 4x10ml before/after meals without fail!
Mind you I am still awaiting gallbladder operation 2yrs and waiting.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hope if I do have gallbladder problems I don't need to wait that long finger's crossed.

I'm now in panic mode!

I'm just trying to get the last minute stuff organized for the wee one's school trip. I'm in total panic mode now so checking the to do list and done list over once again and hoping that I have not forgot anything. Hubby and I will have to go over the his first aid/medicine as each child is responsible for their own pain relief, anti-histamine, insect repellent, sun lotion, after sun etc I'm not to worried about that tbh as he is quite a sensible boy for his age.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly my mum passed away early this morning. peacefully. Staff at West Cornwall hospital, Penzance have been very good.

Brenda P. 29/11/1930 - 13/06/2016. RIP Mum. Stevie, Mandy and Belinda P:cry:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I am truly sorry for your loss :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

weenie: As you may recall I had a surgical procedure that required special blood medication that stopped my blood from clotting (not warfarin) this I had to take for 12months. Then I had to wait till this medication left my system, another 2months.
So in reality 10months on the waiting list.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My condolences. Makes my moan tonight look a piddling trivial matter, so I won't mention it. All I will say is that I am feeling the loneliness in my life right now re: no girlfriend.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Me too matey :( .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sincere commiserations matey - thankfully she didn't suffer too long and you'll be able to concentrate more on all your happy memories without the pain of an awful lingering death.

I have a feeling my old man is nearing crunch time now. He was given months to live back in October and has been gradually getting weaker, although not suffering any pain. Last night he told us he's been peeing blood for a few days so it's off to hospital this morning for tests. I'm hoping it's just a urinary tract infection but part of me is thinking the cancer has spread and he might not be coming home. Worrying times...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l sincerely hope it is not as bad as you fear Osem regarding your Dad and l have my fingers crossed that it is just a urinary tract infection that can be treated quickly with antibiotics.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My condolences.Treasure your memories.:group:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks Den. He's in A&E now and we're just waiting to hear what's going to be happening when whatever tests are needed have been done. He's looking very frail but is a tough old boot... :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's never easy when a parent gets older it is very much role reversal for us "children" I worry about my Mum all the time as she is so secretive just last week when I was cleaning her house I found a load of medication hidden under her bed and here was all of us thinking she was taking her meds. The trouble with my Mum is she is hard work I mean that in a nice way although it is very frustrating at times, whereas my Dad not a problem but then again he faces stuff head on instead of head in the sand.

Let's hope it's not the latter Osem fingers crossed it's a urinary tract infection. Hugs to you and your family take care.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks everybody for your kind regards and PM's. It's much appreciated.

I'm finding some catharsis in attacking the garden and taking it out on the nettles, bindweed and goose grass.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well the old man's being kept in for a couple of days at least. They don't think it's an infection but it could be anyone of a number of things not necessarily with his cancer. He's got a catheter and is being well and truly flushed through, plus having a blood transfusion as he's anaemic. The doctors have asked whether, given his ongoing situation, he wants them to bother doing lots of quite unpleasant tests or just treat/ameliorate his symptoms and see how it goes. I feel he'll opt for the latter option.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

With Dad still in hospital I popped round to see my mum earlier and found her sitting in the chair with her trousers and underwear around her ankles. She couldn't remember how she got from the toilet to the lounge... :(

The best thing you can do Mark is just ignore them as people who throw out vile and nasty insults are really the lowest of the low and should be totally ignored in my opinion.

It'd be in the horror section by the sound of it, still they're gone now :hyper:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We were called to the hospital last night as the staff had increasing concerns for the old man. Low blood pressure, lung infection, serious bladder issues and that's on top of the cancer in his major organs. He looked so tired and weak that I was pretty sure he'd pass away in the night but he's still hanging on today and it isn't a pretty sight. He's always been a fit, strong, active man (hardly ever been ill until last year) and now he's reduced to a bag of bones. It'd be far more humane if he had a simple button he could press when he felt it had all become too much. As it is, the suffering's continued and I'm just hoping he'll pass away restfully in his sleep without enduring too much more of this. It serves no purpose. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Being dismissed. I told my relative a week and half ago she had a chest infection, but refused to listen. Now on her second weeks course of steroids to kick it, and been told that she has to use her other inhaler which I'd said all last week.

l can only those same sentiments to Osem as its very difficult when you know loved ones are in their last few weeks and days and you know they are suffering and you just don't want them to be in pain anymore.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes guys, it is hard to watch but so much worse for him because he's fully aware of what's going on so doesn't even have the luxury of being 'out of it'. Mum's been over to see him for what'll probably be their final goodbye given her situation and I'll be off to see him later - just hope the end to his suffering will come soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The other week I hit a water covered pothole that was so deep you could have gone scuba diving in.

Well since then I've been hearing a weird noise form the front left.

Booked into the garage but no luck until the 1st of July.

I looked and discovered the spring has jumped out of the bottom mount and obviously rubbing, so I have to borrow my dads car.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

After suffering sinus infections constantly for over a year, I got referred to an ENT specialist a couple of months ago and after many antibiotics and sprays/tablets that did very little I got some tests and a CT scan.

I got told last week that I will need surgery ASAP as I have nasal polyps and a papilloma that all need to be removed ASAP. The tumour has a 90% chance of being benign I am told.

Still doesn't stop me thinking about that 10%. They are also going to open up my sinus to try and stop it getting infected as easily.

I will be glad when its done as I have had a blocked nose for over 6 months and a constantly running nose due to the papillloma.

MRI coming up on the 7th so they can see it all in more detail before the surgery.

Feeling rather down today as I had it in my head that the wee one would be home on Monday don't know why I thought this date but I did it was only last night when I was looking at his return flight details that I realised I would not be seeing my youngest till Tuesday and I just burst out crying. I'm really missing him and although I am getting daily updates I have not spoken to him for ages it feels :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh weenie, you are a great mum. I know how hard it can be when a child is away from home. I also know that tomorrow will seem like a month of Sundays .. as my Dad used to say.... but once you have him safely back home on Tuesday the extra wait will just disappear like a puff of smoke.

Think, just two more sleeps and he will be home, full of all he has experienced, showing you all those pictures, talking a mile a minute and ....... totally knackered.

I remember Peter coming home after a whistle stop 9 day tour of Europe, he was 10 and those 9 days seemed like a life time to me. We picked him up from school at lunch time, by the time we were home he was fast asleep in the back of the car, snoring like traction engine. We carried him upstairs, undressed him, put him to bed and he didn't surface till mid morning the next day. :D
