Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When l had it sedation was sadly not a option dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Never been in one myself, but from what I have heard of the pacers, I think the phrase "Still going strong" should actually read "Still going". Probably with a question mark after..

It always seemed to me to be just a way of building trains on the cheap, which, TBH, I don't think is a good idea.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this weenie. :hugs:

Osem Jnr has recently had a gastroscopy for similar reasons and opted not to have the sedation. He couldn't eat for 6 hours beforehand but apart from that it wasn't too bad. He's going to see the consultant in a couple of days so we'll know more then. Sounds like you have the same issue... :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

[QUOTE=weenie;35928340]LOL



This morning my GP said that she was going to arrange for me to have a upper GI endoscopy and she would be requesting sedation which I must say I'm glad that she is requesting sedation for me.

I have never had a upper GI scope but I would assume very little prep is needed for this, not like a colonoscopy in where you need to drink that awful laxative stuff called moviprep :sick:

You will be ok with this Weenie, I get one every two years and you are normally knocked out before the tube goes down , I dreaded my first one but I big deep breath and you don't remember I think, Good Luck

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No weenie I haven't, and I hope to God I don't have to, I think they would have to knock me out, same for an MRI scan, I'm a wimp. :erm:

PS Mr T had one done, and no problem for him.:) PPS weenie I have no doubt you will be fine, and I truly hope the result will show nothing to worry about :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I've had a few but I need general anaesthesia as my gag reflex is very strong. I tried with sedation and local but still no good. I was quite relaxed and tried to swallow but no good.

I had acid reflux and this can cause the oesophagus lining to change and be more like the stomach and this is not a good thing. I now take Omeprazol (antacid) and am fine. I can't drink too many spirits as this causes issues but one or two every now and again is fine.

Fortunately my pacemaker wires prevent me having MRI. The last one I had was cardiac so had to be awake but you don't end up fully inside a tube for that but prior to that I needed a general. There are some MRI systems around that use a sort of doughnut and technology is getting faster too meaning you don't need to lay immobile for an extended period which is what really got me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry I haven't been around much lately ...

I am sure you will do fine weenie. I always have sedation plus the throat spray, and it's a lot easier than a Colonoscopy.

As tweetiepooh says the newer doughnut MRI is great. My hospital has the latest one and it's a lot faster and, as a result, I can deal with the claustrophobia that the slower machine always triggered.

I have heard a rumour that sometime next year there maybe an upright one installed which I think you just sit in which will be better still.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Weenie you will be fine as long as you get the sedative,

I thought I had just missed the 10 past 3 bus home, but people waiting at the stop said it let a few people off, changed to "Setting down only", and buggered off.

Then the 20 to 4 bus didn't arrive.

Then the 10 past 4 bus turned up at half past 4!

Standing room only all the way home (40 minutes through backstreets).

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Anyone here having hearing problems?
Me I am now deaf as a post, having to rely on subtitles just to follow a TV program.
Just find it annoying that at times parts of a dialogue is missing, imagine it's like being told a joke but missing out on the punch line.
Seems BBC/ITV both use the same speech to dialogue program which misses out on part dialogues.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hi raging bull.

My husband is deaf, he wears 2 hearing aids which let him hear loud sounds but don't help at all with hearing what people say. He relies on lip reading and gets very frustrated when we are with people who mumble or don't face him, or on seeing the aids, talk to him as though he is simple.

As far as subtitles are concerned he finds them extremely frustrating and distracting as they rarely give an accurate reflection of what he knows is being said.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I totally agree with everything you've said. I also wear 2 hearing aids which allows me to hear certain sounds. Even at the cinema( IMAX) the sound can be deafeningly loud but I still can't understand a word that is being said. I can not watch anything without subtitles nor watch anything that is live as the subtitles just don't seem to work and it gets too frustrating, so tend to wait for the repeats which will have the correct timed subtitles.

Even those that know me still don't accommodate and speak a bit louder which is also annoying. You get fed up asking people to repeat themselves to the point you just nod and say yeah all the time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That must be very frustrating for everyone and I will be honest I have no experience of this, but what I did experience was not long before my Mother passed away and she was wheel chair bound people ignored her and spoke to either myself or my Dad.

On many occasions while taking my Mum for a short stroll, people often asked me how my Mum was doing this was despite my Mum being there right in front of them or if they did speak to my Mum they spoke to her as if she was a child, looking back this must have been very frustrating for my Mum.

My only regret now is I wish I had the nerve/guts at the time to tell them to speak to my Mum as I can only imagine the hurt this may have caused her.

If I ever find myself in this position like this again, I will ask them very discreetly to speak directly to the person. I know that I learned a lesson from this and I now make a conscious effort of speaking directly to the person in a wheel chair as who knows I may have been guilty of this action myself, although I do hope I didn't.

:romance: Happy Anniversary dilli & Natalie :romance:

I have been to the Apple store at the Braehead shopping center only to be told that my son's iPhone has water damage to say I was not pleased is an understatement, needless to say my hubby and youngest followed one very annoyed wife & Mum out the Apple store, in what can only be described with oh oh expression on their face.

I suppose this amused the tech guy, on the plus side I'm glad I made someone smile.

I asked my son have you used this in the bathroom, has this phone got wet at any time etc, is there any chance of water damage etc and of course he answered no Mum :rolleyes:

So today I wasted my time traveling to Glasgow very early may I add as we had a appointment with the apple tech genius bar at 09:35...

Then when I got home I bought out the contract and got my son a new contract as there is no point in paying for something that you can't use, and I got him a new phone with a new contract.

He got the Samsung J5 2017 as I have this phone, he did not have a choice on what phone he got, no I tell a lie I gave my little darling a choice and that was, Black or Gold or no phone.

ATM, my youngest thinks this is now his Christmas and for now I think I may just let him continue this thought progress but I will tell him later on that this is not the case :) I'm not that mean.

They said since I'm down as urgent it does not matter that I have not stopped taking my Omeprazole just don't take them today or tomorrow, nor does it matter that I have not had a pre assessment.

I'm pleased and shocked at the short notice tbh.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Today I have never experienced a more unpleasant procedure and to matters worse they could not carry it out due to my reaction and fear. My discharge form states sedation has no affect on patient :(

I felt the nurses were great but the guy doing it had no bed side manner at all thus making me worse, I felt he was extremely obnoxious and in general did not consider me the patient at all, in fact he only made it worse. I did ask if they could try again and give me more sedation in where he quickly replied NO.

This is my first bad experience and hope it's my last.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's terrible weenie.

There is no excuse for such an unfeeling approach, I would ask that you have someone else do the procedure next time and explain why. Do not let it slide, also ask if a different sedation could be used with maybe some form of pre-med that would help you relax before you even attended the hospital on the day of the your second visit.

Try to enjoy Christmas and put this horrible experience to one side. <<hugs>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that. From what I know is that it varies from hospital to hospital and if they have recovery beds or not for that type of procedure as to when it comes to sedation. I know my hospital only gives you about 2 -5mg of Diazepam which will not sedate you enough so they don't need recovery rooms so most tend to go for the horrible spray.

If it weren't for the prep I'd take a colonoscopy over an gastroscopy every time but everyone is different. If you have a colonoscopy due any time soon you could ask for it to be done at the same time as then you'd be given the proper type of sedation which is what I had done for my first one. Or see your GP and ask for Diazepam yourself and take 10-15mg 20-30mins before you in.

I'm quite a nervous patient myself and I hate it when they don't take this into account. I remember once having a meeting with a surgeon about an op and I asked a simple question and he couldn't be bothered to answer it other than saying 'I wouldn't know till I have your bowels on the table next you to will I'. I didn't take the op after that.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My thoughts are with you weenie :hugs: as l certainly cannot complain about any of the staff when l had the same procedure as my problems started when the gave me IV antibiotics and thus straight away l was sick several times and when they did do the procedure it was a very uncomfortable experience and not one l wish to repeat.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks Jo, peanut and den.

Needless to say that I'm still very upset over this matter and I have been in touch with the Patient Affairs Manager at this hospital.

I explained that I was told I wouldn't remember anything about it but I remember the whole horrid experience.

I told her that in my opinion the full thing was a complete farce due to many factors with the first one being - in the procedure room it became apparent that I had not even signed a consent form and once this was noted I was expected to sign without even reading it as I never had my specs on, when I drew their attention to the fact that I could not read what I was signing they just said a consent form for sedation, the patients affair manager did say that this should not have happened the consent form should have been signed before entering the procedure room.

I did say that imo I should have either been offered more sedation or giving some time to calm myself down therefore being more relaxed and for them to try again.

The way I'm feeling at the moment hell will freeze over before I go for that procedure again, although hubby wants me to go again. I have made a appointment with my GP in January to discuss peanuts and Jo's advice about getting some pre-med and if not I'm afraid I will not be back for upper GI scope ever again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's not other shoppers these days, but the delivery pickers with their huge trolleys.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We went in the supermarket early yesterday as l was in my wheelchair connected to the supermarket trolley and every isle we came to there must have been 3 or 4 delivery pickers and then on top of that there were stacks and stacks of Roll Containers with all the stock on it to go out on the shelves.

It was frankly unacceptable even for a normal able bodied person to try to navigate themselves around the aisles with everything in the way so you could imagine what it was like for us.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Our Sainsbury's was heaving, massive queue to get in and out. Fortunately I was on foot.

Don't forget those shoppers having a family reunions in the middle of the aisles and the lardy chicanes waddling about. Then there's the old'uns that forgot their glasses and stand a mile from the shelf to see what they want.

Then there's Mrs Twiddle purse who insists on paying the exact amount in loads of small coins.

So sorry to hear this weenie, you're right to be upset and complain but try not to let it ruin your Christmas.

I took my niece up to Stansted as her girlfried was arriving from Glasgow, but she was stuck on the plane for nearly an hour, as it was to icey to de plane.

I was clock watching as the car park has 1 hour free upto 2 hours £1, then jumps to £23 :O

Luckily she got off.

Why did it take so poxy long.

I won't even go there as regard to the rip off parking fee's. I mean to drop off and collect from the front of the terminal building costs £3.60 for 10 minutes, after that it leaps to £50, pray you don't get caught in a exit queue.

There is a special scheme for a discount if you live within 10 miles, I'm just over that so don't qualify.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Best to go in short stay there unless you can be sure you wont be long.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The airport is a 30 min drive from my front door.

Usually we park in the mid stay car park go to the terminal then back to the car park within a hour, which will be free.

An old skiing injury to my knee has flared up over the last two days. I can barely bend my leg and it's really painful to get up from sitting. Climbing the stairs is dot and carry one. I'm reluctant to take pain killers but last night I surrendered to a couple of ibuprofen to get to sleep.

It takes several days to settle down. I think these sort of injuries you never fully recover from.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

As you say heero nothing you can really do, as a injury like this does not really heal 100% unfortunately. Have you tried hot and cold packs on your knee. The reason I'm asking is when hubby used to get knee injury's from his Taekwondo day's that is what he done along with Ibuprofen.

With the high winds of late two of the polycarbonate sheets have been blown out of our greenhouse. I managed to get one back in and the next day another one blew out, going to be tricky getting it back in as it is in the roof. Anyone know how to get them to stay put? :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You could try some silicone sealant which is flexible and UV resistant I suppose. A lot depends on the nature of the greenhouse and where it's sited but it's possible that making those panels more 'permanent' might cause more extensive wind damage to the rest of the structure so you'd need to think about that. Better to have to refit a couple of panels every so often than have the whole thing blow down... :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Make sure the frame is well anchored down. Any flexing could encourage the panels to pop out.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Many thanks for that Osem and heero. I am happy that the frame is square and secured in place. I did put sealant round some of the panels as the greenhouse leaks like a sieve, and these panels do not appear to be affected, or just possibly luckily they were not.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

There's a lot to be said for 'sacrificial' panels in windy situations. If you secure everything too much you risk losing the lot when things get rough. ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nothing like that reliable old stereotyping of yours l see Mr K...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

cat's don't have owners they have staff .


Cat owners are generally not
responsible for the ‘normal’ behaviour
of cats because the law accepts that
cats tend to wander into other
properties and have instincts which,
for example, lead them to prey on
small birds. So cat owners should be
reassured that the simple fact of their
cat trespassing onto a neighbour’s
land would not make them responsible
if, for example, the cat kills a pigeon or
garden bird, urinates on plants or
flowers, or defecates in a neighbour’s
soil. These would be ‘normal’ cat
behaviours that would be expected
and, while some neighbours may have
strong feelings about the presence of
a cat in their garden, the law of
trespass and the general civil law
would make it unlikely that a claim
against a cat owner could be made for
these everyday occurrences.
