Mike and fellow gardeners and friends.Apologies for not posting here sooner,its been a very busy day and hospitals were once again on the agenda.My 15 year old daughter had to see the ENT specialist about a nasal polyp.She has perennial rhinitis which she inherits from me bless her and will need to have it removed under GA.We could be waiting two months though but I suppose it could be worse.
Anyway Mike,you are making me wince my friend at the descriptions of your catheter.Just the thought of it makes me cringe and you have my most profound sympathy.Hopefully that instrument of torture will be rendered superfluous in the very near future.
Oh and as I was sitting in the waiting room today with Mrs Fish and my daughter,I was examining a very impressive quilt/tapestry thingy on the wall.There were two statements sewn into it saying 'gardening gladdens the heart and soothes the soul' and 'gardeners make friendships that grow'. I think I got that right,I'm typing from memory.How appropriate me thinks
Hi Mike sorry haven't posted earlier. So glad to hear you are doing well, keep on at the hospital or your GP about the pain they must give you something stronger, at least till you start to heal internally. Keep posting and keep well
Mike - bless you I know the catheter is grim, my Pa has had one for over 4 years. It'll soon be out and you'll be feeling much more like yourself. Try to look forward to sitting out in your garden and enjoying the summer - if you can relax the pain will ease.
Some of us are going to Bressingham Gardens today so I'll post some pictures this evening. I'll have an ice cream on your behalf - I'm so kind
Thinking of you ((hugs))

Oh dear, sounds awful. I hope you manage to get a night's rest. Perhaps you need antibiotics, could be an infection. Go to A&E tomorrow. When I was a nurse I don't remember men saying it hurt that much, perhaps they were putting on a brave face. I've removed catheters and no one even said "ow".
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Yep sounds like that needs medical attention now Mike.What are you supposed to do,sit in agony over the bank holiday?? Could a nurse come out from your local GP surgery?
Thinking of you Mike. It does sound like it might be an infection. Get to the doctors or A&E as soon as you can, or call the doctor out if the thought of the journey is too much. Hope you get a good nights rest at least.
Mike - please get some attention for that. My Dad suffered in silence with a broken arm after taking a tumble in the bathroom, and despite me telling him I'd come and take him to get it looked at he kept playing it down as just being 'a little bit sore'. When I came round two days after it had happened I couldn't believe the state of it. He was frightened of having to go to hospital and leave my Mum. Fiercely independent.
Don't be a hero - it doesn't sound right
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Hang in there mate and much love, the fishes

Thinking of you this morning Mike and hoping you're ok ((hugs))

Just a thought - can you phone your surgery and ask the Practice Nurse for advice - tell her how much pain you're in.
