Things that make you go GRRRRR.... (Part 2)

Yesterday was my scheduled 5-year check up on my hip replacement. It is doing fine. But they x-ray both hips and the "healthy" right one ain't looking too healthy. Doc said there were signs of degradation (caused by a combination of the same injury that wiped out my left hip, and my body compensating for the structural differences between both joints). So I'm booked in for an arthroscopy in the new year, but he said to expect surgery next year (most likely just a resurfacing, but potentially a replacement). My only thoughts at the minute are "goodbye martial arts career". Probably being melodramatic. But I only got my ankle cast off last week (for my achilles tendon surgery), so my calf is weak and tight as hell. Hobbling around on crutches at the minute. :bang:

 

Well that puts my sore bollocks into perspective. So to speak.

 

Had those well underway even before my trip to the vets.

 

Ceramic. Life expectancy is much greater than titanium. I've never had a problem with it, although I became conservative in my training to increase that longevity.

 

Did they replace your organic ones with prosthetics? If they did, you could say you have brass balls. Literally.

 

Massive grrrrr....why oh why do some of the main lyrics in "Let it go" from Frozen go....

"Let it go, let it go.
I am one with the wind and sky."

????? Eh? CLEARLY it should go "Let it go, let it go. I am one with the wind and SNOW"!!
SNOW! That damn film is called Frozen!
That's what my brain tells me to sing every time I'm singing along and so I get it wrong every time.
Forget world hunger, poverty and terrorism. This needs to change right away. As a priority.

 

My wife just left a camera memory card in a photo machine and when she went back it was gone. With all the photos of our son gone too. Not backed up anywhere. That's it. We've got maybe 20-30 of him on our phones for his first year alive but nothing else.
Absolutely gutted.
People are scum. Who takes a memory card worth like £5? When they know there will be photos people value on it?

 

Can't you just get them to knock you out with the really nice gas? ... And you need to get a better dentist.

 

a patch o' your tongue hanging where she'd sliced through it?








Cor...I'd of had no time for that. A new dentist for certain.

My oral surgeon told me that he was having lunch with his partner, who'd done work on me previously, was complaining that even with laughing gas, my reflexes were such that I'd given him a kick during the procedure and was constantly trying to come out of the chair. They decided on oral Pentobarbital, an I.V. of a hypnotic sedative as well as the nitrous oxide.

I must've whacked him good, lol.

A decent first rate dental surgeon won't put you through what you're going through.

You need a new one.

 

Imagine the day when you're old and need a knew hip and it's all being done by the privet sector. ... You could always relocate a bit further to the north.

 

Wow awesome 2 days yesterday I received an unexpected utility bill for £110. Apparently I have been undercharged for 18months and hey only just decided to tell me. They claim I have received 2 previous letters about this so this one have me 7 days notice to pay before my supply is cut off (letter dated dec16 arrived 20dec). I have seen neither of those letters leaving only a few options
1, they are lying
2, my wife hid/lost them
3, I need a new postman
Not exactly what I needed for Christmas but cheers anyway npower

Today when walking my dogs my lurcher decided to split her pad open (lurchers are notoriously injury prone). Not a bad injury realy (easily managed at home) but requires lots of bandages and antiseptic wipes, neither is free.

We then noticed that my wife split her wellies open at the heel, pretty vital bit of kit if your walking dogs in winter in the UK. Not a huge expense but yet another one I didn't need right now.

Wonder what can go wrong next lol.

 

My cat just had a massive bowel opening that smells like warm car sick, so now I have to get out of bed to scoop it up.

Got a nice stomach bug for Christmas, while travelling. It's so much harder to rush to the toilet when the next one is 40 km away. Feeling much better now, thankfully.

 

That's fantastic news Aaradia, glad to hear it sounds like they're on the mend
