Got an email from seakeeper today re registering product, at the same time got rushed in under blue lights for internal bleeding. Not looking good for testing new boat at this rate, off to Addenbrook's next, beginning to run out of options, hey ho.
 
got everything crossed re internal bleeding - I'm sure the Docs will think of something.
You will get to give the boat a good thrash soon.
 
They put a camera down but would appear problem is further down, just seems like one step forward & two back at the moment. Even the consultant said he cant believe how unlucky I have been.
One thing for sure, Southend hospital is somewhat different to the London Clinic.

I really sympathize with you. I only had a minor stomach ulcer but had enough of being poked here and there and having tubes put down my neck after one day!

Still, I couldn't fault the NHS so I hope you get better soon.
 
Sorry to hear your news. Keep your chin up and think about that new boat
 
chin up, my colleague recovered from Crohn and he's back to work after 3-4months in the hospital, god knows how many operations, 2X in IC (10days each) and a year and a half of ins and outs...
Nasty thing, but you'll be on top at the end!

cheers

Sorry to hear that, P.
Be positive, you MUST get better pdq, with the new boat waiting for you to bring her out!
 
Rubberduck is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

“Nurse,”‘ he mumbles from behind the mask, “are my testicles black?”

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know, Sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”

He struggles to ask again, “Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?”

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.

She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other.

She looks very closely and says, “There’s nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine.”

Rubberduck slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, “Now listen very, very closely: Are – my – test – results – back?”
 
Purely as a distraction and possibly a bit of mischief when you are feeling better:
True story by the way
My Grandfather was in hospital many years ago for some ailment
Every morning breakfast arrives with a glass of fruit juice
Every morning Sister (whose a bit bolshy) comes around and checks everyone has drunk their juice et
Grandad decides to play a joke.
Next morning breakfast arrives with a big glass of apple juice, which he promptly pours into a glass bed bottle (thing you wee in)

Some time later Sister comes around checking and spots the wee bottle full of fluid
"is this yours?"
Yes sister
"its a bit cloudy"
is it sister - let me have a look
So Grandad holds the wee bottle up to the light and peers through the hazy liquid.
"You are quite right, I tell you what I'll put it through again that should clear it up nicely"
Where upon Grandad much to the horror of the Sister and the amusement of his fellow patients, drinks the whole lot down in one go.
