That's what I have, according to the doctor I saw yesterday. It seems if I was a rugby player I would be told not to play for some months and he said my bang on the head from slipping on ice 5 weeks ago last evening, was as bad as being hit on the head playing rugby!

I don't do things by halves eh?
Have to rest and not drive till I feel ready to, hee hee that will put the kybosh on o.h.'s birthday day out lol two week's yesterday!

Oh Dear Liz


But...Hey ho! If yer Oh is anything like mine....Have a break from it all and let em do the worrying :-))))


Susan with numbers btw....( tis a looooooooooong story and not worth going into Lol )

Hi Susan

don't worry, I knew who you were/are lol

No good me trying to take a break, I would starve to death lol This coming week o.h. is on early shift so home by 3pm every day, and expects dinner cooked. If I don't do it, he will get sick because of the diabetes and my stomach will think my throat's been cut, as he won't bother to cook anything. I love the week he is on late shift for 4 days as I can eat what I want when I want as long as it's before 10pm. That's the week I eat kippers and salmon etc - he hates the smell which gets round the house as it's quite open plan but I don't care, and it fades a little before he gets in lol

Don't worry tho I will milk things as much as I can lol serve him right!

Lizx

Am back.....

I 'ate men! Tsk!


Ja reckon I might get virtually accosted by someone who thinks men are luverly and that I am sexist?


Anyway!....right at this second I ate 'em....so there!


Here wos me...trying to get Oh ter be greatful fer me saving his sorry rotten soul from a fire.....and wot do I get!?.......don't ask....just imagine!.....methinks I shall just leave him there to rot the next time.

all symphony grapefruitly received

Ooooer Missus, here's a big load of symphony, what an ungrateful so and so, but not so much of the 'next time', you've barely got it all sorted, could you really face a 'next time?' You will have to find a different way to get your own back! I am sure you can make him repay in some way, like a dip in the joint account for a nice pressie or treat for you lol

am going to watch a programme I recorded for a bit so back later if I don't doze off lol

take care
Lizxx

Lol Liz....don't be silly now....If He dips into the Joint account....then 'I' Have to pay for it.....Sheesh! woman!


I wish some of our virtual friends were about.....nothing better than virtual unreality :-)))))

nudging this to explain to some who were asking, why I am not about quite as much.

Funny thing, I am getting more compliments just lately than I have ever had from OH. Just realising that my fall could have laid me up for some time, I think. As is, having to make do with scratch meals and shop bread! NOW he tells me my bread is best! And is not so impatient when we go shopping as I am walking with 2 sticks and he can see how hard it is.

Mac, you and I will fall out lol


Jean, I am glad you are being appreciated more, things are no different here, it's as if I never told him what the doc said. I think I will send him the definition from Wiki!
Oops, just realised I already sent them but because he was at work all day Sat he hasn't read his emails. Maybe he will realise why I jumped down his throat a couple of times earlier this evening after he reads this paragraph of the whole thing lol:




The acronym PCS may also be used to mean post-concussion symptoms. Symptoms can appear immediately, or weeks to months after the initial injury. Their severity lessens progressively over time. The nature of the symptoms tends to change over time: they are most commonly of a physical nature following the injury, but tend to become predominantly psychological later. Signs and symptoms such as noise sensitivity, problems with concentration and memory, irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and poor judgment may be called 'late symptoms' because they generally do not occur immediately after the injury, but rather days or weeks after. Nausea and drowsiness commonly occur early after concussion but usually do not last, while headache and dizziness occur immediately after the injury and are long lasting.

Definitely had the irritability bit earlier lol Would this syndrome be an excuse for hammering him over the head with a blunt instrument lol?

Sorry to hear this Liz
xxxx


Take things as easy as you can ...... and milk it as much as you can!


How about a few lady-like fainting fits ..... you know, lying on the settee, hand to head, other hand limply holding a handkerchief?

Judiciously posed, it might get him to realise that there is something wrong!

O.h.'s nickname is Mr Magoo Sylvia as he has a habit of mislaying his various specs, so I am not sure he would notice. On Saturdayevening/Sunday am I left the washing machine ready with all his work stuff, so he could switch it on when he got up, and a list of shopping needed plus some other errands he could do (all as requested) on the way to or from his Sunday am visit to his father, who is 78 and not too well at the mo, altho pigheaded like his son, is insisting on driving about despite having vertigo and other problems.
I was woken by a strange noise for a culdesac on the outskirts of a city, clip clop clip clop, I could swear I heard a horse but had I been dreaming, no definitely a horse, looked out and the moron who lives next door and let's his dog kill shrubs by wetting on them and more, and who leaves his jeep's engine running for ten minutes just before 6 every work morning, had his 16 year old daughter visiting on her horse! First time she has ever done that, maybe it's allowed now she is 16! They proceeded to have a natter under the bedroom window which is always open a smidgeon to get some air in, and cared nothing for the fact I didn't really want to hear their conversation, they seem unable to talk quietly. All the while the dogs were barking cos they could smell B. and her horse and weren't for a change being allowed to run wild in the close.
I managed to doze off again for a little while and was then woken by o.h. bringing me a cuppa. He had put the washing outside before he went to his dad, why I don't know as it was a dank misty day so he got it in again and festooned it over a linen airer in front of the gas fire in the lounge, the only heating in use in this house. He then said Don't come down, I am busy with the computer and other things! Charming! I did have this mad idea he might be preparing a nice meal for later but after an hour when I was starving hungry I had to venture down and get myself tea and toast, and sit among the linen as he had stuff everywhere else so the only place to eat. Even then he moaned about me coming down and no, there was no dinner, he did himself cheese on toast and tomatoes a little while later and then announced he wouldn't want anything more - so much for eating well because of the diabetes!
I ended up having to get myself a quick dinner once I had hung all the washing up in the little dressing room to finish off drying and draped the rest round a small airer in front of the gas fire! Men!
I swear if I was really poorly he would forget about me upstairs and I would starve to death lol
When I asked him if he had read the email I sent with the info about post concussive syndrome, he just said no, I know what it is!
Looks as if I will be fending for myself !

I will get my own back when he least expects it lol

Hi Purple, You're as bad as me. I have had tennis elbow, footballers knee and basket ball players tendon injuries to the ankle tendons. I consider it unfair that I have had these and am not a sporting person not played any of them. Ever thought of taking up rugby, you may as well earn the injury. Elaine. May not be able to come back as I only get 1 crack at the reply button. Off to see my friend in Spain Friday and if there is sun there I will bring you all some back.

Hi Elaine, nice to hear from you and sorry you have so many sports injuries lol Enjoy the trip to your friends and any sun you can pass on will be oh so gratefully received, I am so fed up of this dank gloomy weather.

take care,
love
Lizxxx

p.s. we had both forgotten that o.h. has to have a mole removed from his bald head today, he isn't sure what it entails and I am not able to drive him to the docs and back so he is having to make his own way there, what a shame! I did say that he would probably have to have some anesthetic injection in his scalp or something and he couldn't quite figure that out, he hates injections, bet he is nervous at work this morning lol Serves him right, I shan't be very sympathetic. The mole has appeared over the last couple of years so I made him ask about it, he would have ignored it. He rarely wears a hat or suncream in the sun and has no hair on top to protect his scalp. He's a bit upset that it will leave a scar but better that than skin cancer, the idiot! He keeps saying he is having his brain cell removed, as it's popped out of his head, I wonder how near the truth he is lol

Funny how its so hard for them and should be easy for us, isnt it!

Liz

I've had moles removed from my arm ....... one was basal cell cancer, two others were not cancerous


However ............... I bet he'll come back in a state of fainting etc etc.


Not only is the area anaesthetized by injection .................. but they cut the mole out!

:))))))

OH had a mole removed from his arm, no anaesthetic and it was burned off, no scar.

Ann, I am surprised the mole being burned off, it must have been obvious it hadn't grown into anything nasty, as I think they usually cut under it and take it for testing.

O.h. came back with the mole cut out and cursing cos he should have had the stitches out on 5th Feb, his birthday so he said no and made an apptmt for the following Monday, meaning he would have to go to stay with his son with the stitches and scab all showing, no dressing on there so he is worried he will knock it at work. I have suggested he changes the apptmt and gets the stitches out on the morning of his birthday while I am getting up, how long will it take for heavens sake and it's only 5 mins drive to the surgery!!! Or the day before even, Oh no, has to be the time the doc said, says he! Must have been his one brain cell under there that they removed lol
I suggested he gets it covered while at work as he works in a dusty environment. He swears he always had the mole but I know he didn't, I cut his hair often enough and just shave over the front with one of those electric hair cutters, well I do it all over but the shortest at the front as there is nothing there and I have watched the mole appear as a very dark brown one over the past two years. He seems worried it will spoil his good looks, what a dope! None to spoil! He says if I hadn't nagged him to get it checked he wouldn't have bothered and wishes he hadn't had it done! Told him to wait and see after it is checked, if it was cancerous he will be glad I nagged! Stupid man! I suppose he is upset as he is only 5'5" (broke my long time rule to never go out with a man shorter than me and boy, am I paying lol) and most people can look down on his scar lol Anyway he calmed down after a little while and seems ok about it now.

As usual I was expected to cook dinner while he sat and recovered, wouldn't have hurt him to order a pizza in for a change but he seems to think I can carry on as per usual. He doesn't lift a finger once he has done his packup for work next day.
Then he is asleep in his recliner chair till it's time for bed unless he wakes up to watch something he wants to see.

Purple, I do hope you are not always serious about what you say about him. If you are, move heaven and earth to get out of there. Life's too short.

Sorry I only just got back to you, I was so shattered I went to bed. My oh has been havin loads of tests and got the all clear yesterday from one consultant, he has to see the renal bloke tomorrow. However, as they have not sent for him with any urgency I am hoping for a good result. He has milked this for nearly 4 months saying how ill he is. Ive had a chest and kidney infection for a month but still went to work, cooked and cleaned and taken the dogs out 4 times a day. I am sorry for your oh but I bet I'm not half as sorry for him as he is for himself. (not all men are wimps I hasten to add). Will send you the sun as soon as I get back. Elaine

Jean, sad to say, I do not jest!

Elaine, typical of the man to think he is really ill but you can soldier on, when are we going to win a fortune and tell them where to go lol I am glad it sounds as tho there is nothing serious with your o.h. and hope it continues, you dont' want a real invalid strung round your neck lol

O.h. decided he wouldn't wait until the Monday after his birthday for the stitches to be taken out as ' they might have embedded themselves in too far' (what were you saying about wimps Elaine lol) Therefore as he insists the nurse said they have to be in for ten days and not nine as they would be if he had the stitches out the day before his birthday, he has taken an apptmt for 2.50pm on his birthday - around the time he was born so rather appropriate lol, but means we won't be able to drive far for his birthday day out !! It will give me more time to get myself ready and we can go somewhere local for a walk if it's nice or do something else if not, and then have something to eat out and back in time for him to prepare for his visit to his son the next day. There is a God !!!!!!

I am still feeling very tired, and spending almost all day in bed this week, getting up to cook a meal and wash up and that's about all. I am not sure if it's the chronic fatigue syndrome, the fibromyalgia or the post c. s., probably a combination of all three and the cold miserable weather. Roll on next week when he is at work in the afternoon/evenings and I can use the phone and do what I want and not have to cook big meals, just have what I want!
