Are you asleep again now.......
No Presidency for Chiz then!
If you have bone spurs, you mustn't be President. I read that here!
Good to hear it went well, wishing you a great and speedy recovery!!
I had the nerve block during one of my shoulder ops; it was amazing. Just had this limp arm for hours which swung around; but zero pain for the first time in ages. Unfortunately it wore off in the middle of the night & I awoke to the worst pain I had ever known. Was almost crying; they must have beat the shit out of me during the surgery.
My arm itself is pretty dead as i accidentally undone my sling and dropped my arm ! But plenty of feeling in the shoulder. I have no doubt though that there will be a world of hurt to come. Especially as ive been prescribed tramadol to take home and that has never done a great deal for me.I had the nerve block during one of my shoulder ops; it was amazing.

Yea, thats what they gave me. I had to be propped up on the sofa with cushions; couldn’t move any which way. But it got better. You’ve got this Chiz
Been awake for a large part of the night, not too uncomfortable just my terible sleeping. Anyhu the cafe here opens at 7 so i thought id suffle up to get a nice coffee instead of the instant on the ward. No fucken wallet.
Went through my bag of possessions a good few times, looked on the floor a d then went to the nurses station. They checked all the cupboards and nothing.
Tbh i wasnt so worried about lossing 150 bucks and all my cards, more that i couldnt get coffee.. so i went out for a vape and when i got back it had been found wedged in the handrail of my bad.
How the fuck it got there i will never work out.
Coffee had im about to go find out was this morning has i. Store and when i can go home.
Next time im in i will just bri g a bit of cash ina pocket, which id normally do but was a bit flustered on tuesday morning.
Staff here are bloody great.

No more morphine for you, Chiz. You're all fucked up.
More morphine for you Chiz you’re not fucked up enough!
I’ve got some good hospital stories but I’ll save them Chiz as I don’t want to piss on your chips.
I like this version better!
Thought for Today:-
When me and Elsie got married, we decided we'd never go to bed angry.
We've been awake since last Thursday
We've been awake since last Thursday
Today is the First Anniversary of me and Elsie spicing up our love life by role-playing in the bedroom.
Her favourite is "The Sexy Librarian", where I have to sit quietly while she reads a book.

Thought for Today 2
Being old is when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go too.

So im free! But not before i was taken to the transit lounge to await disscharge papers and my script.
Ok. The lady that took me was obviously care in the community. First she puts me in an elevator, in the middle and as she was a good 30 stone she then has to squeeze past to get to the buttons. She does this on my injured side and bangs my arm.
Then she is talking to herself ' dont get lost dont get lost", lift stops, she wheels me out and says 'im lost".
After smashing me through a few sets of double doors she finds an orderly who guides her , not for the first time id imagine, to the transit lounge.
To be continued, my lift is here...

So yea we get 10 feet from the reception and she's like "i remember now". I ask if its her first day but no, shes been there for 7 months. Its her only fucken job, wheel people to the transit fucken lounge..
Just for good measure, she smashes my chair into the reception desk ( on my gimpy side), luckily i saw it coming and got my shoulder out the way. "That was a close one" she says and woobles off to find her way back to her happy place.
The 90 year old bird behind the desk wasnt much smarter. I take a seat not 10 feet from her, she saw me come in, we smashed into her desk for fucks sake. She watched me as i took a seat and said nothing.
I gave it 5 and thought id go up and see if she knew roughly how long this would take.
"What is your name and where are you sitting?"
"Chiz and im over there"
"Which seat?"
"That one" (pointing)
"The one nearest us or the window?"
ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
" By the window"
" Its just ive got to log you in and i need to know where to find you".
There was 4 seats only, all empty and all visible from her desk...
Next up was trying to find out how i get let out. The doctor needs to do the discharge papers and write the script. Id seen him write the script earlier and put it with my notes, which this old bird had open infront of her , almost as if she knew i was coming, well, she should have as she sent big bertha to collect me.
So she goes through all the papers, no, he hasnt done it yet.
But i saw it. No you didnt.
You can leave now and we can email docs to you. Unfortunately i needed my script so i could collect on the way home.
Well you will have to wait then, maybe an hour or so as doc is on rounds.
With that she slams my file shut.
And there is the fucken script taped to the fucken front cover...

They are just the same in the UK.
The NHS is one of the world’s largest employers, with around 1.37 million full-time equivalent staff in Englandas of January 2025.
The system is too big to work and needs cutting right back.
People forget (or are too young to have known) that we had a decent health service before healthcare was nationalised and socialised and brought under the control of central government where it has since been run by people who don't know anything about human health, medicine or running a large institution. They only know about grifting and making careers for themselves out of party-political non-work.
Prior to 1948 there were more doctors and hospitals per head of population than there are now and some of the hospitals were founded a thousand years ago.
The left would like us to believe that there was no health care before 1948, or that only the rich could afford it and the peasants died on the streets until socialism saved the day. That isn't true.

Or...effective senior management...there are layers and layers of middle managers who seem to create more havoc than solving any issues.
And the financial side supports rampant profiteering. Just as an example, some wound care products are cheaper at high street pharmacies than what the NHS pays. And more effective items are discouraged from being used if they are more expensive, which leads to extended (and often never) healing...more hospital or home visits etc. False economy.
@Chizel - Founding Father Great to hear that it all went well. Speedy recovery. Take it easy!
