Surgery today!

[Karloff]

I forgot to mention, an ex-girlfriend (tall gorgeous RN that was a complete psychopath who I spent 5 months of pure hell with in 2011) had her gall bladder out and since then, her farts will strip paint. Nay, they will do more than strip paint. They will melt the layers of paint on an object, mix the colors together, and re-coat said object with the new shade of gray and with a highly polished baked-on finish, all before your very eyes.

 

The visual effect of these emissions from her nether region is not unlike firing up an acetylene torch and you haven't turn on the oxygen yet....so there are little particles floating in the air. Little flakes of...something.

 

I can't comment on any effects after the first 20 or 30 seconds, as I typically lost consciousness at that point. Once I woke up, she was on her fourth beer and her cell phone needed to be charged.

 

HAHA !!

 

best post in awhile. classic . wish I could give you more than 1 like ... ( I too had a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend , 25 yrs ago. she was completely insane)

yep.......I with Doug,, this is hysterical...

[Rabs]

Yes as others have said. Good luck with it all and I hope you have speedy recovery.

[Guest Farnsbarns]

Thanks for all the kind words. Seems I survived. Slightly sore but a nice warm morphine haze.

[Megafrog]

I hope all goes well and you have a quick and successful recovery.

[tx-ogre]

Good luck Farns. I had my gall bladder removed in 2001 after my problem being misdiagnosed for 16 years. Once it was removed, problem solved. Simple procedure with a quick recovery.

[AndyK]

Best wishes to ya, Farnsy boy.

keep in mind...smells are particulate. so when you smell a fart, it's because something from someone's butt just went up your nose.

[Tman]

Wow Charlie I am sorry to be late to this. It's done by now. Here's to a speedy recovery! Best to you mate!

[Guest Farnsbarns]

Good Luck. Say goodbye to fried foods. I have a few friends that have had their Gall Bladder out.

 

Apparently only a fairly small percentage have that problem long term. In the early days though a fatty meal goes straight through.

 

Tman... Thanks, and thanks for the info you sent me.

[Digger]

I went through this all last year, I was hospitalised 6 times. The local surgeons mucked me around for a month and by the time they took my gall bladder out it was almost putrid. I just had to keep going into ER with the pain, nothing else I could do!

 

Morphine is about only thing that touched it when it was at it’s worst.

 

I feel sorry for you going through all that and believe me getting the offending organ removed is a huge relief.

 

I ended up back in again for 2 weeks some weeks after with the same pains and in the end ditched the local clowns and went to a private hospital in Melbourne. They fixed me in a morning...what a huge relief! I still had a gall stone in my bile duct blocking it which caused hepatitis and pancreatitis. You get pretty sick with all that and I was rushed to ER by ambulance (my first ride)

 

I hope sincerely that it’s a straight run for you, and odds are that it will be.

 

With all that behind me I haven’t looked back and reckon it was pulling me down for some time before I got the first pains.

 

I hope your recovery is as successful my friend.

Good news lad!

 

Hope the rest of your recovery is smooth and easy. Rest up! Surgery is still Surgery... nothing to take lightly..

[MichaelT]

I'm glad to hear everything is alright. Now, no more posting while under the influence of morphine. Who knows what you'll post then! :) Seriously though. Glad you're doing well.

I have shared that exact statement with people. It’s no wonder I have no friends. :D

I've been having attacks for 2 and a half years. They only worked out what it was a month ago. Unfortunately I also have IBD (probably crones given range of symptoms but undetermined as yet, could be ulcerative colitis, all under investigation) so the symptoms where mis-atributed. Been ambulanced in 3 times in recent weeks, arrived under my own steam once and arrived by ambulance with the first attack 2.5 years ago, thinking I was having a heart attack.

 

When my gallbladder was ultrasound scanned, between attacks and as far as I was concerned, feeling fine, the radiologist said "my god, you must be in agony" so I gather it was a mess.

 

Tman, would it be a radiologist who did an ultrasound? I guess it's probably a specifically trained, specialist nurse in reality. Didn't seem as technical as say MRI, x-ray or CT.

[badbluesplayer]

I'm glad you're doing o.k. Farns. Best of luck on your recovery.

[Karloff]

great to hear !

(Well I'm not Tman, but...) I had an ultrasound scan last week and at QA Hospital Portsmouth, Ultrasound & X-Ray are the same dept. I imagine that's common in NHS hospitals.

 

I was shown the screen and the nurse was able to identify the precise position (by touch) of the injury in detail. I was very impressed!

It'll be a Radiologist who interprets the exam. Typically a technologist who performs the exam.

 

 

Very best to you and here is to a speedy and more importantly, complete recovery.

[Black Dog]

Yep, here in the US the scan is done by a tech. the images then interpreted by a physician.

 

In the UK, I don't know, but likely similar.

 

The really important thing is the physician who decided to order the test because they suspected the disease. Without that nothing else matters.

[Guest Farnsbarns]

Funnily enough it was a doc in A and E (ER) who ordered the test about a month ago. For about a week I thought I could forget the crones hypothesis but then I saw my GP again and he said he thought I probably had crones as well as gallstones and pancreatitis so that was a bit of a blow. The gallstones presented by far the most difficult symptoms in the short term. An acute condition, let's say, where as crones is more chronic but will have a bigger impact long term, of course.
