What pisses you off? Part II: Electric Boogaloo

I'll just do what I'm told. Small private hospital, they take details and do temperature checks just to get in and that was before shit went sideways again.

[Morrigu]

^ am sure they will let you know but FWIW our instructions based on DHHS Guidelines is testing 3 -5 days pre admission date.

[stui magpie]

Again, brilliant. I need to call them tomorrow to make sure the mesh they stick in during hernia repair isn't going to literally rip me a new one if I go into an MRI.

[Morrigu]

^ surgical mesh is not a contraindication for MRI so you should be all good. Curious and feel free not to answer - did you investigate non- mesh surgery?

My GP referred me to a bloke, she recommended him and said he wasn't a bloke who went the knife as first option. I trusted her and my opinion of him after meeting was that the guy knows his stuff. So I just go with what they tell me.

[stui magpie]

So yep, need to do a Covid test before surgery. Makes life interesting as I have to do the test 3 days prior to surgery (which would be Friday) and then self isolate until admission. Problem with that is, I intended to grocery and booze shop on the weekend and stock up for 2 weeks. Got some logistical planning to do.

Add to that, cervical CT scan tomorrow to try and figure out why my right shoulder and arm are buggered.

Anyone got a warranty card for a replacement body I can buy or borrow?

Moron drivers, usually tradies in utes or those real dickheads with a ladder on the roof of the family car.

I always park away from people in a car park and yet 99/100 times I’ll come back to find someone parked right beside me. Tonight, there were 6 empty spots beside me and still some dickhead in a Ute parks right beside my drivers side door, damn seriously?

You're clearly a farkwit magnet.

Got the results of the cervical CT scan.

Basically, some arthritis in the base of the neck and some potential narrowing of nerve canals. So the pain is nerve related, but no disc or anything that can be fixed and not suitable for a cortisone shot.

So getting a script for Panadene Forte and pretty much suck it up for now.

Your best bet might be the red medicine, Stui.

[stui magpie]

I'm using the red medicine as we speak. Bought 30 bottles Thursday, that should last a week or so.

Now i know where and what the problem is i can experiment with variations of what the physio had me trying and work out what works, I'll save the tablets for whe i need them

[Sicks Bux]

Idiots who tailgate me in 40 kph school zones. WTF?

Add to that, cervical CT scan tomorrow..,,

A CT of ur cervix is there something ur not sharing? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
