[X15]

Sending positive vibes to you and your Mom @Cuddles !

It's always a big deal, even if the intervention is minor, not very invasive, for someone who never experiment any surgical act. Psychologically, even if it is made to get a benefit, to gain in comfort, it can be perceived as an agression.
I took some time out to think about that, because I am gonna to have a double jaw surgery, and.. I feel incomfortable just thinking about it ( It's incredible what they can do, but more incredible is the way of body fixes the "damages" caused by surgery - it reminds me a bit of me and my plants when I do some experiences with ^^ )

Anyway, I have stocked plenty of CBD buds to smooth, kill the post op' pain, and, maybe enhanced wounds healing ( making tea, infusion,.. )

To all those who will have to go through any kind of surgery, hold fast (!)

IN the beginning I was trying to stay positive for you and your mum. I am glad she is feeling better and tomorrow is another day, so I'll await your reply. A little levity...

There once was a story about a man name Jed. Scratch that wrong story!

Guy goes into hospital to have his left leg amputated. Halfway throught the operation the nurse said doctor, we are amputating the wrong leg. The chart says left, not right. They were to far gone... So for health reasons, the left had to go, leaving the patient with 2 stumps

He tried to sue the hospital and doctor... It was thrown out of court because buddy didn't have a leg to stand on.

Current on Global affairs, the world has turned into an unrecognizable cesspool!! (not just on the medical front)

I Skype with a m8te every Monday from the UK, and yes Gypsy, I got an ear full on the NHS. If it is any consolation, the same applies to Canada God knows what the future will bring, having lost our family doctor in Jul '22. I recently cut my finger pretty badly. It could have used a couple of stitches. My wife says, do you want to go to the hospital? I said no thank you, it is full of sick people, and by the time they see us, the dermis will be dead, making stitches useless. Applied first aid to myself, as I had steri-strips in my survival pack.

Eyeballs on the other hand are a totally different manner... Your mum's in my prayers.

Yeah time - sometimes lots of time Cuddles - the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is probably worse than it's ever been these days - and I was recently told that I'm needing heart surgery due to something awful called Mitral Regurgitation - so the heart has to pump harder to move blood - due to a leaky heart valve - that doesn't make a perfect seal - because the heart strings have been stretched or broken - so oxygenated blood leaks back to the chamber it was pumped from - leading to dizziness often - and other associated psychological and physical problems - so I'm now aiming at 'getting on the long list for heart surgery' - after a thorax CT scan - and that's gonna take a whole lot of time before a heart surgeon goes anywhere near me old Ticker - due to the NHS being so fucked-up lately - and having waaay longer waiting lists for surgeries - than its ever had -

Your Mum seems to be on the mend - which is good news - yes - it all takes some time -

wow, that´s a serious problem too. How are you feeling, in general though, can you cope? Is it possible to get the surgery abroad somewhere?

So NHS workers are still on strike? I wasn´t surprised to learn about the strike at all, it was just a matter of time. Just when will MPs learn that nurses are worthy experts who deserve to be able to buy their own food and have a nice place to live?
I hope they manage to get better pay very soon. Fingers crossed.

It can be very hard to get an appointment with specialists, no matter which one. And then when you do they turn out to be rubbish in many cases. There are tons of doctors but not enough decent ones

Thank you

You know this story really happend to a man in London once! But I´m not sure how it ended. I think he got compensation --?

I cut myself all the time too. I always put emu oil on it and it heals very quickly

I´m surprised that things are bad in Canafda too. I always thought that Canada does rather well. But we don´t get to hear much about life there over here. (One reason I like being on a forum - you learn new kind of information )

No country is immune to the chaos that we are experiencing, by design It seems we are being ruled by folks who have escaped the sanitariums. <--- at least it would be an excuse.

 

[D. B. Doober]

Hope she gets better Cuddles! I love my momma too!

lol but what kind of an excuse do people have who keep voting for these morons? Another problem is certain people who own media, newspapers etc. they keep playing with us...

 

[CosmicGiggle]

Glad your Mom's getting better Cuddles.

I have my good days - and ones that are not so good - I always thought that getting a bit dizzy every now and again - was alot of fun - before - but now the dizziness seems partly to be determined by the angle of my body - so if I bend over to feed the cat - or to pick something up - it feels like I'm about to lose consciousness - gravity has definitely something to do with it - so not getting the oxygenated blood to the brain necessary - due to the dodgy/leaky heart valve - so it seems -
As for being able to cope with it - guess so - because I have to -

I've known that I could get vaporized in a nuclear war for most of my life - and coped with that - so I look at the increased chance of cardiac arrest - due to my current condition - and deal with it as a threat of sorts - but no worse than the prospect of global thermal nuclear war - whose likelihood I have lived under - since 1960 - and if I can cope with that - etc

Perhaps I should try and seek faster treatment - and a quick operation - elsewhere - rather than having to wait for an unspecified time - for even the chance of getting on a long-long list of those waiting for heart surgery already here - on the NHS -

May well be that would a viable option. It has long appeared to me
that those behind big pharma here in the US, have targeted the health
systems of Canada and UK with the idea of "converting them" to
a "for profit" healthcare system.
When one looks at the cost differences, that is not a good idea for anyone
but the investors of that particular form of health care.

maybe you can try in Ireland or here on the continent? Did you not mention that you used to live in Holland? Too bad UK is not part of the EU anymore, things could be a little simpler. But if you have insurance for going abroad... ?

maybe you need to find some different strains to grow to control those munchies, lol

I talked to my mum today but she says there is not any real difference rom yesterday but her eye is less red than before.
I´m trying my best to talk her out of her second surgery appointment which is suppose to be next week thursday.

 

[Cuddles]

It's always a big deal, even if the intervention is minor, not very invasive, for someone who never experiment any surgical act. Psychologically, even if it is made to get a benefit, to gain in comfort, it can be perceived as an agression.
I took some time out to think about that, because I am gonna to have a double jaw surgery, and.. I feel incomfortable just thinking about it ( It's incredible what they can do, but more incredible is the way of body fixes the "damages" caused by surgery - it reminds me a bit of me and my plants when I do some experiences with ^^ )

Anyway, I have stocked plenty of CBD buds to smooth, kill the post op' pain, and, maybe enhanced wounds healing ( making tea, infusion,.. )

To all those who will have to go through any kind of surgery, hold fast (!)

jaw surgery? ouch. sounds like you may have trouble chewing food for a while afterwards, oh dear.
As for wound healing - I use emu oil for everything. I know I mention it a lot but that´s because I´ve used it a lot , lol

Any particular brand/flavour? Flavour being rhetorical.

It never rains it pours doesn't it dear. If it was me, I would wait until the operated one is better (healed) before I would even think of getting the other one done while the other one is still recovering. Then again... this s all based on the severity of the issue, and to attack the elephant in the room, how long until a re-schedule? Bzt, Bzt, Bzt...

That's a classic 'standard of care' issue, especially in most western countries. Why they rarely replace both knees at the same time.
