Happy Friday

Punks

 

Back atcha Geeks

 

Woke up last night felt like I was being stabbed in my ear with a red hot poker,got some Ibuprofen and went back to sleep,woke up and I'm pretty much deaf,I'v rented Cinderella man a boxing movie with Russel Crowe I just hope I can hear it

A nice quite Friday

 

Sounds like an ear infection - if so, you need antibiotics to clear it Rikky. Get yerself down the docs

 

Yeh I'm an expert at ear infections had a mastoidectamy when I was 10,they take a load of infected bone out of one ear which left me with less than 40% hearing in one ear,its always getting infected,cant put my head under water ect.ect,the other one is my workhorse and thats the one that got infected only the second time it has but its pretty scary cause now I cant really hear anything

Usaul cure is a course of amoxycillin and otosporin drops,if it aint cleared up tomorrow I'll go to the walk in centre and have the nurses go over me

 

Excellent movie. Turn on captions if you have trouble hearing it. Hope they get your good ear sorted out.

 

Thanks GT and lev It only lasted for 3 days last time but scared me enough to go to hospital,my bad ear gets infected nearly every year and that can be a real pain to clear up sometime the infection can last for two months while varying treatments as the infection and my body become tolerent of the medication

 

Thank heavens it is Friday! This week has dragged so much, and I've been so tired! Now I have the luxury of an extended weekend, 3 days off, and I'm going to make the most of them! Sleep long, eat well, play games and have fun!

 

Would be better if they was hot student nurses

 

@ Rikky, sorry to hear ( no pun intended ) that mate, but do let the nurses give you the once over

Hehe I hear ya blades

 

It is finally here, everyone have a great weekend.

Steve

 

Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend, folks!

Sorry to hear about the ear infection, Rikky. I'm half deaf in one ear as well, so I know what you mean when the good ear packs it in as well!

@ Bluesy:- Back at ya, punk! Hope the wife and kiddies are doing well.

 

Hehehe I wonder why we always fantiasize about nurses and firemen! I once went to a training course for fire fighting at a training camp for firemen, and all my girlfriends were green with envy! http://members.chello.se/solange/smileys/jump.gif

 

Well, I used to BE a Nurse for a while, which is even more scary! http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g309/Zobor/fear.gif

 

Rap rap. All better now? Sorry about the funeral; hope it wasn't somebody near & dear to you.

No 3 day weekend here. We rotate working Saturdays, and it's my turn in the office all day. (shrug) Holiday pay is nice, & still get two days to crash.

 

Sorrier still that it WAS someone close. Those are painful, no matter how many of them we've participated in. But sounds like you've got the "Carry On" part worked out. Hope today goes as well as it can.

Haven't heard anything current, although I'm aware that they're pursuing that, which would be much nicer than getting pumped full of poisons to fight it. LOL. Last I heard it may be a while before that is useful and useable, but it would be the ideal way to deal with cancer.

 

Yes, I might. He stays really current with what's out there, and what might help me. For now, what I'm on is the best of what's available.

Trials I generally take with a grain of salt. Those are as yet unproven, and most trial groups split 50/50, with half the group (the "control group") getting a placebo instead of the drug under trial, which is a bit more of a crap shoot than I want to try at this stage. But we're always on the lookout, and at some point I may get desperate enough to roll the dice.

 

I think this is the trial you were talking about. Promising stuff, although not targeted at what I have, but nowhere near ready for prime time. Was good news for two patients, but the other 15 died. Trials are generally the last hope when all other hope is gone. I'm still maintaining well, so am not ready for last grasps quite yet.

Will do my best to stick around. Wouldn't want to miss anything.
