Feel really bad for My Dad. He's been hospital since last Tuesday. He had an abscess in his gum that spread to his glands and tonsils causing his face to swell so badly that his airway was compromised. He's had an emergency operation this morning and is on huge amounts of anti biotics. His diabetes has complicated matters and the doctors reckon he'll be kept in until next Friday. There is also the possibility of some nerve damage to his face.
It's really upsetting to see him with drips in both arms and a tube to help him breathe. Puts things into perspective. I wish I could help him, he's in so much pain and he's a tough guy, he can handle pain so when he says he's in agony, things are very bad.
Yeah it's been a bad week for him!
Any more news on Roy?
I hope that he is Ok and please pass on my regards.
Going to hospital to see him tonight, hes being kept in for a few more days. He's had a tacheotomy and also has a bag on his face which drains the pus from where the abscess was. Pleasant stuff. The infection seems to be dying down but hes still unable to talk and is breathing through a tube which is upsetting his sleep and his eating obviously. Will tell him you were asking for him.
Glad you're better matey.Hi Guys, I've only just seen this!
I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I've just seen all these posts and best wishes so it's appropriate that I'd address those here and Yes, I'm a lot better thanks, nice to be home, but goodness, I can't believe how low my energy levels have dropped!
If I go out for a walk with the dog & Susie for an hour I'm wiped out! So now I'm being taken away to Tenerife in the sunshine for a break, which it appears will give my throat an opportunity to heal properly as it's not quite there yet.
But at least I can speak and do stuff.
Again thanks for your best wishes and Mr Lemon, I did indeed man up. Nothing hurts me anymore, yards of plasters being ripped off hairy chest several times, hairy arms, hairy legs, 37 different needles including 8 into the soft palate of my mouth, and all of the rest of the stuff...
Thanks guys.
What? Who? Where? When? Why?
