Great news on the results Adrian! I was wondering how you got on. Might not see you in here for a pint tonight then if you get lucky!

Cheers Ian.


I can't lie lads.


If today was a footy match, the result was:


Stella Artois 7                 Invicorp 0


🥴

Bloody hell mate, it would have taken me more than an invicorp after 7 wife beaters, even before the op. Good effort!

Hi Ian.


Other events, apart from almost a gallon of Stella, scuppered my Invicorp plans. My daughter and grandkids visited late afternoon and stayed for a couple of hours. She wanted to give me a "You're beating cancer" cuddle.


Incidentally, the grandkids don't know anything about it. When we went swimming a few months ago. They noticed my op entry scars. I told them they were bullet holes from when I was in the Army. No wonder I'm their hero. 😂


Anyway just after they left, one of my wife's pals 'just popped in for ten minutes' to discuss women's problems. Three hours, and two bottles of wine later, she left and staggered home. Mind you, I can't criticise ladies spending time dicussing their problems when I spend hours every week on here discussing ours.


By the time her pal left, Invicorp was the last thing I needed. 


This is the problem with injections you need appropriate times to fit them in. It's probably why I've stockpiled. There are so many packets in the fridge that there's hardly any room for the milk, but at least it seems to stop the celery from wilting.


I've got enough Invicorp left to give Moby Dick a stiffy. 


Rant over.


How's your incontinence issue going? As I said at your stage I had very little control of my bladder. It took me a good 6/7 months to be pad free.


I've noticed, for the last week, or so I've not had to get up at all during the night for a pee. Admittedly I have very little to drink after 7pm. I have a wee before bed, about 11pm, and wake up about 7:30 am, then dash to the loo before I pee myself.


In fact my bladder is much better now than pre op. I hope it continues. Unbroken sleep is the key to happiness for me.

😆 Yeah, I went to the grandkids primary school sports day and was told there are no winners or losers. What's the point I thought.

It's terrible, you're not even allowed to trip up their opponents or 'question' a close finish. 😁

Busy start to the day. 🙄


Just reported two posts containing gaming links. 


Their new ploy is to put links into other people's posts quoted in their own.


I don't what anyone using my posts, they're already full of enough rubbish.


I'm surprised that the site allows people to edit other users posts.


We do seem to be getting more bogus posters.

Good work Adrian. You deserve a virtual pay rise for your efforts 🤓


I've had a busy start too, just finished plastering a wall in the downstairs loo. My first time and I'm quite pleased with my work, even though it would probably make a professional plasterer weep.


Another moment of joy is that a road that I've been driving has now been resurfaced! I've spent the last couple of years dodging potholes and patches of poor road surface. I don't have to swerve like a drunk driver anymore. Result!


Cheers, 


Kev.

Hi guys. Thought I’d check in as I’m sitting watching sailing and now track cycling from the Olympics. 
Still suffering with bloated belly and pain at the top LH side ( stomach ? ) . I’m on Lanzoprazole as prescribed by the chemo dept plus peppermint capsules and then just added Gaviscon Advance as advised by the chemo dept after I phoned them. It’s very uncomfortable and painful at times. I’ve even given up alcohol and just have zero alcohol wine and beer. 
Still getting the tiredness and weak legs but gotta take all this if I want to hang around for a little while yet.


Picking up oldest boy and his missus and the little lad on Thursday from Luton. They are here till Sunday and we are up at Tottenham Saturday for a friendly against Bayern Munich. 


Kev I tried plastering many years ago and I couldn’t even get it to stay on the wall. Luckily one of my oldest friends is a plasterer… ! When he does a wall it looks like glass… 


Take care guys, 


Phil

Hi Phil, 


I can't imagine what you're going through, it must be quite an ordeal. Keep fighting mate, you're amazing!


I'll keep an eye out for your family's flight as it'll probably fly over my house on its way in to luton, just ask them not to flush the toilet 😁


Have a great few days together.


Cheers, 


Kev.

Hi Kev. I just re read my post and it does sound like a good old moan 🤣 … just thought I’d check in with how it is but got carried away ! 


I went out this morning to get a stair gate and get petrol and ended up falling over the kerb at the petrol station. I think I might need a bloody walking stick. Grazed my knee , cut my hand plus a few (more) bruises. I’m just not safe on my own… 


 


Ill get my boy to wave out the window of the plane. 😁


 


Take care 


Phil

Hi Phil.


Yesterday, after a few bevvies in the Club, I stumbled on a dodgy pathing slab whilst walking to the railway station to get home. I was carrying a tray of fish cake and chips. The fish cake was the only casualty. If it hadn't landed so close to some dog excrement, I'd have attempted to revive it.

Adrian I can picture you hoovering up the fish cake… I really like fish cakes too. We had fish & chips from our local Tuesday . I had Rock and chips. Always lovely from there.

Hey guys..


Were you injured tripping over dodgy paving?


Call our injury lawyers now!


😁


We'll have to set up a virtual A&E as well as a virtual pub at this rate.

Dodgy paving slab. That old chestnut eh? Nah, honest, I must have had a dodgy pint 😂

If we have a virtual A&E, after the success of your downstairs loo walls,  I presume you'll do the plaster casts.🙂


Talking about getting plastered. I'm sure that if I claimed for the dodgy pavement, the council would rebut it with CCTV evidence of my state of inebriation. 😁

I'm happy to give it a try, I reckon I could plaster a broken limb to a sheet of plasterboard. Should be a reasonable surface for people to sign their get well messages. 


Cheers, 


Kev.
