Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2008Back for tea and sympathy?
Before posting this I had a look on the Google Group archives to see how long since I lasted posted on this NG. It was 2002 would you believe. Doesn't time go fast when you're having fun! Since then I have developed "arthur" in knees and hips along with a long standing arthritis of the neck And just to add to the mix, and to keep the Doctors happy as they just love variety, I've got a moderate to severe Hiatus Hernia. My arthur is Osteo, and the only treatment I can take is painkillers as I can't stick the non-steroid type of drugs. On a happier note, anyone hear from Connie recently, or has she disappeared into the canal system on her new boat? Do you still do the quiz night or has that died the death? Pete - good to hear from you again. Nope, it's all gorn quiet in here these days. I reckon that's probably your fault, and if you give me a few hours I might be able to cobble together some lies in support of that statement. Connie's absolutely vanished, bless her and hope all's well. Maybe she can't get interweb access on that there boat? And we quit the quiz because basically everyone here is a bit thick.

But that was back in a previous existence. I retired from the CAB a year or two back. I'm sorry to hear that the group is almost defunct. It served a very useful purpose as I remember.

I do use a power wheelchair but can walk, albiet >painfully, for a few minutes) I can't comment on the anaesthetic but I have a friend who recently had both hips done in the space of 6-8 months and she says the results were miraculous - so if you can bear the surgery and the recovery then it's well worth doing. My friend was in a wheelchair but now she gets about with a stick and she's got a real spring in her step. :o) Chris R. > I've been looking in for some time, seemed to 'cliquish' for me to > post, beside being mostly (it seemed to me) about rhumetoid [sp] [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > (='.'=) This is Bunny.

Hiya Kay - I had my knee replacements done with spinal anaesthetic, with a little sedation to make me sleep (not general anaesthetic and no intubation). I woke up during the first op, but not the second. It was a great way to have an op - the first one was better as the sedation was quite light, but despite me talking to the gasman before the second op, he gave me a lot of sedation and I didn't feel too good that time. The benefit is that you don't feel too much pain immediately afterwards, and you don't feel ill from the anaesthetic. The spinal itself is nothing to worry about (I thought it would hurt but it didn't). Nice to meet you.

Been slow to respond, a few days activity always leaves to too exhausted to think (the painkillers don't help either) I have arrange to see my doc next week for a discussion about possibilities. One of the problems is that the last two consultants I saw were of the opinion that the improvement in quality of life would be too little to warrant the risks involved in major surgery, however, the last time I was told that my pain levels were half what they are now. As there are other complications to consider it will take a bit of research and a lot of questions from me. I do have an endoscopy every year, just a day job with a small jab to make me drowsy and drop off, not unpleasant at all. Kay (\__/) (='.'=) This is Bunny.

Are we cliquish? I hadn't noticed, so I guess that might mean I'm in a clique, maybe. Thing is, I do tend to address my inane drivel to the same few people, but that'd be because my infantile sense of humour doesn't tend to go down as well here as anywhere else. So, I niggle the same folk all the time and wait to see if anyone's up for joining in. Outside of cyberspace I'm in no way cliquish: I might have more friends if I did, strangely enough. So, if the place is a bit cliquey, that'd be my fault. Sorry, didn't mean it.

What I will do, is to post a message on the canal boating NG. If Connie is still boating you can bet she is online. I'll try and flush her out that way. As to Andy, I just don't know.

Sorry, didn't mean >it. Hi Alan Don't think apologies are necessary - friendly banter is always preferable to the alternative! ;o) Also, it is human nature for friends to chat with each other and to be less likely to open up chats with strangers. We realised that we had a similar issue with my local wildlife club. To that end we made sure that the "old boy's & girls club" (aka. the committee) knew that it was their duty to keep the society fresh by welcoming newcomers and keeping part-timers interested by bringing them into chats as much as possible. It takes some effort to remember more names and faces (and remembering daft stuff like where they went on holiday, what their hobby is etc) but if 'the usual suspects', for want of a better phrase, put in a bit of effort then it can really help the group grow. Our wildlife club has grown and grown since then and winter slideshows are selling-out :o) Best wishes, Chris R. >> snipped >> We're so quiet in here we're almost extinct Peter. I remember you.

I have lurked quite often, but didn't really want to post. I've got breast cancer, so all the OA matters were suddenly less important. I'm having my left hip replaced for the third time on March 25th, which will be my 14th general anaesthetic in 11 years. I will endeavour to post as and when.

Splodge is right - sometimes real life just takes over. Whilst I look in every day just through habit, I can go weeks these days without posting anywhere. It isn't that I don't care, it is because other things are pressing for attention. Jayne > > I'm glad I recognised you Peter.

No, your memory is A1 Peter! I do work in a Camping and Leisure store! Up to 36 hours a week now, which if memory serves me is roughly.... full time. I never dreamed 7-8 years ago that I'd be able to work more than 12-15 hours a week again, but here I am. Mind you, I have a huge pile of ironing, the bathroom is in need of a clean...... Need I say more? LOL! Jayne >> Jayne, I've been racking my brains over a little niggling memory about >> you, or at least I think it's you.

LOL! hrrmph. you should see our place; i have to do the cleaning on account of linda's eyesight. (actually, she's quite happy with her cleaning, but i'm not.) so, what with one thing and another, the place has hardly been cleaned since the beginning of january. it's not simply in need of a clean -- it's sometimes difficult to find one's way for the piles of dust. my ex (who's a retired social worker[*]) has suggested we approach an organisation that used to help her clients, back before she retired. the problem is, getting things to the point when one might invite such people into the house :-( [*] and we remain on good terms. linda refers to ex as "the other part of my harem", which puts it a bit more powerfully than is actually reasonable, i think.

You feel you have to get things a bit ship shape before letting someone else do it? Our problem is 2 messy boys, a hubby who doesn't care, and ratty bad tempered me, who explodes about once a fortnight and everyone runs round frantically picking up their stuff. Then I allocate jobs and the cleaning gets done. The other time my house is spick and span is when my mum visits. I keep a basket of ironing for her to do when she gets here so she doesn't go poking around looking for something to clean!! (I didn't inherit her houseproudness? Housepride??)

I have two carers who are not allowed to do any housework or attend to personal hygiene matters. I can no longer reach below the middle of my shin to wash my feet but they say this doesn't come under personal hygeine so I can't have help for that. I can't vacuum, change my bedding or curtains and the visitor who came to assess me says that because my flat appeared neat and tidy I didn't need any help with that. I do have decent and helpful neighbours who do favours for me, however, I shouldn't have to rely on them. As I'm on Pension Credit I shouldn't have to pay full rate (if at all) for a home help.

A lot of CAB's will do home visits, and if not then ask for an appointment and explain that due to your illness/condition sitting for long periods, i.e. waiting to be seen, causes you great pain. Try that, and if that doesn't work how about the other agencies. i.e. Help the aged. do you qualify for that? The Arthritis charities? Were you in the Armed Services? Then how about SSAFA? You just have to try each and every organization that might be able to help you. Try 'em all and don't take no for an answer.

Then I tried to hold my clubs and cart up without touching my clean white shirt to put them in the back of our van, and tore the muscle in my arm. Didn't know it until I teed off the first hole, and thought I had torn my whole arm off. Resulted in a torn rotator cuff, and an end to my golfing.
