Hello everyone,
Thanks for the inquiry, Neil is fine, he had all the tests and scans and they showed that for a person of his age he is very fiit and well. He has to use a "puffer" twice a day, he has had one for a number of years and only used it occasionally, he is now under orders for twice a day, two puffs and rinse your mouth out. They call it preventative medicine. He has had a stress test and passed it, then a chest Xray and his lungs are fine. They thought his "attack" was probably caused by reflux and some stress. He no longer takes aspirin every day as it may have irritated his osophegous!!! Incidentally I probably caused the stress.

He has to rinse his mouth because the prevent-er is a steroid and it messes with the mucus membrane of his mouth. If Neil is like Mr Yamada who doesnt get asthma just a wheeze every now and then he needs a kick. I have seen people get chest pain from stress and reflux and I thought they were having a heart attack. Stress can do that. Asprin can cause stomache ulcers as well.

That's good news Wilma. The puffer will give him thrush if he does not rinse his mouth out. Do you think it was stress from when you had your op?

Hi Miss Linda, and goodonya for starting this thread. 🙂

Thanks for the info on the puffer. I'm like Mr Yamada and need it once a year or less but I never knew to rinse my mouth out afterwards.

I'm fine and we're baby sitting Zara tonight. She is teething and really out of sorts which is most unlike her. Mum should be here soon but she really hasn't had much sleep. 😞 OH is doing his bit with her now so I think I'd best go give him a break.

Wilma, great to hear Neil is doing well and I hope you are also.

Hi Mon,
I seem to be really good in the legs department, can do 2 k's on the exercise bike at about 15km.s an hour with a little pressure and my legs are fine, everyone is very happy with the results.
Got new glasses this week, seems I am growing a cataract on my left eye, not much to worry about, guess when it is a problem they will just take it off.
Have been having a problem with my feet and legs swelling, had to have a kidney function test before they would prescribe fluid tablets. Started a low dose Lasix, seemed to be doing the job. Had another kidney function test, it is an ouch result, my function, which has been about 50 for a while dropped from 49 to 37 in 2 weeks since I started the pills - no more pills, another test next week and hopefully it will have improved.
I'm getting to the stage where I don't want to go to the doctor, they always seem to be finding things wrong, just get one thing fixed and another one appears.
Think I should just sit on the beach, eat crayfish, drink red wine and smoke a pipe, well maybe I won't smoke. ]:)

Will you be doing that when you are on holiday.

If it was me I would be doing all you said,even the last bit LOL.

Re: How is everyone?

wilneil — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 11:43:07 GMT

Well I certainly plan on doing at least some of it. We are heading to New Zealand on March 1st, we are going to Tahuna, a little place near Hamilton, we stay with long time friends. Neil will shoot the NZ Clay Target Championships, we come back to Brisbane on the 14th. Will go to South Australia - hopefully - then my brother and SIL in Bendigo, Neils brother and SIL in Shepparton and then Wagga for our National titles, we are away for about 6 weeks and perhaps a bit.
Will catch up with some of the Boardies and relations and friends, will be a bit busy as we only have 2 weeks and 4 days from getting back from NZ until we need to be in Wagga. Just maybe we will have to miss out on SA and there will go the beach, crayfish and some red wine. Will take the laptop so I can keep in touch and you will be the first to know if I find the very elusive black koala, or maybe some new Seccombe.
Wilma.

Hey Wilma, you're selling my first 'real' camera! It was my pride and joy when I it bought duty free in Fiji back in 71. 🙂
It was nicked when we were robbed in '91. 😞

hehehe, we can ALL get SMACKED together then - a group smacking !! :^O
Need something to cheer me up at present. Long story - but in short terms - only 6 working days left until OH goes on combined annual / long service leave of 28 weeks and retires !!!!!!!! He has NOOOO plans - just thinks that he's going to "potter around" here all day every day and keep ME company. X-( ]:) X-(

Re: How is everyone?

I'm sure he's related to my OH. :^O

Still drives me insane even after 3 years. Probably why I work 9 hours over two days a week. I loved being at home on my own before he retired. Oh, yes, he's got hobbies - growing orchids, looking after his parrots and playing games on his PC - ALL at home. :_|

Re: How is everyone?

wilneil — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:33:05 GMT

Just bet you are looking forward to having him round 24/7, just think about all the together time you will be having. Breakfast in the breezeway, lunch out by the dam, dinner by candlelight, that's as far as I am able to go without being banned.
You/he will be surprised at the amount of things he can find to do round the yard, particularly one as large as yours, could keep him busy (and out of sight) for days on end.

Hynes he needs a really, really big shed.LOL... My hubby can no longer play in his shed and I am accepting condolences........haha

Re: How is everyone?

grannyfrogsmith — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 02:47:42 GMT

You have "fun"ahead of you Hynes,get him interested in your hobbies in a slow but not noticable manner.

If that fails just take yourself off as normal,he will get used to that eventually.

grannyfrogsmith — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 02:56:58 GMT
