Still no word from Ken and Yes, I mailed him as well. He hasn't responded to my email... Thanks for all the concern. It all happened so quickly, Ms P got a telephone call from some mysterious 'Committee' There will be an ambulance in half a hour to take him to hospital, no time to arrange anything,...

Don't worry about me I'll be ll right. Just worn out with all the medication that's making me better. As mentioned before my hemoglobin count was hitting minimum. Then it had a surge upwards which buggered up the calculations. This Friday we start again. Another surprise this lunch time a District n...

As far as Blackburn Royal is concerned a trip to the acute care, accidents in old money, is the last thing you want to be doing. An overnight stay would probably be on a moveable bed in a corridor. The staff are run off their feet. Yesterday, Friday, we chose to travel by taxi because of the early s...

Sorry lads its back on your head time. Just as the hemoglobin results showed a decrease with each subsequent blood test Sod's law pops up and shows a Large increase taking them well into positive territory. Doctor perplexed, transfusion put on hold until more samples next week. Being referred to a H...

A planned trip out to Blackburn Royal hospital tomorrow (Friday) for a top up blood transfusion. Technically my blood count should be 80 but is showing 81. Its actually dropping by one unit a day. My Doctor told them to stop playing silly buggers and get it done. The advice was to to get there early...

I suppose you never really get up to speed when everything you read is just so much gaslighting propaganda. The Dad's Army of Conservative sheep are on training manoeuvres. The Baa Baa rubber boats squad kept catching crabs and finished up behind where they had started. The wages Baa Baa Incomes roc...

Thinking of you Plaques and Mrs P. All my best to you. Thank you Cathy. Mrs P Gets very worried about me and its hard work turning the volume down so that it doesn't place too much stress on her. Fortunately we have found an excellent lady Doctor who so far has not made any mis-steps. Probably in a...

Prostate Biopsy Warning not to be taken too seriously but near the truth. Location Burnley Teaching Hospital New Urology unit. Very impressive unit that you feel you could have confidence. New furniture and pleasant staff. Details taken and called into the examination room. Actually it should have b...

Ken if you are A rhesus positive (A+). Drat :biggrin2: sadly the 'vampires' no longer want mine Double drat, :biggrin2: :biggrin2: My GP Hassan tells me my prostate is enlarged but not cancerous. Possibly because there's no lumpy nodules to be felt. Read the next post for a bit of entertainment. No...

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.” ― Omar Khayyám In my case all is not lost. The District Nurse is booked for Friday to give me the first of the anti-Testosterone injec...

Big thanks to everyone for for their kind thoughts. Relatively pain free night, can get to the bathroom and back but it can be touch and go. The diagnosis sounds bad but the longer term is more encouraging. I've got a very aggressive prostate cancer which fortunately is still contained within prosta...

Another 3 AM ambulance trip to Blackburn Hospital for much the reason as before but with the added joy of a 3X pain factor in all the bones and nerves from my head down to bottom of my chest. Repeat of all the blood tests plus the usual statuary checks. Can't find anything new, so take it easy, we w...

While the head chicken is on holiday in America the remaining Cabinet chickens are running around making policy as though they were writing the next Conservative manifesto. 30p Lee is leading the field with his disgusting outburst on asylum seekers. By any measure these locker room comments should b...

Most readers of One Guy will know that Ian (PanBiker) and Kevin (Big Kev) are more than regular donors to this cause. Fortunately for a lot of people there are many others who anonymously give their time and blood to help others. To put some meaning to these generous donations Mrs P cousin has spent...

Rishi Sunak promised to reduce the asylum backlog, the number of people waiting for their case to be reviewed. This backlog has now morphed into 'Residual backlog or Historical backlog. Adjusted downwards by removing people who didn't attend their interview on time or fill in the 'fast track'' quest...

Many of us have diets that appear to be OK when we were young but then as aging sets in what was considered normal be comes excessive. Alcohol and caffeine are the two obvious ones. Unfortunately a quick trip to Google will offer up thousands of supplements of dubious value that will cure every ailm...

As soon as I had posted my Clitheroe guess I realised it was the wrong direction. We get some nice sunsets but most of the easterly directions are too flat to include any hills. So put me down as 'don't know'.

I'll try the far side of Clitheroe looking towards the big end of Pendle.

Close examination shows they have dislodged a plank and are probably now i the barn. We are quite happy for them to stay there.

They must have borrowed a ...Crow bar

The asylum backlog is one of our own making. The Commons select committee say the backlog is growing not because there are more people arriving but because the asylum process has slowed down. Of those who arrived in small boats in 2021, 96% are still awaiting a decision. . Asylum.jpg Note Albanians ...

Have test results taken over completely from old fashioned diagnostic skills? Or am I hopelessly old-fashioned in preferring this more intimate contact. Our much quoted Dr John Campbell has said several times that immediately you saw a patient you had a good idea what was wrong. As I see it the lab...

Oliver Dowden our deputy PM said we should stop talking about the asylum barges then almost immediately Suella Braverman accuses Kier Starmer and his lefty lawyers of sabotaging her asylum plans. Robert Jenrick UK Minister for Immigration jumps on the band wagon and supposedly names the lefty lawyer...

The thing that strikes me David is that I don't remember feeling deprived when we hadn't got the ability to access all this information. Being deprived of the truth and being fed misinformation may possibly be killing millions of people. When industry and governments mislead people to manipulate si...

And on calmer days.

PM Rishi Sunak goes on holiday leaving his private house empty. All this well documented in advance in the media. Stop the Oil take advantage of the situation and cover the the outside of the house in black plastic. Wall to wall media coverage on these vandals that aught to be put in gaol if not dec...
