gordon s Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Morning all. Sorry to read you're having a tough time of it Dom. Sadly you just have to roll with it as the world goes on around you. I guess that's one of the things I have learned when I've had to face the loss of loved ones. It was as though I was in a parallel universe and watching people from my own world. Try and keep positive.. My knee surgey has been cancelled. They are concerned about me taking so many pain killers already and their impact on the analgesic calculations. Makes sense to me.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2011 Morning All, Vacation day for me today but nothing very exciting. I have to show my face at two public inquiries into planning applications in the town. Both affect me so I have to do my bit as a nimby. By that logic then Gordon you will have to spend 6 weeks in agony before they will do something about either your knees or your back! How does that work then? Hope they sort it. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Gordon. Its going to be a pain literally, but far better than the alternatives if they screw up the anaesthetic / analgesic. Been there done that. Both my ankle surgeries ended with the analgesic wearing off far too early. I also woke mid way through my appendectomy. Not pleasant.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2011 Morning all. Clear blue sky and sunny here. I've been busy tidying up downstairs. I mentioned to my wife that the bank manager was coming for a chat today and I was told to tidy up. I assume she meant the lounge and not my appearance! Dave, I've never been a Nimby but last year I was a Nimfy, as it appeared that our road was due to become the designated parking for a development at a local school. Gordon, It is a pity they can't do all the operations in one go. Matthew was a caesarian birth but Aditi didn't want a general anaesthetic. The calculation for that choice was affected by her height, they thought she was too short for an epidural anaesthetic. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's interesting, Tony. My Wife had an epidural over here in the 'States yet she is just 4' 11" (she says she is 5') - no one mentioned small mass (she is petite too). Best, Pete.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2011 There will be another one leaving the Mid-Atlantic coast on Thursday too.......................... Best, Pete. Cheers Pete We're gettting a bit fed up with North America's second hand weather. Morning All Not so windy today, thank goodness, I'm stuck at work now until late PM and may not manage to get on when I get home, as I've a lot to do tonight, unfortunately.

trisonic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi, Stewart, trust you are feeling well...... Well, second hand is better than first hand - officially we have had 68" of snow in total so far this year................Some parts of Connecticut have received over 80"!!!!!! Best, Pete.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's interesting, Tony. My Wife had an epidural over here in the 'States yet she is just 4' 11" (she says she is 5') - no one mentioned small mass (she is petite too). Best, Pete. It was mentioned as a problem but once the anaesthetist had had a good prod at her back he decided her spine was fine. My wife too claims to be 5 foot but probably is a bit shorter. Her sister is 4' 10". Aditi was thirty-nine when Matthew was born and her medical notes described her as elderly and of short stature, though one of the consultants said he thought she was quite tall, he was the same height!

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2011 Cheers Pete We're gettting a bit fed up with North America's second hand weather. Though without their Gulf Stream it would be rather less pleasant here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's right, Tony - we can always see about turning it off.................... You been to Niagara? The falls virtually disappear in the middle of the night. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The falls virtually disappear in the middle of the night. Best, Pete. We didn't see Niagara on our US trip but I'm sure we will one day, I'll make sure to go in the daytime! I went to Ireland years ago with a colleague and she wanted to see some famous waterfall. It had been turned off as it was a weekday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Evening All, We had a lovely afternoon here - blue sky, and warm (for the time of year!) I took advantage of the weather and went out for a bike ride. I'm glad I did - I even managed to snap a picture of the sunset on my phone. Not the best of quality, but I didn't have my camera with me, unfortunately. I really must get into the habit of always taking it with me. I'm just trying to get myself sorted out for a trip tomorrow. I'm off on a quick overnighter to Rome. I am aiming to travel light - but there are some things that you can't manage without!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2011 I just learned my girlfriend's grandma passed away in the afternoon . I believe I'll be staying at home tomorrow and the day after that, in case there may be anything I can do from this end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2011 I am very saddened to hear that Dominik My condolences and thoughts go out to you, your girlfriend and your girlfriends family at this time. The best thing you can do now is support your girlfriend and her family and it looks as though you are doing this already. Had she been ill for a while or was it rather sudden? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Sincerest condolences Dominik. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 8, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks, Jam and Robert. It was a rather sudden occurrence, as it would seem she had collapsed while making purchases in town yesterday. The funeral will be on Friday, so that'll see me in the Saarland. I'll go and get a train ticket tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, safe trip down to Saarland Dominik, and have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 9, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2011 Morning all... Slight frost outside, but the sky is clear and the sun is coming up. Thank you all for your kind words, it's much appreciated – and it is strange how the sadness appears to come and go like waves. Have a good day everyone...
