A few months ago I had an ongoing rant about my back ache. Doctors give you pills. Physios push and pull you about. The pain has spread to a stage where I can no longer walk sleep sit or stand without pain.\ Doctor has me on Panadol Osti. Up to eight a day, plus LYPRALIN. Three a day. There is something seriou...

I have just been diagnosed with Intermediate PC. It is contained in the "P" (had all the checks) Do I choose Radiation or Surgery? Surgery is to remove the Prostate completely. Your comments and advise would be greatly appreciated. Regards. Hetho.

Well, I'm at the emergency room . This day has kinda taken a turn for the worst. I got the chance to go horse back riding, something I haven't done in a while. Big mistake. I got on the horse and started out slowly, but I got C0cky. So we started going a little faster and before I knew it, we were going as fast as...

Yea, it's the last rant! This time I received a letter telling me that I have to go and get a bone density scan, in Perth. 1st of April. (Seems fitting) May 30th, and I get to see the surgeon who did the work on me! 2 years and 20 days after the op. Again, a trip to Perth. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel. I d...

No, this is not a mad rant. It's not a cry for help, and I'm not being melodramatic. I'm not into the Facebook, or Twitter thing. Just need to tell about it In hospital 10 of May, 2017. Out 24 of May. Cost a truck load of money. Apart from the other stuff, the paperwork told me to MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! within a few...

I have posted about this before. However, I recently caught up with my neighbor, Colleen, who helped me back in 2011. She helped me fill in the gaps. I had just moved my m/bike onto it's back leg. Within a second, the pain in my lower back almost brought me to tears. I visited three local doctors. They eith...

For those who don't have or want 240 volts. We each have an Oral-B 2 x AA battery toothbrush (bar code 4210201822233) It is not as good as a 240 volt one, but it's about all I have found that is reasonable. Batteries last for weeks but we are using rechargeable & have a 12 volt AA charger. When cleaning t...

My father was given 120mg syringes of Clexane in hospital. The same dose is available at the pharmacy, but is not on the PBS. However, doses of 20mg and 100mg are covered by PBS. So, instead of a single injection, he injects himself twice, and presumably the taxpayer pays more for this inconvenience. D...

I'm a bit of a boring old fart. Non smoker, non drinker, and have never touched drugs. I live in a small motor home, which manages to get me to virtually anywhere in the country to do volunteer work.
