Guess who's off to hospital?

Just in from the after having the most awful stomach cramps over the last 3 days. He reckons i've got appendicitus (probably turn out to be wind knowing my past performance)

If there's not an amusing story to come out of all this i'll eat my hat.(Perhaps that's what caused it in the first place, that flying helmet and goggles was a bit chewy i thought)

More news later.....

best of luck mate, let us know as soon as you can what the verdict is.

Well send news when you can Air. Hope it's not too serious. And how will you cope in hospital with no internet

Take care mate

c x

here's hoping it's nothing.

Hope you feel better soon.

Get well soon

Don't forget your

See you soon love

you make me laugh

but on a serious note I wish you all the best

Just got back, nothing to eat or drink for 9 hours, and looking like a pin cushion I've been prodded in some very unusual places today, and the considered opinion is........they don't know.

It's most likely NOT appendicitis, but there's something odd going on. At home now pending more tests, and with a fair supply of tablets. No work, but no alcohol....that's ironic isn't it?

Feeling quite a bit better now though.

Thanks for all the concern gang.

Welcome back Air, barium meal x-ray I'll wager, welcome to the pills and potions club.Good you're back ok for now anyway.

Thanks ST, you still feeling chipper mate?

I'm really not too bad now, like i said before, it'll turn out to be hot air.

Err, chipper may be stretching things somewhat, been up since 3.30am, had about 2 hours kip this afternoon! i can confirm I make zombies look good though.

That's got to be a nightmare. Lack of sleep is the worst, makes anything feel worse. I just had one night of no sleep and it sent me scuttling off to the , you've had it for ages.

Just nipping off for tea now mate, be on later

when i had a touch of gut ache, had some fresh fig's and then late had a good fart! end of bad guts, but what the neibours thought when the plates came off the kitchen wall.........

'strolls in wearing a gas mask'
Hey Air, i always said you were full of hot air!!

Glad your feeling better m'dear

You can whip off the gas mask now Venus (although it is rather a fetching pink one) No warnings as yet on the shipping forecast of localised gales in the Oxfordshire area

Lolling about in me dressing gown today and rattling with tablets, but the tummy seems to have calmed down.

Just as well too, as i'm doing a charity underground ride on Tuesday. Me and two mates from work will be attempting to visit all 274 staions on the London underground in a day, raising funds for a local playgroup.

I was supposed to be going with them last year, but had a slipped disc. missing it again with appendicitis would have been unfortunate to say the least!!!

You should be nicknamed accident on legs!

And i broke a toe playing hide and seek with the kids last year. So it was more like 'Accident on LEG' actually.

dear oh dear oh dear...

how do your family cope?

It's been a lot better since they had that padded bedroom built for me. The one with the foam rubber furniture, and crayons for doing my letters to the hospital.

I think everyone's a little accident prone, it's just that i've got a few peoples allocation.
