Pussies ... try coughing and sneezing after open heart surgery ... now that's an experience
No thanks mate.Pussies ... try coughing and sneezing after open heart surgery ... now that's an experience
.....you're welcome.No thanks mate.
I'm just surprised he said 'after' and not during... whilst riding a nurse at the time
You're on top of your game mateI'm just surprised he said 'after' and not during... whilst riding a nurse at the time
.You're on top of your game mate
Just jokes for fosse, I can only imagine what I'd be thinking or feeling before going into that let alone after.
Just watching Paul Hollywood in Japan and got me thinking about the 9/11 debate on here earlier ... just showed a panoramic of Hiroshima after the bomb... flattened 5 sq miles and killed half of the city's population ... 140,000 people died ... ****ing hell

I was watching him try the Tofu before I switched over lol. It looked rank tbf.
I didn't see the part on Hiroshima. The number who lost their lives is only part of the story sadly. Those who survived and the effect afterwards on them, bloody hell.
They've got nastier things now......like viruses.My other half was telling me about some sort of virus bank and how small pox wasJust watching Paul Hollywood in Japan and got me thinking about the 9/11 debate on here earlier ... just showed a panoramic of Hiroshima after the bomb... flattened 5 sq miles and killed half of the city's population ... 140,000 people died ... ****ing hell
wiped out but they still have it in the bank...
You'd do it mate, coz you have no choice really ... the first 2 weeks after were undeniably rough... I came round to find a towel rolled and wrapped in tape on the bed. Nurse told me that it was normal to develop a cough after due to all the anaesthetic and gunk that doesn't drain (had 3 drains all under the sternum) ... the towel was because they tell you that you must cough it up ... the towel is for you to hug to your chest to cushion the force and limit the pain ... used a large sofa cushion once I got home ... the morphine helps but, by Christ it is ****ing painful

Brought back some awful memories reading this one. *shudders*

Respect mate and I'm glad you made it through it all ok
I have personal experience of someone who had a tumour the size of a tennis ball in a cavity directly behind the heart. At first they thought the shooting pains in the legs were sciatica until properly diagnosed. They had to do a biopsy and went in through the back. I saw the pain afterwards and coincidentally when coughing. And that was just a biopsy. So I can appreciate what you're describing must be the worst thing ever. And knowing everytime you're about to cough, what's coming!
Yes mate. Not heart surgery but major open surgery with a 15” permanent reminder.
I picked up a chest infection after the op, and remember the taped up rolled towel far too well.....horrendous, truly ****ing horrendous.
I raise my glass of a nice Italian red to you sir ... it is difficult to describe how it feels but those that have been there will never forget those aspects, for sure ... you also wonder of you'll ever get your strength back ... thinking of Joe now ... but you do ... and you also learn to appreciate all the little things in life that you probably took a bit for granted
Has it been diagnosed as sciatica?
If it's affecting your feet, that can be a slipped disc.
