Perverely Sainful Bight Rollock

[WalksWithTurkeys]

Thanks!

I was on ESTU last night thinking that last Christmas I was in hospital with a spiral fracture from knee to ankle and not wanting to miss it again!

I had gastroenteritus recently, it always happens when I'm off work.

What is it that you eat at home you don't when you're at work?

It can be caused by a virus picked up from others e.g. by shaking hands with an infected person. Maybe when I change jobs, the shaking hands at interviews causes the squits just before I start the new job? Or maybe it is diet, I wish I knew.

I often get ill when I'm off work: I put it down to getting run down, and your body subconsciously gives up when you don't have to go in for a week or so.

Could be. The thought did occur to me.

Went to MRI today. Ended up there all day and got home about 8pm.

I went to the drop-in sexual health clinic and had to wait a few hours to be fitted in as they were fully booked.

Well it is Manchester!

Had the full gamut of tests plus a rather probing (pun intended!) quiz of my sexual history.

Will find out in future if I have Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Hep B or HIV.

I waited for the results of the urine test and urethral swab test which surprisingly did not show up any infection.

The Doc arranged there and then to send me to Radiology for an Ultrasound scan as in the absence of infection, she wanted to eliminate other possible causes for the pain. I collected a script she gave me for antibiotics on the basis that there may be an infection that is not showing up yet.

I went to Radiology and the on-call radiologist scanned both testicles and then my kidneys and, aside from a small case of varicocele which is on the left side, not the right, everything seemed well.

I was then sent up to the Emergency Surgery and Trauma Unit to see the SpR in Urology to review the scan. She gave the old boys a severe mauling (ouch!) and proclaimed everything OK but basically suggested the pain may have been caused by "intermittent torsion".

So, I have to dose up on painkillers and antibiotics and if the pain worsens, go back to A & E immediately.

So far, it is still mad sore but a little less so.

I'd recommend a bilateral orchidectomy.

I was going to say keep your pecker up but probably best not to under the circumstances.

OK, so I'm not yet an old fart but I feel like one....

I get a pension

I have a bus pass

I wear hearing aids

I have painful joints

I get a flu jab


Well, I recently had this year's flu jab and have come down with something. It started with a nose like a tap, a cough and a general feeling of flu and stuffiness.

Now I have a Peverely Sainful Bight Rollock.

Could it be part of the flu-y symptoms?

I am already taking codeine, ibuprofen and paracetamol and it does not seem to make much difference.

Cheers, guys.


And Mods, please delete the same thread in Jokes Archive.

It's not that funny and I have no idea how I mistakenly posted it there!!

Pension ? You're a year older than me I seem to recall.

I was wondering about that too. Give my regards to Dianne.

To all ye who either skip-read stuff or missed the many posts about it, I have retired due to ill-health.

Cheers, JB! No doubt I could do it myself with the meat cleaver!

Ahh ok fair enough, hope things go well. Personally starting my second life after my first one (financially) was taken away. All the best SS.

 

[securespark]

Cheers, Eddie.

I hope you have the capacity to build another life (financially) without wearing out your human capital.

Talking about a meat cleaver, that bloke Hawkeye predicted this in your eBay thread, something about ball ache for £13.

It's voodoo I tell thee.

Thank you.. yes going good but you are painfully close with the Human capital bit... I have to work away all week which has its major downsides.

 

[securespark]

It does indeed.

While I didn't work away, I did big mileages on top of visiting 8+ customers a day.

Working in areas like Birmingham, Nottingham, East Yorkshire and Staffordshire means I was often topping 220 miles a day, getting home late and being too knackered to be of any use to anyone. All the while, the symptoms of a lot of the conditions I was later diagnosed with were there but not recognised.
