After two weeks in a cast my son just found out he needs a operation on his foot.
Bit of a shock just a simple trip in work he slipped on some mud carrying a electrical panel ! could be some time to recovery.

Shouldn't the doctors have known that right off the bat? Not a doctor, but usually a good check of the X-rays will tell you that.
That is very unfortunate for your son. Look on the bright side, at least it was not you. :)
The foot was very swollen he had a skan on it Friday went to the hospital today.
Remove the cast fitted a support boot went home phone call your seeing a orthopaedic surgeon tomorrow in Gobwen hospital tomorrow op on Tuesday out of the blue.
Damn
That sucks, same happened to me. I guess it’s common to watch how it’s healing and then decide what to do. How long does he have to wait for the surgery. Doc told me he doesn’t like to cut for six months after the break but I guess it depends upon how u are healingQuote:

Then a support boot got to get a wheelchair for him .
Those boots are a pain in the ass I wore one for a while. A definite plus is your son is young so he should heal up relatively wellQuote:

A simple slip shit and a foot with metal in to go with his shoulder.
27 he's like metal Mickey .
How your boy is alright mate and here's to a quick recovery.
I popped something in my hand about 3 days ago while cutting some metal with plyers. Could barely move my wrist, only able to start doing lite stuff with it at the moment. No doctors for me tho, I have no confidence in them what so ever.
Hey Rich your son is a big guy he must have a size 11 or size 12 foot how much metal did they put in there? So you're saying they're going to take it out in 4 months? But he doesn't have any metal in his shoulder does he?
Yes Steve he has some metal in his shoulder in his foot pins and metal plate.Quote:

Not a great week they think I had food poisoning getting over it not right off work this week as well.
Felt terrible out of the blue chaps bough a chicken wrap few hours after need I say more.😱
A chicken wrap is very poisonous. That chicken sits out for too long and also that mayonnaise type crap they put on there the dressings are not always fresh.
Don't eat chicken wraps Rich.
Had to go to doctors for a blood test today my Kidneys are not functioning as they should Steve back to the doctor's for my bloods results and prostate exam Thursday mate not feeling my best at the moment.
Rich take a deep breath and drink about 2 liters of cold spring water. You have to urinate for 6 hours nonstop
Drank 4 liters pissing all day mate .Quote:

Tea counts as your 2 litres water in take per day.
Coffee tea and soda and alcoholic drinks do not count as part of your two liters of fresh water per day
Tea is a human right for people born in Britain. After air and Beer there are not many things more important.
I'm not taking away his Welsh rights I'm just telling him to do some super hydration over the next few days
I jest Steve mate. Hope they get to the bottom of whatever is troubling you Rich.
I know, my friend. Asking Rich or most other British people I imagine to stop drinking tea it's like asking me to stop eating pizza. Beanz buddy about how many cups of tea do you drink daily? I have often heard British people say that putting sugar in tea is sacrilegious. Is that so?
Drinking plenty of water and tea stomach like a cement mixer still.
Off to the doctor's for my blood results today and a prostate exam.
Starting to eat plain food toast egg on toast bland stuff etc lost some weight but feeling bloated .😐
It will all go well,.... What do you mean like cement mixer?
My bloods were good thinks I had some kind of food poisoning prostate okay.
Got to go for a scan on my kidneys and gall bladder just incase I got stones.
My stomach is settleing a bit not as bad as it was more bloods once a week keep a eye on my kidney function that's about it.
Keep moving and being active. You will be OK.
It's never too late to jog. Go for a slow job 30 to 40 minutes every other day.
I have read many times over the past year or two that jogging really loosens up and breaks up any kind of kidney stones or gallstones.
Go jug rich. You have to jug you have to go jog in 30 to 40 minutes at least 3 times a week. Take it really slow with talking about a 15 minute mile. That should be doable.
Just a update kidney function up to 43% getting there slowly still off work.
Starting to feel better the gastric has eased off drink plenty of water.
Stomach not swollen anymore.
we don't have Wi-Fi anymore Rich because the owners moved out who lived upstairs because they lost their house through a foreclosure. So I cannot do anymore Skypes right now especially also I deleted Skype from my Android. I have been trying to reinstall it so we can do a Skype but it's not working. I'm glad to hear that you are recovering 43% is better than nothing. I still think you should go for some jogging man seriously go out to a park stretch for a good 15 minutes and Jog around the damn track see if you can do about 2 miles a day at a very slow pace make sure you make it to 30 or 35 minutes before you stop.
