Medical Note

[Keith]

One of the main advantages of living a solo existence, is I'm the only one (bar this forum) who can tell me what's wrong with me apart from my part time GP (don't ask)

Following an absolutely lousy 4 weeks which I mainly put down the weather and my COPD, I fear I now am suffering heart failure - as 100% of the symptoms are in place.

So, I will pack a small bag tonight to be on the safe side, and get an emergency appointment with a GP in the morning.

The reason for this note is, that if they send me to the funny farm I will not be around for a while. I have an iPhone but it's hopeless on 3g. PM me your cell numbers with country code and everything, and I will keep in touch that way.

(By the way, thanks to the magnificently incompetent way that Apple and Microsoft operate, I tried to synch my contacts in Outlook and wiped the whole fucking lot clean. That's 50 years of contacts)

Hopefully it won't come to that, but I know when something is up, and something IS up.

A demain...

:stunned: Good GRIEF, Keith!!!!!!!!!!!! :stunned:

Sooooooo sorry to hear that - BUT(!) - the GOOD NEWS IS you've caught it before anything 'hit the fan'. Given THAT, in this day and age, you'll be just fine. :2thumbsup:

'Adding you to my prayer list anyway!


(Edit: If you can, given what you explained above, maybe you can have someone else post updates here FOR you?)

Keith I'm hoping for the best health wise for you. Re your contacts they will still be on your hard drive somewhere. When you are up to it employ an I.T. Person to recover them.

 

[Terry Oxandale]

Hope they allow you to stick around! I'd miss the wit and subtle charm of your posts.

Just had a word with him. If he needs anything I'll drop it in. He had an ECG today and shortly they will xray his chest.
In the mean time, he thanks you for the messages.

[Jim Rosenthal]

Get well soon, you will be missed here by all the rest of the sociopaths in residence...... and if you want a real doctor, grab your O2 tank and fly over here and I'll find you a room at Hopkins.....I still have some acquaintances there.

As one who has suffered the indignity of having there chest attacked with a chainsaw, [and the right leg] you've done the right thing, hope all is well and don't worry.

cheers John

Anxiously awaiting an update..........

While I am sure your anxiety is significant, this is Keith's heart thread, perhaps you should start your own prostate thread... Oh sorry, I see what you mean...

Hope that joke brought a smile to your face Baron Hardy


Tim.

 

[Keith]

Oh it did Tim, it surely did :evil:

Hey Mark and all - thanks for messages. Really really appreciated, I know this sounds like a big fail but when I'm banged up at home - this is my only chat line. (Except when I'm Mandy an 18 year old Sophomore on a Spring Break - show me your tits Barbie and I'll show you mine.. no no... you first sweetie really :laugh

Special mention to David, who, having just returned from Dartmouth volunteered to drive down to me and bring me stuff. What a guy!

I have replied at some length on another thread..it shouldn't be too hard to find as WWIII is about to break out again amongst the usual suspects.

I, however, have decided to remain neutral and make political capital out of both sides - a bit like Sweden.

On the other hand, if the battle wanes, I shall creep in and stir things up.

'Tis the Paddock when all is said and did....

That is all.

Thanks again everybody for your kind words - it ain't over but we are in a better place than yesterday

 

[Robert May Eng.]

Bob

 

[Steve]

Two's enough. Keep the rum flowing my friend and get well

 

[Larry L.]

- it ain't over but we are in a better place than yesterday

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God for that! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

...And pass the ammunition, matey......

As far as your doctors go, only believe the ones who look healthy themselves. Tell the sick-looking ones to sod off, please. And for any physician who shows up in a wheelchair....

...tell him, "Physician, wheel thyself"..............

 

[Keith]

Well thats good news, seems like Kieth is firing on at least two cylinders.:thumbsup:

Bob

[Robert May Eng.]

Sorry "Keith" that will be seven more cylinders to go then:thumbsup:
