Haven't moved from bed all day. Got some kind of tummy bug that makes me feel nauseous but without actually being sick. Haven't eaten a thing since last night. God it's a horrible feeling.
I was at a bad Manners gig on Saturday night. The places was bouncing, literally and their tunes are hard to resist. I was bouncing away for the entire time, about an hour, fuelled by a good afternoon session, and expected the worse in the morning. It seems alcohol and adrenaline did their job perfectly. No after effects at all. Slept like a log though.Getting old. While definitely preferable to the alternative it still sucks. In my 20's and 30's I could play football on Saturday afternoon, go out afterwards and end up in a nightclub until 2am and then on to a house party, get up for Sunday morning football, after two hours sleep, and then go out on the beers all afternoon and still be fine to get up and go to work on Monday morning. Now I'm in my late 40's and if I sleep a bit funny I'm in pain for days.
I wonder where you got that from…Haven't moved from bed all day. Got some kind of tummy bug that makes me feel nauseous but without actually being sick. Haven't eaten a thing since last night. God it's a horrible feeling.

Have you tested for Covid. That describes 100% how I felt. I was sick once but spent three days feeling constantly nauseous. It was grim.
Yeah I guessed that, mentioned it in the other thread. Although she was sick three times whereas I haven't been. Would have helped if I was!I wonder where you got that from…
That sturdy adult immune system showing more resistance maybe.Yeah I guessed that, mentioned it in the other thread. Although she was sick three times whereas I haven't been. Would have helped if I was!
I think this sort of thing could be a future time bomb.
Kids are doing so much sport - not necessarily a bad thing - and picking up so many injuries, having operations aplenty and potentially doing long term damage..
I do wonder how may are going to have to stop by the time they're 30 for fear of ending upmin a wheel chair before they're 40..
A bit alarmist, I know, but when I was a kid hardly anyone had sports injury operations.
Kids and parents I speak to these days make it sound commonplace.
Well, I tried to stomach a banana and my earlier statement about not being sick yet is no longer true.That sturdy adult immune system showing more resistance maybe.
See my AvatarI do wonder if there's an element of pushy parents and coaches that are to blame when kids are younger as well.
I played/trained rugby 6 times a week when I was a teenager and thought nothing of it but when I made 1st team at school (which was a very good standard) I started to pick up injuries and with scouts and big games etc there was a lot of pressure from the coaches to just get on with it and play.
Cue me getting to my early twenties and my knee just disintegrated - meniscus tears, snapped ACLs and a dislocation, i played for about 8 months without an ACL whilst i waited for the op. Not to mention my hamstrings going about 4 times in a couple of years from rushing back.
I'm 32 now and my right knee is goosed - dread to think what state I'll be in at 60!
My eldest daughter is 33 now, and needs a new knee. She bounced off the front bumper of my VW van when she was 16 on her moped, her mother said would be a good idea, and broke a chunk off her tibia under the knee cartridge. She had to have it screwed back in place. Now after about 7 ops on her knee, its all about pain management and waiting until she’s gets to an age when they will replace the knee.I do wonder if there's an element of pushy parents and coaches that are to blame when kids are younger as well.

Just bought another 20 old school vinyls when I really should be clearing out…
I think it’s time I stood up and said “my name is Greig and I have a problem…”
Careful, it becomes a problem…In the last month I’ve bought a new turntable and speakers made a short list of funk albums I want as well
Oh Neil, that did make me laugh!In my mind I'm still in my twenties, unfortunately my body isn't. Took my younger boy to football training one day and they were messing about in the long jump pit before it started. Told them I'd show them how it was done. I sprinted towards the pit and hit the take off board perfectly. Unfortunately at the exact moment my foot hit the board my hamstring went twang and I was left in a heap on the floor. Cue much laughter from a bunch of 11 year olds. So, while the mind is still willing, the body is not.
Christmas.
Not feeling it, whole family is stuck for ideas and the pressure to think of stuff for the sake of stuff is getting me down.
We've been struggling this year as well, a 13 year old and 4 year old.Christmas.

Fortunately, my 1994 Technics are still going strong so no need for buying any kit.
I need to give my head a wobble and stay off Discogs
