What a week!!!!

[Redwood]

Well, where do I start?

It all started with 14 holes of golf last Saturday, which I enjoyed despite the weathers attempts at sabotage (although it did win in the end). Saturday evening arrived and we'd just put our daughter to bed and I was looking forward to a nice glass or red with the missus when i started to get bad back pain, more precisely around my left kidney.

I went to the local medical centre after the pain got much worse and ended up in A&E in Barnstaple after been given 10mg of morphine and a brief ambulance ride. Managed to get the pain under control and spent the rest of the week to and from doctors and xrays etc to find out I had kidney stones.

To cut a very long story to only a long one I'm writing this post from my hospital bed in Barnstaple after being admitted on Friday and having an op to place a stent in the urethra just below the kidney to prevent a blockage by the stones that would have caused kidney failure.

All is good now (apart from blood coming from wrong hole) and hopefully I will be returning home tomorrow and playing golf next weekend.

Ouch! Hope you get well soon. I guess if there is some comfort to be gained it is winter and not much golf to be had. Better now than in the summer I suppose.

Erm, yeh.. thanks for that, I'll continue eating my tomato soup now

Get well soon... snog a nurse for me

At least the missus brought me GM and Golf World yesterday. Normally she has a hussy if I buy both.

Well you know how to have a good time don't you!!

Get well soon and I hope you don't finish the mags too quickly!

 

[evahakool]

Hope your better after your op and back playing soon Women say giving birth is more painfall than kidney stones!! Why do they exaggerate everything

What hole is the right hole for blood to come out of? x

 

[Redwood]

A ha, good point John.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not good and hope you feel better soon. Don't get back on the course too soon or they'll be another Homergate

 

[Imurg]

Could there ever be "another" Homergate?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Give it time - bound to be something similar at some point (£5 says I'm slap bang in the middle whatever its about!!!!!)

As you lay in your hospital bed, you'll have plenty of time to think - to re-assess your game - read all the instructional tips in the mags - to plan how you're gonna come out fighting You know it makes sense

Get well soon

[Redwood]

Golfmad, you're right. I'm already thinking if ditching my 3 wood for a 5 wood.

 

[Golfmmad]

I've decided to not bother with a 3wood as I've never been able to hit one very well. Find it a lot easier to hit a 5 wood.

What can I say? Sounds terrible and pretty scary.....get well soon, we'll all keep our finger's crossed for you.

There are indeed some (currently unsubstantiated) rumours that Homer may in fact have been the other man in the Woods relationship. Police are investigating the bleeding on Tiger's lips and cheeks and are calling for the dental records of Mrs Woods and a Mr H J Simpson.

At least it wasnt TG, what a pile of pants that mag is.

Hope you get better soon.

Hi Lee,
Hope you got home safe and sound and you get well soon.
Don't rush back to the course. You don't want to spend christmas in hospital ?

 

[Redwood]

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Just waiting on some blood results to make sure the kidney is functioning properly and then should be off home, with any luck.
