Feeling a bit sick

[Batigol]

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say this might be sorest affliction I’ve ever had. I mentioned it on a call to my dad and he replied “a sore bastard of a thing”

Gonna leave my estate to the Fine Gael party

You at the airport? Find a pharmacist and get a dozen Ponstan Forte tablets to go. *

They’re big oval yellow bastards but they’ll have you right before sunset.

Ponstan. I hope I never need them again.

Is your ear/jaw all swollen? I had some infection a couple of years ago. Ws some gland that I can’t quite rememebr or sprell.

[Batigol]

Yeah both of them.

Feeling a bit sick

Mike. Your Eustacian Tube is blocked. This is essentially an open vent between the back of your throat and your inner ear that acts as an equalising valve for ear pressure. It is lubricated with saliva. When you fly, the ear pain you feel is due to the rapid change in pressure - your Eustacian Tube hasn’t reacted fast enough - and the pressure inside tries to eualise through the Timpanic membrane (your ear drum) hence the pinch. They say you should chew wine gums or toffees just before take of…

In true TFK fashion, cometh the crisis, cometh the expert. All salivary gland issues to @FatChops going forward.

On a more serious note, that sounds horrible. Sympathies.

@Batigol

This is actually incredibly painful. Just for the FYI of the forum

Still very sore guys

Very dramatic events for me lads, im currently lying on trolley in St James’s a&e with a drip in my arm, awaiting the decision if Surgery as to whether they want to cut my appendix out or not.

I’ve had bad acid indigestion and heartburn the past week or more. It wouldn’t go away and medicine hasnt helped. The past 2 nights I’ve been unable to sleep. The pain has consolidated more into my right hand side, which feels like a wound. Went to the doctor today and he sent me here.

St James is a great spot. Only 4 or 5 in the non-covid19 a&e, I was immediately taken into triage. Only arrived here a few hours ago and I’ve had blood and urine tests since, spoken to several doctors, great bunch of lads.

My phone battery will be dead in about an hour and I might be here for the guys of a month so good bye for now

[Bandage]

Good luck, dear INTERNET friend.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Who put that IV in. A mechanic?

@iron_mike had cancer surgery and was posting four hours later. Up your game ffs

Having said that best of luck with the op - no bother to you.
