McFaul

Aye they have, it's still a drip though. The head nurses are great, a lot of them a lot better looking than you would expect! The thing with the morphine is that he was proper hallucinating badly. Honestly if you've ever seen Trainspotting he's had nearly every bad hallucination Mark Renton had the first three days, thinking he lived in a caravan, thinking people are crawling through the ceiling, voices, it's funny when he tells it but he was frightened. Thanks a lot anyway pet. Here I tell you what though, £7 a day for the telly they could easily give them it for free.

' I can empathise Stevie. As you may remember just after Christmas I had some personal shit to deal with. Anyway, just after New Year my Dad collapsed and was rushed to hospital. He had what's known as a 'triple A' basically it's got a mortaility rate of 90%, most people don't even make the hospital. Having some medical qualifications I knew this but had to stay strong (and lie) for the benefit of my Mum. Mind the surgeon was blunt and told us he had less than 50% chance of surviving the operation and then a 50% chance of devloping a life threatening complication. Waiting 12 hours in a waiting room was like being in some sick soap opera. All this just a few metres from my place of work. But you've got to keep the faith. Against all the odds he survived (including subsequent pneumonia) and is now back at home looking the best he has done for years. I've still got a lot of shit to cope with but I'll tell you now I'll never take my Dad for granted again. It's been a real wake up call (not least because I most likely will have inherited the condition!). As Gemmill has said the staff were amazing too. Which is why I get so defensive in debates over the NHS, I guess. I'm sure your Dad will pull through like mine did and he will be the stronger for it. Fingers crossed for you. Thank you Renton, I know you don't respect me but I respect you, and I'm delighted that your dads pulled through. Most of us haven't got a clue about the details of each others private lives, but we're all human beings our emotions and feelings are stretched to the limit every day by the stress life can be at times. I'm thrilled to bits about your dad and what a burden that must've been to keep from the whole family. Me dads situation while very very serious isn't at the level of your dads prognosis yet. It's just heartbreaking seeing him dehabilitated, I go to show him I love him, but I walk out feeling depressed, I did tonight. He's sat there all day fuck all to do, wondering what's going to happen and last night when I went in after the match he was shaking violently, freezing freezing cold, I could see the fear in his eyes, was honestly one of the worst times of my life seeing him wondering what the fuck is going on, when I got there me aunty and me cousin she was in tears down the corridor so what a mental feeling I didn't know what to expect. However on the bright side, there's positive signs tonight, and the nurses said while it's not regular, none of the stuff that's happened is completely unusual.

Cheers wor kid. I've never seen him like this in his life, he's a big strong bloke, it's heartbreaking to be honest and I thought I was hard emotionally till these recent events but am soft as shite. The head nurses are brilliant, they explain everything so well, the nurses underneath them are thick as fuck, I was in there with wor lass and me sister at the weekend one came over and started telling us about the fact that there used to be 3 schools where she lived in Blyth and now there's only 2, I don't know what stopped me from saying so fuck. Even so like they deserve more pay for what they do, it's unbelievable. Aye, the nurses are amazing. When I went in to get my pacemaker in, I stayed one night on the cardiac ward. There was me and five blokes in their 80s in this room. Two of them were on water tablets which were making them piss constantly and they kept pissing on the floor and all over the place. Over and over again. They were obviously embarrassed and apologising to the nurses but the way the nurses responded, you would have thought every time they did it was the first time. "Ohhh don't apologise man! It's my fault for making you take these tablets anyway! Is there any on you? Here I'll get you some clean clothes." etc. Absolutely class. But aye, 5 blokes in their 80s and one in his 30s. Guess who was the only one who HAD to be pushed everywhere in a wheelchair? When me sister had her baby, she was treat like a criminal in a London hospital like for morning about the pain after her caesarian!

Sorry to hear all that Stevie. Best wishes to you and yours that it all gets better very quickly. Thanks CT and Wykiki I appreciate your kind words.

Aye you're right, fuck stiff upper lips and all that bollocks.

He is and I know for a fact he'll get through it. He just needs support, thanks kidda.

Aye everything you said there is correct, he's my ultimate roll model, unbreakable, awful to see the fear in his eyes last neet gan up there now. Thanks a lot, I know loads of you can empathise with how I'm feeling.

Why do you tell lies you arsehole? I've saw you once you seemed to be with your whole family, aunties, mother etc... you were leaving at the other side of the bar as I was getting there, and if you remember I asked you on here if it was you, because you looked too small for what I had envisaged you to look like. I've got no reason to be aggressive towards you, especially as you look shy and timid. I thought J69 doesn't dress like Michael J Fox in teen wolf, and has shoulders like a pigeon does he??!? But it turned out it was you, think you said you were going on that curry thing up Corbridge. So why tell lies? I'm in town every day this week, and I will be Saturday tea time for the match, so you have every opportunity, in fact come out with us on Saturday for the match, they're good lads, I'm probably the least intelligent one amongst them which would make you the least intelligent in the entire turn oot, and I'd welcome you to reiterate what you say on here.

whos that at J69 or me, or both.

Cheers marra. Am gan back up there now

What I love about you is the things you say on here, you wouldn't dream of saying to anyones face. I would stake my life on that.

Seething. If you could ask anyone on this board who would make this post, I could guarantee it would be you. You hate being shown up, but you can't help yourself. As someone who has been a major anti-racism campaigner on these boards down the years, your reaction to this shows a complete lack of conviction in your views, something I find far from surprising. The issue is racism you fucking dick, and a fair question raised on twitter which is why should Paul Wyn get away with it?

Shite mood, me dads operation was full of complications. He'll be in hospital at least a month, was coming out the match last night heading to the pub, was told to come to the hospital, he was there shaking like a leaf white as a sheet, he has a chest infection on top of the bowel not working. Fucking terrible times On top of that the morphine was deein him nee good he was visualising people coming through the ceiling of the hospital, hearing noises, and said he was convinced he lived in a caravan with a group of Scottish people. I've got a season ticket for the RVI at the minute, they're confident he'll be alright, but it's just more complications, and putting a stress on everything else in me life. Nowt worse than when you're family are suffering wouldn't wish it on anyone. When I saw him last night at 430 I told him we beat Villa 2-1 and it just wasn't sinking in at all. On top of that got fuck all money in for Feb, bosses being cunts etc.... I wish February would fuck off already.

What a tit you are. When you analyse what you've said in the three posts so far, you go the wrong end of the stick on the first one and the second you dig deeper, now you produce smileys when you realise you have no point to make. The clear and present Frank Spencer of these boards.

Four people have contacted the police, one of them was a wounded party you fool! I knew I'd be saying fuck off, when I read J69 last post, and I am. Fuck off. The point was raised on twitter what did this mackem say that was any worse than Paul Wyn?

You miss my point you complete doilum! Oh dear. In to that brimming to the top box of J69 faux pas.

If you follow a load of people a lot will follow back. I don't see the point mind, I only follow people who I want to follow. Ah right. Btw, Stevie the grass I'm not the categorical grass, at least 4 people have given their name to the OB, I'm not one of them. He should be locked up for his comments to women alone.

Why not? Cos if a complaint needed making about him abusing Routledge, it was for Routledge to make. And he didn't. Mac Toon is the one who made the complaint, being called a black c, the fact he's white is irrelevant.

Racially abused Mac Toon even though they're the same ethnicity.

you'll probably know all of them

Why not?

First Downs or summik isn't it? I've got no doubt in my mind J69 will know.

People were asking why that mackem got charged and not Paul Wyn. So various people have rang the police and he's going to get prosecuted.

I actually thought the home games were more exciting last season, I really enjoyed last season, we're more solid this season by far though which is surprising considering braun has to an extent been replaced by flair. Regardless what anyone thinks of Ashley they should never let him stop their enjoyment of matches nor distinguish our hope in the future.
