Renton 17935 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Since you ask.... 1. My brother (some of you know him, Stu, Lanky Bell Wipe) has had worsening hearing and balance problems for the past 5 years. He's been almost totally deaf for a year or so at least and last weekend his balance got so bad he couldn't walk. Wheelchair for him since then. The docs have always said they couldn't halt his worsening condition, but following an MRI earlier in the week they have found an aneurysm, and we're hoping something can be done. He's been in ST hospital all week and is waiting to go to the RVI to see a neuro-surgeon, so fingers are crossed. 2. My mother who has not been able to leave the house in 3 years and has been in hospital for 2 months is due her 3rd (and hopefully final) operation soon, so fingers are crossed. 3. The property that they had joint ownership of, which I was lumbered with managing as an empty money drain, and which I asked for advice about on here 2 years ago when it had already sold at auction but could not complete, is finally off our hands completely after a long and infuriating legal battle. Money going into their bank today. Been laughing with the family that most people would see our current situation as bloody depressing, but it feels like we're coming out the end of a very long dark tunnel at the moment.....touch wood with fingers crossed. Christ, good luck HF. Just goes to show how much shit people have to deal with behind their alter egos. Fwiw my life was in pieces earlier this year but now couldn't be better.

My life couldn't be better otherwise tbf....completed on our new house last week, getting married in 4 weeks, off on a month long honeymoon after, then time to start making babies it's all coming together nicely all at once with all the improvements in the above situations...hence "reason to be cheerful".

Being able to find the good side and look on it is a hugely underrated ability. Good on you, and all the very best to your mam and your brother.

catmag 336 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 One of my patients last night was an Eastern European lady who, due to complications with pregnancy, ended up in theatre. She and her husband spoke very little English and her husband reminded me very much of Vladimir Putin (he just did!) He was polite but very curt, almost quite cold in his manner. Despite not knowing how much they understood, I chatted with them the whole time, explained everything that was happening, reassured them constantly and even had a bit of tear in my eye when baba was delivered safe and sound after a bit of an emergency. Spent the next couple of hours with them in recovery to make sure the lady was stable, and whilst she and I managed to forge a decent level of very simple conversation, he said next to nothing to me. He was very attentive to his wife and new baby but I got the impression that my usual charm offensive wasn't having much impact. Anyway, it turned out that I was leaving to go back to my department, he was going to go home (it was about 3am) and return in the morning so I offered to walk with him and let him out of the coded doors with my pass. As we got outside he just stopped and said "It was very long day and things went not good. When things are not good it made me scared. You made me not scared any more. Thank you. You do your job very well. Goodnight" And he turned and walked away to his car. It just made me smile all the way back to the theatre dept. Maybe sometimes we are appreciated even when it feels like we're really not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9086 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That's nice Cath You do know all Eastern Europeans are murderers though, right? What you've taken as him reaching out to you is in fact a precursor to hours of torture and eventual agonising death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
