Hello Jan, had my gallbladder out last year, 4 small incisions. Very sore for a day or two,then moving gets easier. I'm 58, and in the US.dont think it would be much different in UK. I have more issues with anesthesia than pain.

I had my gall bladder removed in Jan 2020, not a success, I have trouble digesting fat as in chocolate, dairy etc, that’s why I have to take those 300 billion probiotics/prebiotics I mentioned to you in an email a couple of days ago.

@UrbanGypsyCrochet Күн бұрын
Sadly Kendals went many years ago. I forget who uses the building now. I bought my wedding dress from Kendals and used to go to the cafe when I visited Manchester. My Mum loved the ground coffee from there. They had a lovely coffee shop that sold lots of varieties of coffee beans and would even combine 2 or 3 different beans to make an individual mix. They would grind it for you if so requested.

Unfortunately this hooping cough outbreak does affect adults as well. The adults don't tend to whoop and vomit. either way it is horrible a friend was diagnosed by her GP with it a month ago. It amazes me that every child has been vaccinated as a lot of us were when we were children in the 1960's along with Polio and Diptheria so why has it got such a grip yet again?
@UrbanGypsyCrochet Күн бұрын
I think that people think that whooping cough has disappeared and are no longer vaccinated against it. Paula has been whooping for about 3 months now. I remember having it as a child but don't think that my son ever had it. I love crocheting baby clothes. I am trying to use up some of my part balls of yarn.
@UrbanGypsyCrochet Күн бұрын
@@annbeirne9583 It's something that most of us thought that it had been eradicated by vaccine. Maybe this is a new strain. I watch Paula from Stitched by Mrs D and she says she and her daughters have been coughing for about 3 months now. Maybe not all children are vaccinated now. I presume that I was but remember getting it as a child.

Who has whooping cough these days? I haven't heard that mentioned since I was about 6. We don't want that back do we? Gall bladder. Yes that would account for the pain, digestive upset etc. My husband had his out not to many years ago, and it was key hole, quick and fast recovery. Just no lifting. (that means tubs of yarn to you). Hopefully they can schedule that sooner rather than later. The baby jacket looks darling. So cute. I bought some cosmetics recently as I was getting low on the basics. When they arrived, included were 3 vials of perfume. I tried one, and loved it. My husband noticed as well, and he isn't much for perfumes. He thought it was lovely and I should get some more. I got out my magnifying glass to see what it was, and then looked it up on line. I went to speak to my husband, and said "it is no wonder we liked this perfume" - it is by Tiffany and it is $125. per oz. We had a good laugh.
@UrbanGypsyCrochet Күн бұрын
I suppose it's people who thought that whooping cough had died out and not been vaccinated. I had it as a small child. I haven't yet heard from my GP so no idea if or when my operation will take place. I seem to love the most expensive perfumes but the nearest I get to them is a free squirt in the big stores when they have testers on display.

Sorry the side effects have affected you so badly…when you started on the injections it would have been on a lower dose and then go up in order to avoid these effects So after a long gap between meds it makes sense to restart on lower dose..if your syringes are preloaded then only use half you shouldn’t have nasty effects then with a bonus of them lasting longer … Also drinking plenty of water will also help..
@UrbanGypsyCrochet Күн бұрын
@@Sewrelaxed707 That sounds like a better plan but I am at the mercy of my GP and diabetes nurse so don't have a say in the dosage of my injections. If I had a constant supply then these side effects wouldn't happen. The people with money don't have this problem as they can buy the injections privately. I can't use half an injection as they are pre loaded like a gun so that it's all or nothing. It's not a syringe.

Hi Jan. Sorry you go through such awful side effects every time you finally get your medicine. I think it's not right for people who don't actually medically need it to get it, especially before those who do. I know you have gone through this so many times already. Why don't the manufacturers produce more? They could still price gouge and make even more money! Feel free to whinge, you need to get it out. I do it whenever it builds up to the point I need to get it out. I hope you feel completely ok and back to yourself quickly. Take very best care of yourself. See you next time.

I suppose that it's all to do with money. People with money can pay for the injections. I argue this fact every time I don't get my injections but although the medical staff are sympathetic they can't help me. This time has been worse than usual as there was such a long gap between prescriptions.
