Chit Chat and All That...

[aura]

You're a doctor, @aura? Have your ears affected your job at all?

Not at all.

Well I had to take a break from work when I experienced the headaches at the beginning of the year.

The only problem I have at work is that when an ambulance passes by I have to plug my ears.

 

[Forever hopeful]

Yes she has also gone into hiding, avoiding all these twisted sex deprived individuals, you know who I'm talking about here. @Exit and his pal @Wrfortiscue saying they are straight then this photo pops up with two gays in leather. The hell ya thinking. Ya scared the young lady, disappeared into the night. @aura you should teach these two a good lesson, maybe turn that vibrator up to full capacity. Take some photos of them enjoying it.

@Exit and @Elmer B Fuddled.

Oh I'm still here. Takes a lot more than that to scare me off. Couple of crazy days at work.

 

[Forever hopeful]

Hey Gorgeous Lady!

I meant to message back about all my broken bones, when you asked how I injured myself.

When I was 13, I used to play football after school everyday. One day I stood in a pothole in the grass, and turned my ankle so badly that I broke it, tore the ligaments, damaged the tendon, and fractured the front. Anyway, I was on crutches for weeks and weeks. Then a couple of months after I was off crutches and out of my weird ankle casting, I decided to do the bleep test (stamina test) at school in P.E. I was one of the last people still going, and then suddenly - oops! I fell on my ankle and damaged the whole lot exactly the same, all over again! So back to the hospital and back to crutches and loads of physiotherapy for months.

Okay, so my knee. I was travelling through Europe, and my ex boyfriend at the time forced me to go on a scooter. I am only just 5 foot 1 and had never ridden a scooter. My feet didn't touch the ground when I was on the seat, and I didn't feel comfortable riding one. Unfortunately, the ex was a complete bully (I was actually quite shy when I was younger) and I let him force me into riding it, when I said I really didn't want to. So, we're going along, and he starts beeping his horn at me like mad, telling me to pull over. So, not knowing anything about scooters and breaks, I hit the front break and skidded on some gravel, and went flying over the handle bars! Anyway, when I hit the ground, my left knee took the full impact - it made me feel sick. The ex quickly stopped and ran over. It turned out he was beeping me because he thought he had ran out of fuel... but he hadn't. Anyway, I was taken by a very kind man to the nearest hospital and they told me that I had broken my left leg and my left knee. Great!

The other leg. A few years later, I was sitting there on the doorstep, smoking a dirty cigarette, when I noticed a lump on my right. The lump initially didn't hurt but I thought it was odd. Anyway, fast forward a few months and this lump was becoming pretty damn painful, so I went to the doctors. As I live in England, and we have a crazy shit healthcare system called the NHS (which some old people still think is awesome for some unknown, wartime reason), the doctor said it was just a swollen tendon and to take some anti-inflammatories. So I did as he said. Anyway, the lump wasn't getting any better - right this is a long story. Hold tight!

(Quick Rant)
*This is England, and if you need any medical care, like scans or operations, you need to wait at least 3 years, and still then, nothing might ever be done. But don't worry! We are grateful! Because it's free! Aren't we lucky!*

So, I go back and forth to the doctors and the hospital for FIVE YEARS, trying to convince them that there is something wrong with my knee, because I am in my mid-20s, and even walking was becoming incredibly painful.

Right, I will now highlight how unbelievably incompetent our healthcare system is. So, after a few years of asking for a scan, just so they can check the lump on my knee, they finally gave me an x-ray. They x-rayed the knee flat, and because of this, the x-ray didn't show anything. So, they said it was nothing, and just to get on with it blah blah blah. It was still really painful, so I go back a year or so later and see a different doctor. She said, why did they x-ray it flat when you could only see the lump when the knee is in the bent position? So, she sends me off to have it x-rayed again. When I finally go to have it x-rayed, the person doing it had an actual argument with me because they said I should have it x-rayed flat, and there is no need to have it done bent. Anyway, I threw an absolute shit storm and they did it my way, and low and behold, it showed there was an issue!

Right, so I wait about another year to have an MRI done because now they have acknowledged there is something going on. So, I finally go to have an MRI on my knee and the nurse tells me it's my left leg they need to scan. I said, it's the right leg. They said, it's your left leg, it's written down here. I said, clearly you've made a fucking mistake because I'm telling you it's the right leg! I said well how can I get you to scan the right leg. They said I would have to go back to the doctor, and get a new referral which would take about another 6 months to a year. I ended up losing my fucking shit with them and actually frogmarched them to a phone, to call my doctor to confirm that they were trying to scan the wrong leg!!

Anyway, they eventually did do the scan, and my knee was so bad, that they booked me into surgery within two weeks!!

It turned out, I must have had some sort of impact injury, as bits of my knee cap had become chipped away, and those chipped bits had lodged themselves in the tendon across the front on the knee cap, and were essentially pulling it apart. So, I had open knee surgery, and it was very, very painful.

Phew! Sorry for the massive reply! But yeah, that's a few of my major injuries. And it was only three months ago that I fell out the back of my van and tore the ligaments in my foot. I still can't fully weight bare on it yet. They said it would take a while.

And sorry for the NHS rant. I hate how glorified it is when most people my age and younger know that in fact, it's a failing system.

Anyway, @Forever hopeful I would be so glad to have you on board for my tinnitus project. And, I've always wanted to go to Boston.

Oh my. Those are a lot of injuries. Soft tissue injuries like your torn ligaments take forever to heal. And I hate to say it but it only gets worse as you get older.

I have learned from reading many posts that the NHS is beyond inadequate. I think it is unconscionable that people have to wait three years for a scan or an operation. The US healthcare system is by far not perfect but access is very good. You can pretty much have anything done you need to have done relatively quickly. There are certain areas in the US where access and availability of care and providers may be more limited, and of course, if you are uninsured that is a problem. Most states have a public health insurance program but you need to qualify based on income, which needs to be quite low. Massachusetts has a very robust public health insurance program.

I am very lucky to live where I live. Boston is home to some of the best hospitals in the country. I am also very lucky that I have private insurance through my husband's employer. We still pay a fair amount for our healthcare though between our monthly contributions, co-pays and deductibles. And actually, medical bills are one of the top reasons for bankruptcy in this country. I also think that's unconscionable.

@aura, just what kind of doctor are you?

Asking for a friend.

 

[aura]

@aura, just what kind of doctor are you?

Asking for a friend.

Well I'm not an ENT doctor, that's for sure!

But you can tell your friend that if he ever needs an endocrinologist, he has two options: waiting there at least 6 months or coming here for a quick checkup

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

6 months... More like 7 years if you're lucky, we have the HSE which is like the medical in England.

So now I understand your profession which is working with people with hormone glands and so forth. Also you should be capable to help people with diabetes.

 

[aura]

Also you should be capable to help people with diabetes.

Not really.

Diabetes is... outside my skill set, because here, in Romania, we have two different specialties: diabetology and endocrinology.

 

[Wrfortiscue]

What happened to the sex talk? Haha

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

What happened to the sex talk? Haha

The sex cops arrived and we had to slip into incognito, miss Stephens has been promoted to head sex talk with @aura promoting new toys for the ladies.

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

Not really.

Hmm interesting, here they just hand you some pills and politely tell you to get lost.

 

[Exit]

Don't worry babe, I'm gonna oil you up later

 

[aura]

What happened to the sex talk? Haha

What's wrong with diabetes?

 

[aura]

Hmm interesting, here they just hand you some pills and politely tell you to get lost.

Same here,but you have to train for 5 years before doing that

 

[Damocles]

God the Olympic Games are boring after the European Championship...

Good news though guys; My Leafeon just grew to Level 95!!

 

[Damocles]

Same here,but you have to train for 5 years before doing that

About the same amount of time you have to train to become a POKEMON MASTER!!! then.

^^(see post above)^^

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

Same here,but you have to train for 5 years before doing that

Really 5 years before you can hand out pills and tell them to get lost. So you have no experience in diabetes, too bad I'd be asking a lot of questions.

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

Aren't you gays still in Spain? So now you need sex talk to make your nights more exciting, better call miss Stephens.

 

[aura]

Really 5 years before you can hand out pills and tell them to get lost. So you have no experience in diabetes, too bad I'd be asking a lot of questions.

And before that 6 years in University.

So 11 years if you want to be a diabetologist.

12 if you want to be a surgeon.

 

[Wrfortiscue]

Aren't you gays still in Spain? So now you need sex talk to make your nights more exciting, better call miss Stephens.

Believe me... I can barely walk lol.

 

[Steph1710]

Hmm interesting, here they just hand you some pills and politely tell you to get lost.

Yup. In England it's the same.

"Dr. Exit with friends exploring southern Spain" Part 1

The 3 best friends, @Exit, @Wrfortiscue and @Zugzug arrived at the hotel and were shocked; the doctor's secretary/audiologist, the kinky miss Stephens, had by mistake booked them a gay only hotel.

Since no other hotels were free, the lads decided to make the best of it.
@Wrfortiscue laughed and said "We're Speedo guys anyway, so we'll just buy pink hats and some oil to blend in!"

Next day in the garden, the handsome Dr. Exit, the young looking @Wrfortiscue with his wide chest and strong jaw, and @Zugzug "the Rock", were enjoying some cosmopolitans while oiling up each other's pecs and glutes in the sun for fun!

In fact they were so oiled up that after a swim they couldn't get out of the pool. Then out of nowhere 3 hot, tanned Spanish boys with no hair except a big moustache came into rescue and got them up!

The young boys; Emporio, Paco Rabanne and Emilio Fidelio suggested to have some gay drinks together; Sex on the beach, Rim job and Hole in one

Unfortunately there were also some roofies in our friends drinks...
Next day they woke up, hammered, oily, sore buns and bums completely broken...

When they lined up bums against the mirror, the young boys had written with pink lipstick on their asses:

Miss Stephens says ¡Hola!

Ahhh that's their story. What really happened, the whole gay hotel turned our 3 cute friends from straight to the other side, they just ain't telling just how exciting it truly was. Then we wonder what happened to the pediatrician @aot. Is he still ringing the hotel and ordering sandwiches for him and his redhead or has the three young ladies shown up to help him? Let's question @aura, the filthy rich cleaning lady with her bag of tricks.

I could never live up to your expectations!

He and his redhead are playing video games and nothing else.

Nope.

Nothing else.

Just... playing video games.

My kind of dude.

 

[Shera]

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth everyone. I got so distracted by life. Long story short my dad ended up getting sicker and we found out it wasn't just his MSA/Parkinson's disease. He had cancer. Pretty bad cancer. Multiple myeloma. No one could believe how fast it hit and that it was stage 4 before all the proper tests and conclusions. He decided he wanted to die at home. I took care of him at home until he finally passed a little before 4am on the 21st.

Anywho. I'm too lazy respond to replies all the way back from May. So I'll just jump in!

Hey to all the new faces! It's nice to have you in the thread. The posts have been hilarious!

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

I could never live up to your expectations!

Sure you can. My expectations are quite simple, as I'm a simple man. So tell us what's the three of you got planned for our straight gay boys in this hotel that they can't leave.

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

They don't have video games in that cheap sleazy hotel you are in.
