Any update @andye? Did you get another nerve block early AM Friday, or just some strong painkillers? Hopefully you are being waited on my Mrs Andye when she's not at work - unless she took some time off to nurse her favourite patient.

You were spot on @Quickstatus. Attended yesterday for the 2nd review, The wound has been weeping and the fluids coming through (or out the bottom) of the bandages, the worst was on Saturday (when I did the least walking, 307 steps to be precise) and nothing until overnight Monday. I had wrapped...

@Quickstatus you've described what I saw. Will ask the nurse on Tuesday on my next visit but SSG sounds like that’s what I had

So an update - visited the surgeons' rooms @ Wesley Hospital yesterday and had the bandage and pads taken off both wounds. The donor site (where the skin graft was taken) was looking really good, it had been sealed the whole time and the antibiotics had done their job. Just a large square of red...

Loved the @andye medical trip report. Is it too late to do my own 🤔 Was the 18th June and I had (like andye) a change to my timing - was 30 mins later at 12:30pm check in at my local private hospital (Northwest) in suburban Everton Park. Wife drove me there and dropped me at the back of the...

Ah yes, the days of QEA and QEB fares - my first wife worked for QF. Whilst the fare prices were great, having to book multiple carriers for international and be acutely aware of loads (to know whether we were likely to get on) - no I don’t miss it. A number of times after weekends away, trying...

Wow @andye that post is chock full of information that will take me a while to digest. Will copy and print out to give to him and his wife.

I just got this email and it’s confusing. The subject heading says: Join Hilton for Business and earn Double Nights on stays. and the body of the email: The last line of the first box says “You’re already enrolled”, so why not say that in the subject heading?? Regardless, this’ll be a...

Will go and find out. Dr Carroll is the Head of Medicine at Redcliffe Hospital, would have thought that it would have been done.

Well up from the last one that I’d had a couple of years ago. Given familial similar diagnosis perhaps?

Finally, asking for an extended family member. He’s 89 and until a month ago, working in his garden and shed (has all kinds of tools, as he was a sheet metal worker and welder). He had a turn (breathless and disoriented) and went to hospital. Was there for a week whilst they organized various...

Then my 17 yo daughter had day surgery today. Had a hysteroscopy, D&C and an IV iron infusion. Mirena put in (levonorgestrel 20 micrograms every 24 hours). She’s been having horrible pain on the first day of her periods. Hoping the report shows the issue. Only on oral drospirone and Panamax...

@JohnK it sounds like the virus I had 6 weeks ago and my wife had last week. Similar symptoms, sputum and expectoration. Not COVID. Cough is damn annoying. We started with pain relief for coughing (diaphragm/lungs), a dry/wet cough decongestant and throat lozenges. It’s a waiting game. Coughing...

Time for my medical issues. Had blood tests ostensively to check PSA levels (as brother aged 58 had prostatectomy in May) but no problems there (I must be the other side of the family 😮‍💨) Found out that I had high LDL (4.9) so onto statins. Good to find early and brother on same statins -...

I’ve been having issues with the Business Portal, so my booking was done via standard VA website and just added my ABN.

Yes, his Japanese is slightly better than mine (so know enough to be dangerous, learnt some Japanese in 1992/3).

There should be no issues as the new flight will still be on an eligible date

Only got to book and fly one return (BNE/SYD/BNE)

Lunch at Westin Brisbane on Thursday. No menu: This last dessert (mine) was spectacular. The sweetness of the mousse (which had another flavour inside) was cut through by the grapefruit. White chocolate crumb wasn’t too sweet either
