Title: Oldman's health issues.
Post by: Oldman on June 17, 2014, 11:44:45 AM
Sorry if I seem to be wingeing about it but just giving all my friends on here the heads up.
As many of you know I have been suffering from respiritory problems for a while, however due to recent visits to the doctors and an ever increasing repeat perscription list, it looks like they may finally have got their act together.

If the tests still to come are not clear, the prognosis is not what I shall want to hear.

I shall continue to keep tabs on you all, but my modelling is becoming more limited.

Regards Mike

All the best Mike.  I hope you can get some more modelling done in the future, as I enjoy seeing what you've made.

Do take care Mike and hope your health does get better so you can model, it is not nice to see fellow modellers struggling with health.

All the very best.

Fingers crossed Mike, for a great result. I have found that when they do get their act together, they can work miracles.

Take it easy, mate. Getting old sucks. I'm off to my blood doctor tomorrow... just keep on keeping on - as Malc says, sometimes they fix stuff.

Getting old sucks, but it sure beats the alternative.

As all of us are getting older by the day we can all sympathise.

Just remember that we are all behind you!  We do not want to stand in front in case you fall over!

Warmest regards, Peter.

All the best Mike, but sorry, Peter.. I wouldn't be behind you even if I was sober  ;D

First the good news is I got the all clear on stomach cancer but  possibly due to being on steroids for the breathing have got a hiatus hernia that I shall have to live with including changing diet and eating patterns.
Still some other tests to go but they refuse to do them until I have been on the changed diet for a month.

That is good news. Sucks about the diet though.

Great news about the big C. I have had a hiatus hernia for 30 years. I haven't changed my diet, but avoid large meals and don't eat late at night. The doc advised me to put a couple of bricks under the legs at the top of the bed. Didn't do that, but followed the other advice. The thing settled down after a few weeks of eating less.

Great News!

But agree the diet can be a bit of a nuisance, just look on the bright side.

Great news. I don't think you should find the diet difficult. You will miss some of the treats you enjoyed but which were probably bad for you anyway. For me I miss fresh cream trifle yummy but the suffering wasn't worth it for just 5 minutes of pleasure.  :)
Title: Re: Oldman's health issues.
Post by: Newportnobby on July 20, 2014, 10:51:37 AM
Excellent news on the C front, Mike :claphappy:
Hope the diet change isn't too drastic.
