You have been on my mind since yesterday: I hope you will be better soon and back with us even sooner.
Sending you good vibes, good wishes and hugs from South Africa. :smile:

I spent ten days in the hospital late August early September because of suspected gastritis problems. The doctors soon found out that I have inherited high blood pressure. They told me after countless tests and nearly draining all of my blood :bluesad: I'm on medication now, my blood pressure is down to normal (121/62) and my gastritis, which all these years seemed somewhat connected to the high blood pressure, went from agony to relief.
It's good to get checked from head to toe on a regular basis and then get patched up. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Jack. :cheers:
Thanks guys! Turned out I've got gastritis as well. Which is better than a bleeding ulcer, and the doctor said it should clear up (hopefully) in a few days. I just got back from the hospital now - took two days instead of one of course - and I'm feeling pretty weak but at least I'm on the road to recovery. I've got a whole pile of medications I need to sort through. And happily a whole pile of DVD's that arrived in the mail while I was gone too! :teddyr:
Thanks for the concern my friends, I appreciate it :smile:
WHAAAAAT!! You're supposed to be made of steel! You can't get sick!! I hope you feel better soon! I had to look up gastritis because in my juvenile mind, it always sounded like a fart infection and I was happy with that, but it reality, it seems painful and not at all as funny as infected farts.
I had not heard of this! Best of wishes and a speedy recovery.
I'm fortunate that I have not seen much of hospitals as a patient, just as an employee.
Take care buddy!
Glad they know what to do with you! Now maybe they can share...we could use some pointers. :wink: :teddyr:
Here I was thinking you'd be whiling away the hours watching 'Hospital' horror - something along the lines of "Nurse Sherri" (1978) perhaps.

LOL, I did not have infected farts - they're bad enough in their normal form :bouncegiggle:

Side note I also had an EGD recently. I was so f'd up from the sedative.

I just spent a day and a half lying in a hospital bed afterwards so I couldn't really tell what aftereffects the sedative had. :smile: I remember the anesthesiologist telling me I'd start to feel drowsy in a few seconds and I was out like a light in about 3 seconds.
Two things...
Get well, dude!
And
Did you snore?
missed this.. get well Mr. J :thumbup:

Oddly when I had wrist surgery they gave me General anesthesia which is gas basically. I was fine post surgery and remembered everything. With the EGD it was supposed to be lighter sedative bu it knocked me out for about eight hours.
^ Yeah they were kind of talking about having me come back in 6 weeks for another one. I'm really hoping they forget about that.
