Fecking hospitals

I went into hospital a week early for a preop, taking weight, height, urine sample and stuff, in preparation to do an umbilical hernia repair.

when it came to a quick finger prick blood test the nurse said oops! Let me do it again, wash your hands and I’ll do a different finger. Did that and she then said I need to get your urine sample checked. 10 minutes later said she has just cancelled my operation as I’m too ill to operate on. Apparently I was extremely hyperglycaemic diabetic with an HbA1c reading of 146. Well that didn’t mean owt to me, but every doctor I saw within the next couple of weeks were amazed I had no symptoms, not tired, not overweight etc. If you’re normal the reading should be 46 or below. It took 9 months to get me down to a level where they could knock me out and operate. That was nearly 4 years ago, I’m going in for my 6 months update on Monday.
What has that got to do with toast?

Please stay on subject.

Toast... I like it very well done, bordering on bunt, then let it go cold .. then 1/4" thick butter on it.. Lovely grub
Oh, and I like my cornflakes nice and soggy too !

On my new health kick regime I limit toast to three slices twice a week before going out to golf to fuel up for the exercise. Makes golf days even more pleasurable.

Can't remember the last time I had corn flakes. Again, cereal is pretty much off the menu these days although, bizarrely, bacon with fat cut off, beans, mushrooms, poached eggs and grilled tomatoes is part of the regime.

Works for me(y)

My turn today. A room to myself, which is nice, but the two nurses attending to me do not have big tits.

I haven’t eaten since 2200 last night, 12 hours ago, and now I’m bastard starving. I have to wait until at least 1200 before I get knocked out by the anaesthetist! :mad:

I thought you were going private? That gives you choices like pick of nurses. Isn't that the point going private? Well that and the wine list of course

Seriously 24 hours without food isn't good. I'm feeling happier knowing there is someone worse off than me. And they've just told me I can go home today, which is nice. Mind you I have to wait for the meds in form of self injections for next fortnight.

I am private. Seems all the fit nurses don’t work weekends :oops:

24 hours without food is fine, I do it occasionally. Intermittent fasting is (in my view) the best form of weight management. Diets are bullshit, plain and simple, and they don’t work in the long term. It’s lifestyle, not diet, that governs weight and body composition.

Thanks, John. I’m back in my room and awake now. My head feels like there’s a Frenchman living in it but apart from that, all good (y)

Breakfast for me is a protein shake followed by either porridge with full fat, lactose free milk or muesli with full fat Greek yoghurt. Slack handful of walnuts and Brazil nuts, cacao nibs and some dried fruit chucked in.
