when I got knocked off my motorbike, that hurt alot
Tomorrow morning at southlands DSU, I gather it's done under local anesthetic and they use an xray machine to guide the needle in. They said there will be 3 injections to do.
When a plastic replacement joint breaks inside your thumb it's surprisingly painful and easily makes the idea of taking a chainsaw to your hand seem like a pleasant alternative.
So when it happens again, a few weeks later, you wish you'd chosen the chainsaw.
(Not that recovering from having all the bones in your thumb sawn up and fused is NICE. But it's not as awesomely painful)
Good luck, I'll be thinking of you. What you're going through makes my chemo seem so trivial.
Pain my arse - try having your gonads re-arranged with a vasectomy
Sorry to hear your having chemo fella you must be feeling a bit rough with that.
Thanks, I actually finished the course in September but was very tired and a real s**t to live with. However, that and the surgery seem to have done the trick for now so it's CT scans etc every 3 months and 'fingers crossed'. Sounds a bit morbid perhaps but just hoping I'll last until Falmer and my 50 years of watching the stripes.
Keep me out of this.Somehow, Beachy, I just can't see Roz going for that! Ed's maybe but that wouldn't quite be the same eh?
Must have been the vasectomy for me when the nice nurse and me were discussing kids (not sure why given what was happening) and the doctor started on the second when and the anaesthetic had not quite set in.
Thankfully Nursey got the message as well when I yelped and said stop
This is spooky, exactly the same thing happened to me when I had mine done at Southlands Hospital. Nurse chatting to me to (about kids) Started on the second and I nearly hit the ceiling, another jab of anaesthetic only dulled it a bit, it still bloody hurt. We're not the same person are we? I had mine done in 1986.

Very spooky as mine was at Southlands as well but around 3 years ago
Ah ok, i hope it goes well for you! I've had injections with x-rays, theyre fine. I hope they give you a lovely nurse to hold your hand!! I'm seeing my consultant tomorrow too, so it seems to be a day for it!!

I will NEVER forget that picture
You and the Doctors deserve a MEDAL for getting you walking again after that.
A mate was describing his vasectomy the other day, and told me he was awake for it - but got injections straight into his testicles.
Ahem. Now I don't know if that's even comfortable to think about, so actually having needles put into you there would discourage me enough from ever having THAT particular op.
I understand it was an alternative that he chose, instead of being put under.
