Post by: ~[fruity]~ on August 09, 2012, 01:56:01 am
Am here, waiting for thread to die a natural death  ;D, sorry had to go to toe doc yesterday. Bit hobbly again today but got a great report. Back to driving / normal duties as I can manage. At the moment it is rivalling the big toe for size but the swelling will go down once the toe accepts the stainless steel hard ware that is in there.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: judydawn on August 09, 2012, 01:58:08 am
Thought we'd lost you not the thread fruity  ;D  Glad to hear you can drive again, the swelling will go down soon enough and you will feel normal again.

Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: ~[fruity]~ on August 14, 2012, 05:08:53 am
I couldn't believe it either, was resting my foot across my leg (ie right foot was resting on left knee) and I shut the car door, did you know that your big and 2nd toe will fit with the door closed in the gap??? no neither did I.

It is actually feeling a bit better today. And have managed to get out and about, take DS4 to swimming, grab some bread from the bakery, and make a banana cake.

Have DS 2 & 3 to take to hockey practice this arvo, and DS1 to swimming squad training.

DS2 was screaming at DH to call 000, DS1 wanted to know if he had to run around the car and see if my toe was laying on the ground. If it hadn't hurt so much I would have been laughing

This sugery was to re break the small amount of fused bone, clean the break and install a plate and 4 screws.

This surgery was to remove the infected middle knuckle and then put a K wire in to stabilise the joint so the bone could fuse. (you can see the end of the wire poking out the top of my toe)

The fusion didn't take and I needed another surgery 18 ish months later.

Post by: Delightful Den on August 15, 2012, 04:24:44 am
How did you break the toe Fruity?

My DD had some similar surgery on a finger some years ago. She had a wire poking out the back of her hand. They had to do it twice because it didn't heal. Eventually sh told them to take the finger off because it wouldn't heal and it was interfering with her doing anything.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: *suzanne* on August 15, 2012, 04:25:57 am
Ouch, I hope it's healing nicely for you xx

Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: ~[fruity]~ on August 15, 2012, 05:48:05 am
Believe it or not it is all from a blister. I got a blister on the top of my knuckle that got infected. Infection went into knuckle had the knuckle removed.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on August 15, 2012, 07:19:31 am
Sounds and looks very nasty fruity :(
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Delightful Den on August 15, 2012, 01:08:29 pm
That is amazing Fruity. I would never have thought that an infected blister could spread into the bone.

When my DD's finger wouldn't heal it was because of an infection in the bone. DD had her hand stepped on by a horse and the break in her finger was compound. The initial hospital didn't clean the wound well and infection set into the bone.

I had never ever heard of it either, but because it has been put forward that because I was pregnant (and didn't know it) at the time it may have affected healing, did your DD have her finger amputated? How long did she allow for healing before making that decision (if she made it)?

What was recovery like?
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Delightful Den on August 15, 2012, 03:13:45 pm
DD had two separate surgeries to have her finger pinned and set. A week or two after the first pin was removed she was having physio when the therapist felt the bone moving and sent her back to the surgeon. They then set and pinned her finger again. This time the cleaned up the end of the bones and sent samples off for cultures. She was kept in hospital for about a week and given strong antibiotics.

When they took second pin out they finger was still not set. The surgeon wanted to put her on a central line antibiotics for 3-6 months before attempting surgery again. He couldn't give any guaranties about how much use of the finger she would have. She was 19 at the time and made the decision to have the finger removed. 

The surgeon took the finger off from well back in her hand and moved the other fingers over. You cannot notice the missing finger even if you shake her hand.

Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on August 16, 2012, 08:08:15 am
Maybe they are so busy cooking that they haven't had time to post?

I found a hard, blue lump in my finger, so I tried my own surgical procedure of removing it with a pair of scissors. Not my greatest idea, I must confess :-))

Sorry I have been MIA, this damn toe has been causing me grief,

I have secondary infection due to rejection of the plate and screws and have been a bit knocked by it, barely managing to function to get normal house work / cooking etc done.

Just finished 2nd round of high dose anti b's, off them for a week and back to see specialist next week, looking like a month of low dose anti b's and if that doesn't work plate and screws will be removed. .... sigh

I'm not a footie fan (still trying to figure out which 'nickname' goes with which team!), but we live in Collingwood and and are fairly close to the MCG which means we can hear the cheering (or other!) at the match.  We hope that Collingwood wins purely because we don't like to have too many disgruntled fans walking around after the match!

It is very very very very sore, have an appt with the surgeon Wednesday, going to request an amputation. DH managed to drop the hose end of our new dishwasher yesterday, and like a magnetic pole, it landed on my toe, dropped me to the ground in a screaming quivering mess. I have been battling this toe in excess of 2 years, I think it has had enough time to prove itself. I was walking 8 - 10 km a day, and competed in a half mara walk before it got so bad, now I am hobbling after a 2 km stroll.

No, as it is the 2nd toe, only the big toe affects balance.

Thinking I should host a toe off party, for everyone boots and all to toe the line, get their foot in the door and kick things off! ;)

I tried to change my own dressing yesterday. DW is useless at these things. Any how when I started  to ease the top dressing off some of the steri strips were stuck to the dressing. :( Lazy bugger surgeon didn't use stitches.

I had to re-stick the old dressing back down. I wish I had one of our nurse members here to assist me.

In the end steri strips may leave a neater scar - provided that they are strong enough to keep the wound closed. I sliced a finger open on Easter Sunday. The doctor I visited steri stripped rather than stitched. Wound fell open a few times which was annoying but I think it's probably a neater scar because I don't have the little holes from the stitches surrounding it although it is perhaps wider than it might have been if there were stitches.

Hope it heals well for you. I visited another doctor a few days later who kindly stuck the wound back together for me. From then on I could do it myself.

DD, you can buy steri strips from the chemist. Just make sure that the two edges of the skin are put together as neat as possible (don't leave a gap and don't overlap) before applying fresh steri strips.
Don't want an ugly scar ruining your boyish good looks.  :D

Thanks Michelle. The chemist only had the skinny steri strips and DW couldn't look at the wound site to help me apply them. The edges of the wound are sticking together nicely, the strips are now just keeping it from opening back up.

I went to the a& e at mt local hospital when I hit back home and a lovely nurse redressed it for me.

the toe saga continues.... off for more surgery next Thursday to remove all the metal hardware and I have classic rejection symptoms.... oh yay! even the metal rejects me (hehe) and then will most probably end up having the toe removed at a later stage, they are planning on taking bone and tissue samples to find out what is going on and how to treat it before resecting the toe further up the foot (toe amputation is a big surgery apparently) who would've thunk a blister......

Unfortunately ours don't last long enough to get to that stage but they are the best for everything. I probably should put some aside for this purpose but I would like to get some where the price has been reduced  :D marvelous what a difference a couple of days makes to the price sometimes, but our 2 big supermarkets near us rarely sell reduced priced fruit

I like those bananas too CP.  On Friday our local supermarket put two trolleys with F&V in that they wanted to get rid off cheaply.  You can fill a plastic bag with as much as you can fit in and then they seal it and price it at $3.  I got two containers of blueberries, some mandarins (which were beautiful) some pak choy, cos lettuce, and cucumber.  There were 3 blueberries I had to throw out the others were great and I have put them in the freezer.  They will come in very handy

Also roses love banana skins as they contain a lot of potassium. Also mozzies particularly are attracted to people who've eaten bananas.

Hi MF, I'm good thanks :) I started work at 2:30pm and just knocked off at 9pm, so I'm a bit tired and hungry! :-)) I think mum had a good birthday. We went shopping this morning and she choose her present, and she also bought herself some things with the birthday money she got from her mum and dad ;D I made her cake this afternoon before I went to work, and then her sister-in-law came around and gave her a nice plant for the patio :)

Post by: ~[fruity]~ on October 07, 2012, 07:30:39 am
Sorry haven't been around for a bit, ended up not feeling real flash Sunday after the op on Wednesday, rode it out Monday, felt worse Tuesday with hot sweats and about 1.5 hours sleep Tuesday night with ever increasing pain. As toe was still dressed from op, I rang surgeon's room, who wanted me to come in. Which I did, and after the toe was undressed realised why I felt so rotten.

It was a beautiful rainbow of colours from almost black to almost yellow. I had contracted a staph infection and have just arrived home from 5 days on IV AntiBiotics.

Realised while I was in hospital that when someone is unwell, fallen on hard times, generally feeling down that I am the first one to help out, was sadly disappointed to realise that street is a one way road. :(  :'(
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on October 07, 2012, 07:34:40 am
Oh fruity!! I'd noticed you hadn't been online and was going to call if you didn't come on today.

That sounds terrible. You and your toe have certainly had a bad run of luck :( :( :(
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 07, 2012, 07:44:36 am

Hope your toe gets better soon.

Don't sweat over people that don't do the right thing by you as they are not worth it :)

Take care and hope the antibiotics take effect soon  :)

Sorry to hear about your troubles fruity and hope you are on the road to recovery after your latest treatment.  It is sad to know others were not there for you when you needed help - this is not surprising as life is full of one way street situations.

Sorry to hear that Fruity. I hope you are back up and running quickly.

I only had 1 visitor when I was in hospital for 3 weeks, and she only arrived the day after I had mildly moaned on Twitter that no one was visiting (my Twitter friends aren't anyone I know nearby but someone does live nearby follows my tweets via FB). Odd co-incedence.

I'm so sorry no-one came to visit. If you had an iPad and been online in hospital, we would have kept you entertained and I'm sure some one here would have helped anyway we could, I know I would have if you were in Melbourne

At least your home now and we can keep in touch

Good to hear, they make hospital much more bearable (ESP if hospital has wifi a d there is a Mac/another iOS device in your house then you can FaceTime, something I did some nights when the missus could only do a flying visit)

Had a review with doc yesterday, who is pleased with the progress, is keeping me on strong ABs for 6 weeks, wound check again at 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks have an MRI and a referral to the doc foot / ankle doc in Victoria, there is a very real chance I will have to have it amputated.

If it has been quite some time since you last had dairy your body may have stopped producing lactase (the enzyme that processes lactose). Try lactose free dairy things and see if that helps?

CP I once got a speeding ticket in my old Morris Major. I wanted to frame it for display.  :)
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: cookie1 on October 22, 2012, 07:08:59 am
CP it depends on the car and the condition of the engine and body. They generally like to sit around 70 to 80 kph. One of our club members got picked up for doing 80 kph but he disputed it as he said the car couldn't do it ands they let him off. In fact he probably was doing that speed. It was here in SA after a national rally.

Sorry, has taken a while to process, and I have been so busy with end of month statements/ invoices etc etc I haven't got back on here.

I went back to my specialist last Wednesday and he is almost 100% certain the staph infection is in the bone, which isn't wonderful news.

Had organised an appointment for me with the top foot and ankle specialist in Victoria at the end of this month but he is pretty sure I will need a radical resection of the 2nd toe (amputation).

Came home and told mum and she is horrified at the prospect but I just want to get back to normal. Had a weekend in Melb about 10 days ago and went to do the Vic Market, I managed to hobble 2 lanes and then was in too much pain to continue, and by the end of the car trip home, my 2nd toe was bigger than my big toe.

SOrry for the woe is me post.

Post by: Delightful Den on November 06, 2012, 03:45:36 am
It is a hard decision fruity bbut you have battled with it for a long time and it must be getting you down.  

My DD had something similar. She had a bad break (horse stood on it) in her ring finger on her right hand. The bone got infected and wouldn't heal. After about six months she made the declension with the surgeon to go for amputation.  She is happy that she made that decision. She was able to get on with life and the surgeon did a great job. People don't even notice she is missing the finger.

Good luck with it.

So sorry to hear about toe problems.

Hope you get it sorted soon.
Not quite the same but when young had a joint removed from middle toe left foot. It was deformed and they removed joint and fused the toe.
Painful, but so much better after, noprobs since.

Good Luck and hope you feel better soon.

DoverJess, I have already had the joint removed, and a Kwire inserted, but the bones didn't fuse, so it was rebroken this year plated and screwed, but, my body rejected the plate and screws, so they were taken out, and then the staph infection.

Thank you everyone, this is a wonderful forum I am so glad to have stumbled (no pun intended) across

Terrible when you forget to remember something, luckily I was cooking and had the radio on so I had my minutes silence, had to turn my tm off though, it's not exactly quiet

I was reminded as soon as my eyes opened this morning... "mum, you must remember it is remembering day today." (Miss6)
...quickly followed by..."I'm hungry."  :-))

I forgot too but heard it in the car when i was at the egg farm.  Sat in the car with my eggs for my minutes silence and then felt so flat.

I continued onto my weekly shop, supermarket, green grocers and bakery.  Just felt miserable until I went into the bakery and the lady gave me a free coffee because someone had not come back for their order. It was only a coffee but the fact that someone I didn't know offered me something out of kindness picked up my spirits a little.

This afternoon I'm miserable again still sorting through my late brothers personal effects.  Bags of mementos he kept from holidays.   :(

That would be so hard to do chrissa but I'm sure he would be pleased you are taking the time to go through them all and not just throwing them in the bin.  It sounds like a bit of an up and down day for you - group hug  :-*

Oh Chrissa, that is an awful job. You laugh at some photos and cry at others - a real emotional roller coaster.  Thinking of you and sending lots of happy thoughts.

Thanks for your support.   It wasn't just photos, he never threw out anything so I had receipts, maps and all sorts of things including some hand written notes.  That's all sorted out now.  I've thinned it out and stored it in a box.

I've still got lots of other papers to go through but the holiday stuff was tough because you'd see a little ticket or entry receipt for something and instantly your feeling  is "I'll have to ask him about that" but then the thought then is just, I'll never get the chance.

Too sad.

Thank you all for your kind wishes.

I think I felt all those hugs.  I finished the last box of personal papers and photos this afternoon.

I just hope i didn't throw out something important.

Now I have three large keepsake boxes to put somewhere.  Guess ill be cleaning out my own cupboards shortly

Again, thanks for the support.  Believe me it helped.

I like Billy Joel too. He is a homeboy from Long Island. For a while after he married Christi Brinkley they had a house in my home town.

Many years ago he donated an old 1940's Harley og his for a charity raffle. A good friend of mine won it.

There is a really good music video of him playing "A matter of Trust" in a New York basement. 
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on November 16, 2012, 11:59:26 am
Lucky guy to win the Harley! ;)

I'll have to look up that video, but I must say Billy is much too good to play in too many basements ;D
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Delightful Den on November 16, 2012, 12:02:35 pm
It is shot like it is a practice session. After a minute Billy stops and says it is hot so they open the doors and windows that open onto the street. When they start playing again the camera's pick up people on the street looking around to see where the music is coming from. Eventually a crowd starts to form outside the building with people dancing and stuff.

Oh hello. Thanks for asking Chrissa.

I get some temp nannying from an agency, but sometimes it gets cancelled. I had a booking for Monday, then that was cancelled but may come through for the week after, and booked babysitting for tomorrow night was booked, terms agreed, then cancelled.

My DH has job applications in all the time, some times you hear nothing at all. Very frustrating. He has been helping family for last few weeks and is away in the week.

I finally sorted the kitchen yesterday, and will try to make headway elsewhere in the house this week. Hard to settle in when you expect to move again soon, but dont know where.

Had a lovely evening tonight with all 4 of us here.   :D

You better watch out too because ants can carry up to 50 times their own body weight. So if your Christamas turkey weighs 1.5kg, it will only take 3000 ants to carry it out if each ant weighs 0.1 grams ;D

And speaking of bed, did you know that a snail can sleep for three years? :o
Title: Re: The Thread killer

And a horse can sleep standing up?  :)

Wish the snail around here would sleep for 3 years...
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on November 20, 2012, 03:30:42 am
I have never understood how horses can sleep standing up ??? What if they fell over? But I guess it would be easy for them to sleep walk if they were already standing up ;D

If I find any snails in my house or garden, they will be sleeping for a lot longer than 3 years :-))

I do not like snails, had to put tabasco sauce on them to try and stop dog from eating them.  They apparently carry lung worm or something like that.  Dog just looked at snails all frothing up and then looked at me as if to say nope, don't like them with chilli  :D

Actually Amy...yes. By hand.
Also was quality control manager... thinking about it now, I was just a kid!! I started there part time when I was 12, after school and in the holidays etc. When I left school I started full time, left when I got married.  :)

How did you work when you were 12? It's against the law and has been for decades. Was this in NZ or Tassie?
Title: Re: The Thread killer

I thought the same thing Mich. The law says you must be 14 and 9 months to be employed.

Post by: astarra on November 20, 2012, 10:44:41 pm
In NZ. Dunno, the boss was my uncle and needed the help after school - to break fudge into 1cm squares for in ice-cream, and it just basically went from there. I got taxed  :-)) so I'm guessing the work law people knew about it, never actually thought about it to tell you the truth... :-))

A good sneeze is as good as ...... I reckon  ;D  Yes I did know that Hally so you have to be careful when driving and sneezing at the same time.
Title: Re: The Thread killer

Can leave a bit of a mess if you just let it go. I've been caught with people in the car, had a huge sneeze into my hand, and then have to discreetly wipe my hands on my clothes cos no tissues. Can't really put your hands back on the steering wheel like that....

The best place to sneeze if you don't have a tissue is into your shoulder or the crook of your elbow. Then you can just take off your shirt or jumper and wash it. Sneezing into your hand spreads more germs as you touch things :P

Post by: CreamPuff63 on November 21, 2012, 12:30:13 am
Good idea, but if your driving its safer in your hand   ;)

If anyone sneezes in a shop I turn around and walk the other way so I don't walk into the germ bomb.

Was just thinking CP...You mustn't spend most (if not all) of your driving time with kids on board - there is always tissues or hankies or baby wipes or spare clothes or all of the above within easy reach then!!

I have tissues in the center console of my car.. easy to reach. :)

No littlies now, and all the cars pockets and centre console ridiculously small. My tiny packet of tissues are kept in the glove box and I've got to ask someone to get it out for me  :D mind you when they were young I still never carried all those things as I like to travel lightly. A bit of spit for grazes, a tissue and drink bottle was the kit. The standard answer for most things was "oh, you'll be alright" and they usually were. When they were babies that was different tho, I carried "the bag"

But apparently it is a fact, more people named Dennis are dentists than any other profession, more Garys (I think it is) are geologists than any other profession..  :D

Pity they have such big bottoms tho!!

I'll tell you a funny story (well I think it is funny) ... When DH and I were just friends (before we started being more-than-friends) he said something about wanting a bird with long legs and a big chest...so I went to the shops and brought him a soft toy ostrich and sent it to him.  ;D  He thought it was hilarious!!
Needless to say he didn't get the long legs on his bird when we got married!!!  :-))

Totally random, but I just thought...
Who is 'Larry' as in happy as Larry?
Or 'Bob' as in Bob's your uncle?
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on December 04, 2012, 05:48:43 am
I'm glad you changed the subject astarra :-)) ;D

The phrase "as happy as Larry" is thought to either be derived from the term "larrikin", meaning a hooligan, or made after a boxer called Larry Foley won 1000 pounds in the final fight of his career, and was therefore very happy ;)

Bob's your uncle is still a mystery :)

Post by: Delightful Den on December 11, 2012, 04:33:49 am
It was a tv series about 7 people shipwrecked on an island and their attempts to get rescued.

It ran from 1964-1967 and was then repeated for many, many years.  

Yvette, Bob Denver played Gilligan (who never had a first name). The characters of "The Skipper' and The Professor" actually had names though they were only ever mentioned once (when they are rescued)  in the series.

The Skipper's name was Jonas Grumby and the Professor's Roy Hinkley. The professor wa actually a high school science teacher not a university professor.

Well done GF.  ;D You Googled it didn't you?  ;)

Thanks guys, I will pass on your thoughts,

it's one of those things they do that sometimes your better off not knowing the details of. It's not the first miscarriage but it is the first time this has had to be done, were both hoping that the bleeding will have stopped enough that they decide its not needed in the end. I won't be there with her as I need to take kiddies to football training, they are blissfully unaware.

The part that bugs me a little, is that my DW is talking to some people about it (pregnancy & miscarriage ) and I'm not really allowed to and about the one or two people I would tell I'm explictly forbidden from telling due to various things going on in their own lives. Hence my more oblique reference here, I figured someone among all of you might twig :)

Sorry to hear about the reason for the D & C Rob, you can't be in 2 places at once so I'm sure your DW is happy you are keeping the children occupied.  They certainly don't need to know these things.  Love to you both  :-* :-*

We have never had to go through such a loss Rob so I can't say I know how you are feeling. Sometimes people forget that the father also feels the loss of a miscarriage, not the same way that the mother does but they feel it all the same. 

We are here if you need to get things off your chest.

Hi Rob, so sorry to hear this news. I have never personally gone through it, but professionally as a midwife I been part of pregnancy and birth loss .   I think talking it through is certainly the best way to help ease the pain rather than keeping it bottled up. thoughts are with you.

Um, wow. Thanks everyone. I'll update properly a little later once the kids are in bed. They haven't done anything today but they are keeping my DW in over night (wouldn't even let her home to pick up stuff, so I was running around a bit) and doing two different exams tomorrow (scrapping the womb and checking the filopian tubes (spelling error) with a cam via the belly button. She'll be having a general anesthetic for it. It may be an ectopic pregnancy, oddly enough her hormones are actually up for the Doc visit last week.

Back later.

My thoughts are with both you and your wife.  You certainly have been doing a lot of running around.  Make sure you take some time for yourself otherwise you might get to the point that you 'hit a wall' which won't be good for you, your wife or your kids.

Take care Rob.

Rob, I am sorry to hear this.

I have had the miscarriage but I dont think I have had a D&C.

Its all a blur, years of ivf & my insides being cleaned out many times, dyes put though me & lots of vaginal u/s & egg collections.

None of it fun at all.

CP came from a harvest of 28 eggs, he was our 4th attempt, fresh embryos put back, 3 of them. We froze the rest of his batch, got nothing, then did several more ivfs, miscarriage & finally stopped.

TMI ???

Im certain he is H and sometimes life is hard to understand..

Who knows and what a lovely life cp has... And how lucky he is to have u and u him..

Rob I hope both you and your wife are doing as well as can be expected. We lost our first baby at almost 20wks in Hawaii whilst on a holiday. 7 years later we returned to Hawaii where we had a little remembrance ceremony. In this time we had three healthy babies and a 7wk loss.

Dads do mourn that loss as well so share with your closest friends as well as your wife. Maybe something like planting a special tree or like we do a little ceremony (we float flowers off the pier in Waikiki each visit).

I am pleased to hear that you are having her cremated Amy. We did that with our last 2 pets. When our dog died we were living in a rental and had our house on the market. DD2 didn't want to leave him buried at a house with out us.  She has him now in a little wooden box with a name plate and his photo.

DD1 had the cat's ashes returned to her in a small plastic box with a little headstone she is buried in DD1's garden in her new unit.

In a past life I was a monumental mason and I have trying to think how I could make a headstone for Sophie for you. Now that I know you are having her cremated I won't worry because I don't really have the tools or materials that I need anymore.

Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on December 18, 2012, 08:02:20 am
Were you seriously a monumental mason Den? I can't imagine you doing that :o
We had Murphy, our last dog, cremated as well, but my first dog, Floyd, is buried in the back yard. I understand why your DD didn't want to bury your dog, because I know that when I leave home and when mum and SD move, we will be leaving Floyd behind :( Mum told me that he would want to stay here, but I don't think he would if we weren't here with him.

We said  "Your name won't be here, you are still alive, thankfully." thinking ??? She said "well then how will you know where to bury me when I die then?"  :o  :D

the side effect of the mood depressant is that is suppresses the reception from the nerves as well, so it will work to lessen the pain, but............ as I am already in a whole word of pain, and pain is a mood depressor,  it can't be a good mix.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: goldfish on January 08, 2013, 05:31:09 am
Just as well you have more common sense than some of those doctors . . . have they suggested anything else?
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Bonsai on January 08, 2013, 11:48:37 am
I think maybe it was an anti-depressant the doctor might have suggested as they do have a positive effect on pain problems like fruity's (not due to them being anti-depressants, a separate effect on how nerves 'talk' to the brain). They often work a lot better than pain killers in this situation.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: goldfish on January 08, 2013, 11:58:51 am
That's very interesting to know why the drs would prescribe antidepressants in a case like this, Bonsai. I've seen some very sad cases involving reactions / side effects to anti depressants so  i must admit I'm somewhat anti.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Bonsai on January 08, 2013, 01:00:40 pm
They can work really well for some people and aren't always used at the same doses as they would be for depression. They're used less often now due to the increasing popularity of medicines in the anti-epileptic family which also have a good effect on nerve pain. Unfortunately they're really expensive in Australia which is why anti-depressants are still used.
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Dublin Girl in Oz on January 09, 2013, 02:09:14 pm
Yes I've been prescribed both anti-epileptic drugs and anti-depressants for back pain - sometimes successful! Worth a try when pain is constant I think.

Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: ~[fruity]~ on January 17, 2013, 12:03:53 am
the one suggested was actually a mood DEPRESSANT, not an anti depressant as it dampens down the signals from the nerves ( and the brain is a big bunch of nerves).

There is another that is an anti depressant but not as effective in this case.

Again I am reluctant to take either anti depressants or depressants. I guess I will just continue to grin and bear it .

She is pretty upbeat but you can tell she is not right, struggling to get any decent sleep as she wakes when she rolls over, we have to be super careful when we pick her up, the car seat belt hurts etc etc etc, but she is still smiling... just saying ouch (or oooottts as she says) a lot

She sounds like a brave little thing Fruity :D

How long do you expect it will take to heal?

I believe she broke her collarbone astarra :'(

Post by: ~[fruity]~ on January 19, 2013, 08:31:31 am
Yep Amy is right, my 22 month old (barely 10kg) little monkey princess fell off the seat of a picnic table (I was sitting with her, she was standing next to me) took a step sideways, fell and landed on her shoulder head neck, and broke her collar bone, it is quite an angular break but the bones are still aligned.

It will be very very very sore for 7 - 10 days, and then take about a month to heal after that. She is too little to have it in a sling of any kind, so it is just sort of hanging there.

Kids are super resilient aren't they? She is still carrying it somewhat, but is starting to use it in limited movements, there is a huge huge huge lump on her collar bone though.

It appears my kids are accident prone, and have had several friends say the same, but they are very active healthy kids and accidents do happen when they are out doing things rather than watching tv / playing electronic games etc.

All in all I count my family as being very blessed as while we have had our share of accidents there has been nothing major, no major illness etc etc

I think you are right fruity. It's great that your kids are active, and its all part of the learning process of what you can and cannot do. I think she will assess her surroundings more when she decides to leap  ;) good things about bones mending is they knit stronger. Not a good thing to wrap kids in cotton wool otherwise they don't think they can break.

yes happy that there'll be no more early morning wake up calls on EST saying that he's looking forward to coming home and what have I planned to cook and do whilst he's here (my brain does not function at 5am in the morning so I told him baked beans on toast and he said he'd call back later  ;D)

He has just been promoted, so when he goes back he's moving to Sydney so I think he will be looking forward to that also.  Has got someone to take over his lease in Melbourne and has a lovely apartment to move into with a friend.

Peanut butter and celery, very nice. I have never liked fairy bread, too crunchy for me. Nor sugar on lettuce although I know others who loved it. Mum wouldn't have peanut butter in the house she disliked it so much so I think I was in my 30's before I tasted it, I love it but do try to stay away from it.

But if you make your own its not so bad Cookie ;)

Happy dogs wag their tails to the right. Sad dogs wag their tails to the left.

So does that mean dogs that wag their tails from side to side are bipolar?  ;D
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Delightful Den on March 20, 2013, 02:29:03 pm
I don't know about the Irish ancestor but did you know that polar bears have black skin and clear fur. Their white colour comes from reflected light. The clear fur lets the sun through to heat up their black skin and then traps the heat in.  :)

I once set a homework task for my Year One students where they had to share a fact about the sea with the class.  One of my students shared a fact that I'd heard before but couldn't quite remember where... Later that afternoon I was reminded of that same fact by my friend Libra,  I had a bit of a chuckle (& shared it in the staffroom).  

I'm now working with university students and that for me thinking about how one might reference that source....

Here's a fun (and handy) food fact!

If you are only going to use half a capsicum, cut it widthways and use the bottom half. The stem in the top half will keep it fresh for 3-4 times as long!

 :D
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Kimmyh on May 27, 2013, 12:29:41 am
So just like us, capsicums age from the bottom up!
Title: Re: The Thread killer
Post by: Amy :-) on May 27, 2013, 12:44:53 am
I didn't realise we aged bottom-first Kimmy ???

What about grey hair? And wrinkles? They usually start around the face and hands. My feet only go wrinkly when I'm in the swimming pool too long.

Hi Robyn  ;)

A foodie tip I just learnt.....
To seperate the fat from the meat juices without alot of dishes, pour it all into a plastic bag, cut the bottom corner off and watch it flow out, stopping just before the fat starts coming out. Chuck the fat and bag out...viola! Fat free meat juices!  :D

So very true. I admit to getting a pleasure from trying to beat some of them. But then they probably change their names, so they win.   :'( :'(

That's really crook. Could it be possible that the ATO has stuffed up with similar name/tax number. Wouldn't put it past them and try to shift the blame. It happened to me when I changed names. The ATO was at fault and tried to blame it on the accountant.
