On Wednesday my family had kind of a busy day at the hospital. My Mom was in to get a lump removed from her breast. No need to worry because her Doctor didn't feel it was anything too serious since it didn't show up on a mammogram or an ultrasound but it was definitely there. So for safeties sake they had it removed. Everything is fine.

Also on Wednesday my wife had an ingrown toe-nail removed. It had been infected for quite some time.

And for myself on Wednesday I was at the hospital for an ultrasound. I have had some swelling on the side of my neck (just behind my jaw under my ear) for quite a while. I had the ultrasound and I think it is a lymph gland that is swollen. Now I just have to wait and see if I will need to have surgery.

So what is going on in your life right now?

Boy! You guy's have been run through the 'mill' a bit of late. I hope your wife's resting that foot......nasty thing's those. I had one removed (fixed?) a few year's back, hard to believe something so small can cause such excruciating pain!
I'm also glad to hear that your mother's "lump" turned out to be benign. Must of been tense for you all, until the doctor came back with the all clear?

Years ago, I did a bit of training in the Sport's Med field, and as part of that we touched alot on the Lymphatic system. It's surprising just how often the node's get blocked. Hopefully they'll have it all sorted in no time for you, my thought's are with you.

As for what's been happening in my neck of the wood's......well, quite a bit. Well a lot more out of the ordinary, anyway's.
My eldest daughter was approached to model, for an agency here.
She's only ten, but have decided to let her try her hand at it. Basically, so long as she's happy, and is interested in pursuing it, that's fine with us.
We were at the inter-school's Triathelon with her, when we were asked. Strange I know, seem's a rather odd place to recruit from?
Turn's out, (the lady who approached us) was there supporting her son, saw Jordyn, and once the race was over, followed her back to where we were waiting. We have an appointment with her this Thursday.
But appart from that, everything is realtively normal. Still showing the dog's, busy with my studies, the horses and the kid's.....especially the youngest! There is not a "kiddie-latch" safety device, that he hasn't managed to figure out, he drives me nut's! I've resorted to tying up all the cupboard's and drawer's. But feel, it won't be long before he works those out? Maybe a small straight jacket? Anyone got one....bout a size 2 would do?

I am sure that Fat Jiffy has several left over from his childhood. He should have all the sizes a growing boy needs.

As for my Mom... the Doctor's weren't too concerned with it in the first place so none of us were either.

The wife is trying her best to keep herself off of her feet but I always find more work for her to do! It's great to be me... just kidding. She is surprised at how well her foot is feeling. She isn't ready to do kickboxing or anything but she feels pretty good.

How did you know about my childhood Rex, or were you the one who constantly flooded his own padded room.

Concidently, there were a few times I was restrained in my childhood due to seizures.

Had the same problems with the Lymphs swelling on the side of my face Rex. Was just an infection and cleared and disappered with some antibiotics.

Hope all goes well and my mother had a similar scare a few years ago with Breast Cancer and my grandmother had to have breasts removed.

Scary Stuff

Well they wouldn't the door so I had to go somewhere! That got smelly after a while.

I thought you weren't supposed to restrain someone while having a seizure? I know your supposed to keep them from getting hurt by keeping them away from anything dangerous, but not restrain them.

The weird thing is that I was never worried or concerned. I usually don't get worried or concerned about anything until I know exactly what is going on.

Oh well... I'm a man, were not supposed to get worried.

I was only about 3 or 4 and mum told me they strapped to the bed in the ambulance probably so I wouldn't convulse into something.

Just one of my many lifetime medical exploits.

Hopefully all is on the mned for you as I said my lump just turned out to be an infection and hopefully yours is too.

I have to agree though. No point worrying unless you know the facts. We leave that to the women they have it in their genes.

With me it's the "same ol', same ol'". Two days of school, four days of work, sunday off.

Not too much to go into on the medical front, though I do have some experience with those pesky ingrown toenails. I bore one for better than a year once (I was refused treatment while incarcerated, and couldn't afford it for a while upon release), and I was absolutely amazed at how big those rascals can get. (after it was cut out, I used it as a visor on my motorcycle headlight ) It's no wonder it hurt as much as it did.

Wow, some week Kenny. I'm glad that it is turning around though.

By the way; Men are stupid, please cut DL some slack.

EDIT: Just to let everyone know that this thread is for things that may not warrant their own thread. Kinda like a mini-announcement thread. Just to let members know what else is going on in your life that you may not be able to post elsewhere.

Sorry my post was so long...but it was a very long week.

Why are you putting words in my mouth if you don't mind me asking?

I'm sorry, what do you mean I put words in your mouth? Like I said men are stupid so you'll have to bear with me.

gee when was I going to be included in this conversation Men arent stupid we just say the wrong things at the wrong time So hows my life?? well theres me, Redkennypup,School,homework,APi,track,ETC.,sleep. Thats my life

Well, its been one of those weeks, or, if I want to be truthful, its been one of those month and two weeks, had a good week, and then it went back to, around January 18th where everything started.
My last week, well, I've played really pathetic cricket (trust me, thats never going to leave my brain for a long time). I bombed a Physics exam, High, but i still bombed it. Asked a girl i really liked out, but, big surprise, the answer was a no, hell, it was what I expected, so it wasn't that bad, but still . Half of my classes have been changed around, so I've gotta fit in with what the class has been doing and catch up. Not something I looked forward to when I'm in Year 11. I've stabbed myself in the leg with spiked shoes when diving, came very close to the area where it really would of hurt
On the medical area. I've been a bit light-headed for a while, I've pulled a lot of muscles (my calf muscles have been doing me some problems, along with my right arm [yeah, there goes my bowling accuracy and speed]), and thats pretty much it.
I'm either getting more high-strung, and getting ticked much easier, or people are getting more and more annoying.
As you can tell, I've been going great these past few days.

Woah, consider yourselves lucky. My day/week/month/year/life is as follows:

Sleep
APi (only recently been logging on in the morning)
School
Eat/APi
CS
Eat
CS
Sleep

And the work gets thrown in every Saturday so that I get out and talk to people. Ah, what fun it is to be me <_<

well i turned 21 on sunday and had a huge great big party on saturday. It was the best birthday ever all thanx to the main man in my life stey. And big big thanx to my mum who paid for the whole thing.

Having all my family and friends all under one roof made me appreciate just how lucky i am!!!!!


that and im back to work tomorrow after a week off and ive started my driving lessons again

My life at the moment is leading me to believe that it’s Armageddon, that it’s the end of the world! There is a serious imbalance in the natural forces of the universe!!


The worst thing ever has happened – Gid ran out of beer money and had to get a job!!!!!!!!!!!


I signed on with a employment agency for temporary work last week and spent around 15 hours last week handing out bl00dy leaflets!

Now i've got an ongoing gig at a warehouse packing Video's / DVD's and Playstation Games! Minimum wage 10am-3pm everyday day. Its more hours than i wanted to do, but it should appease Mr overdraft and Mr Barclaycard quicker.

The only problem is it means travelling for about 2 hours everyday, which is a complete pain in the a$$. Never mind, they’re building a big new supermarket about 15 mins walk away from my house and I’ve got an interview on Saturday, but that probably won’t start for a few weeks.

I could get 4-5 times more money per hour if I did some lecturing, but then there’s all the preparation and marking etc, plus I just want to switch my brain off when working and being on my feet all day is more exercise than I’m getting at the mo, so it’s all good I suppose.

Ah well, at least when I finish my PhD I’ll be earning more in a few of hours than I currently do in a week! I’ll swap putting stuff in boxes for expense account lunches and international travel any day of the week

Gid + Real Work = Something’s not right!

Thank God the situation is only temporary and then I can do what I have always been destined to do – talk crap all day and get paid wads of cash for it!
