Hey there.
I'm Ella, Laurie's girlfriend. He's asked me to let you guys know that he is in hospital with his still undiagnosed belly problems. He might be in for a couple of days and although he does have internet access it seems that this wonderful forum is blocked for some reason. So not only is he in pain, he's mighty pissed off too.
So please email him to keep him amused.
Thanks.

I emailed him asking if they are blocking pics. I don't know how to communicate without them.

Plus the Webwit ones are good for scaring the nurses.

webwit is why gun laws were invented

He scares a lot of people.

an email from laurie, he's been able to read this thread (see below) but not see any pics (bummer). He says thanks!

"I just tried the anonamouse thing and it seemed to let me into the site. I cant see pictures though so ripster will be mute.
Can you thank everyone for the messages

All the best.

Laurie."

Sounds like hospital keyboards are not to his liking.

they're probably havent yet upgraded their keyboards to topres.

Maybe while he's in the hospital he should make the most of it and evangelize keyboards to the nurses and staff.

lam47 · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 15 June 2009, 08:12:08 »

They let me out

For now at least. I have to go back tomorrow though.
Thanks so much for all the messages and comments on here. It made me feel a lot better genuinely.
I am still not fixed but hopefully this nasty spell will speed things up a bit more.

Nice news to see there is a New keyboard available from elitekeyboards! You know I am having one of them. Whats the story with the key coating? Was it that it wares away or what I cant remember,

So happy to be home.

Welcome back, lam. I hope they figure out what's wrong and get you fixed up.

Hi Laurie.

Glad to read your own comment.

一日も早い回復をお祈りしてます。
Hope you will overcome your health problem soon

BTW, Marquardt has been sitting on my desk as my main keyboard since it arrived.
Have been fighting with its key layout....like an avatar of Manyak.

welcome back to sandy too!

This is turning into an old timey reunion (if you can call 4 months ago 'old timey'

)

Maybe all you need is a dose of Blue Cherries. Good Luck

Ella is asking Laurie right now, "just who is this MsKeyboard again and what do you mean you had a nurse who looked just like that in the Hospital??".

Good thing Majestouch didn't post his avatar or she'd really be worried about all of us.

Says the guy with Geek Girl as his avatar.

wow lmao

lam47 · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 15 June 2009, 15:18:50 »

B was very excited and curled his lips up. Its something some dogs do when very happy. They have so much emotion they dont know how to show it and it makes them kind of snarl. I have never seen B do it but the Irish in the picture above does it whenever you come back after leaving her or when you say hi in the morning. Its like a big mental smile.

Thanks for posting that pic again. Its a nice one of B looking drunk.

Wow, Laurie. Welly finally learned Photoshop just to honor you.

Nah, he didn't even use MS Paint to hide the evidence in the corner.:embarassed:

Hope they sort you out soon Laurie, I get the occasional gut ache myself and they are a special kind of unpleasant. :sick:

Well I am back from another go in the hospital.
It all went a bit wrong which is a shame as I was promised good care this time.
A ruptured vain made the drugs disperse under the skin rather than go into the vein. Because of this they were not allowed to give me any more and had to do the gastroscopy and colonoscopy without sedation.
I can honestly say its the most painful experience since the last one.
The colonoscopy also got stuck by some obstruction and they had to call in another surgeon to see if he could sort it out, unfortunately he could not so they had to stop and take the thing out.
Nothing obvious was found but on the plus side it does not seem to be related to my kidney disease which is good as I don't want that to get any worse.

More tests have been booked but for the moment I am stuck at home again on the PC.
Sigh.

I was really hoping for an answer and a solution. Is that so much to ask?
Good to be back on here.
I have made amends with Webwit

o2dazone · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 17 July 2009, 11:43:18 »

colonoscopy without sedation? that sounds like Hell
hope everything gets sorted, glad you're in typing condition at least ;p

Rajagra · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 17 July 2009, 12:12:29 »

Talk about one of those days! I'm amazed you went through both procedures without sedation.

For what it's worth, when I worked in a hospital (IT, not medical role) I was told you're better off getting injections from a nurse rather than a doctor. Nurses do them all the time and get *incredibly* good at it. Doctors on the other hand do them less often. Don't know if that's relevant here.

Maybe next time they should get you to have a few whiskeys in advance instead of the sedatives? :evil:

Wishing you well.

I always ask for the ugliest nurse to take my blood pressure to make sure it's a low reading.

Don't lie. It's really just to increase your odds of re-enacting some filthy porno you watched a week ago

xsphat · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 17 July 2009, 13:05:19 »

That might do it though ...

xsphat · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 17 July 2009, 13:18:06 »

Lam, sorry to hear you are having more problems. I hope you get better soon.

lam47 · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 17 July 2009, 17:31:34 »

Thanks guys. I can't believe how long this has been going on.
I would have said not to go ahead with them as the sedation had no effect but I have been waiting so long for the tests I didn't want to miss them. In hindsight I would have postponed it.
I am prescribed Codeine and Diazepam and they have more of an effect than Pethidine squirted under the bloody skin!
My blood pressure is always too low anyway. My resting is about 120 over 68 and does not rise a lot under stress. I don't think Scarlett Johansson In her pants could raise my BP. Wouldn't mind testing it out though
