Re: Newbie here

Yes Ginny darlin', if you, like me suffer from Osteo-arthritis, WD40 sprayed on the affected joint (the can warns don't get it on your skin) does work and eases some of the pains. I have an Uncle in Ontario and he used Duck oil (Duckhams) which he said also helped his arthritis.

Thank you Ginny darlin' for your kind offer. We will chat regularly. In the meantime, I'll make your hair curl. Because of a lung problem, I'm not allowed general anaesthetic so all five operations were completed whilst I was conscious - I had an epidural and was numb from the waist down. However, whilst I felt no pain per se, I heard the surgeon sawing and hammering at my joints and felt the vibration of both the saw and the hammer. I didn't mind in the slightest.

Ginny darlin' I have a fascination with all things medical. When the surgeons did arthroscopy on my knees (prior to full knee replacements) again under epidural and the surgeon was guiding the probe by camera and it was being televised. Laying on the operating table I was able to watch him perform the procedures as I was able to see the television screen. I wasn't the least bit worried by any of it.

Re: Newbie here

Ginny darlin' needles (of all different sizes) don't worry me in the slightest - have had to have blood tests every week for the past seven years due to the fact I've been prescribed Warfarin and they have to keep adjusting the dose of that weekly. When I was due to go into hospital for operations, they're not allowed to operate if you're on Warfarin, so you stop that several days prior to hospital admission, but replace it with injections of Tenzaparin (straight into the stomach) - those hurt!!! and I finished up with a row of bruises as large as the diameter of tea cups around my waist band - very uncomfortable!!!
