chartpolski 24,143 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 My missus recently had a hip replacement at a Nuffield hospital. Now, I'm a great supporter and admirer of the NHS, but the Nuffield is is a different experience! Private room, two dedicated nurses on 24 hour attendance, meal menu like a top restaurant., kept informed at all times, great follow up by the surgeon, physios etc. I dread to think what the Nuffield are paid by the NHS for these procedures, but when your in severe pain, the cost doesn't matter !

iworkwhippets 12,641 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Thank you simoman, I remember you from late, and I sincerely hope you and yours are well, and I have every intentions of keeping my appointment, like ive stated its no use complaining about my condition , and not taking up the offer of help, one side of me niggles me and tells me whats the point though keith, when alls said n done I am 76, and then I look at some of these posts on here of lads out with there dogs, take for instance kevs post newkid must be an age thing or summat but it brought a tear to my eyes, its been yonks since I was out there doing what I love, must be the survival instinct kicking in cos I so much want to get back into society, as bad as it is I need to get back ive said this before , but a year or so ago, this forum, yes a simple dog forum kept me going, I whinged like f**k but no one slapped me down, im a happy go lucky chap, and its hard at the moment to keep my sanity, but like everyone else we have to endure it for a while, its the loneliness that's getting to me, no covid will get me, ive turned down the offer of dogs offered to me, living in cloud cuckoo land at the time, that would be nice company for me but no good for the dogs, at the moment I couldn't do em justice, anyway I could go on n on here so I will go make yet another fekin cup of tea, I wish you all well in these awful times 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Whips, concerning dogs? I've made it my sworn 'thing' now to simply outlive the ones I have. That is my mission. No more dogs. I'm too old to out last another pup. Simple as that. And I can't bear to think of what would befall any I left behind. So, that's my intention now. Out live these. Then I'll ask the pounds for their oldest, saddest little terriers. The ones without a hope in hell. Just waiting for the van. And I'll take them. I'll keep them warm and fed. We'll be company for each other, as we sit around, waiting to die. If I outlive Them? Fukking bonus! I'll get another one. It'll be russian roulette, for the dogs. But, at least, even in that game, there's a fair chance. I'm sure there's some heart broken, little old dog that would just fukking Love the chance to keep you company. Give you something to talk to. Share time with. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
