Unfortunately I am about to be taken to hospital. I have a swollen right knee and I cant get out of bed. My temperature is up. The morphine wont stop the pain. The doctor think i have an infection. I am shaking with pain. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Bob we need you back here as soon as possible. Very frightening to think the morphine won't stop the pain. Some say pain is just a thought and while you feel it you can't be deceased. I can do without pain but my back has been screaming at me for a few days - it could have been the wielding of my very large sledge hammer to break up some concrete but I just don't know. Backs are sneaky things and I used to lift out Datsun 120 Y engines by hand and not have a problem. But please come back to us asap Bob as we have much still to work out. | ||

I am in Poole Hospital and my room over looks (3rd floor) Poole Harbour and Sandbanks peninsula and Brownsea Island. I watch the boats and things plus the main railway line to London one way and Weymouth the other way. The people who live on Sandbanks Peninsula pay £million plus for the view. I am higher up from sea level and pay nothing. Brown Sea lsland is where Baden Powell founded the Scouts. Good news is that I have gout not an infection. Gout is urine crystals in the joint. They have flushed the knee hopefully be on two feet by Wednesday is saturday today. I had nitrous oxide to quell the pain and its very effective and pleasant. I really appreciate thoughts.

Hi Bob, Thank you for the updates on your progress - hope the weather co-operates and stays fine so you can enjoy the view. Be wary of the nitrous oxide, it is also known as "laughing gas" for good reason  . Gout is very painful so I have been told and it is interesting to know morphine was not effective in making you more comfortable yet good old-fashioned nitrous oxide much loved by dentists does. Your positive thinking is the most effective thing you can do to accelerate the healing process and make next Wednesday a reality. It is hard to keep a good man down for long  . | ||

Hi Bob, thankfully it's not an infection, which is kind of good news, even if gout must indeed be painfull. I just hope you'll be out of hospital soon and can continue your recovery. Benoit | ||

I met another Shadow owner who has a white car which is used for weddings only. My car is black so I told him I use my car for funerals. The laughing gas is issued via a valve which requires me to seal with my lips and breath deep should I over do it the seal goes and the system shuts down. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Great news! Our prayers were answered. My Dad and next brother have gout. Painful and debilitating when they have attacks. I and two other brothers have not been so afflicted. Best to you for a speedy return to your home! | ||
