Could be worse, you could just check the first forum, see nothing new, switch to another forum and everything is down for maintenance. Had that here yesterday 😂 |

Scary. Received this morning what I thought was confirmation of a hospital appointment, instead it was a discahrge summary from the hospital. Cause of admittance - Type 2 respiratory failure. The next line made me sit up. A CT scan suggested likely heart failure (possibly cor pulmonale) with bilateral pulmonary effusions and ascites. He had some electrolyte disturbances. I was given a Zimmer frame at the hospital - it was okay to use on flat smooth surfaces but in the real world - IMO absolutely useless. 2 wheels & 2 legs? Sent it back after a week as ordered & received a Rollstor - much better. 4 wheels, brakes & a seat if get tired or breathless. Missus loves it as it means I can go out shopping with her ( I'm guessing that's only because when seat lifted there a a nice small shopping bag attached to the frame). No matter it gives me back mobility. What a comedown from 44ton driver to Zimmers. Can't complain though - still breathing. |

Some people have performed a rather disgusting modification to those sit-on trolleys, a modification that may best be described as "for waste disposal"....... |

In reply to robsmith's message of 4 Aug 2025: Some people have performed a rather disgusting modification to those sit-on trolleys, a modification that may best be described as "for waste disposal"....... That'll teach me. DO NOT read forum posts while drinking coffee at the same time. Using another K/B. After cleaning the other one, hope it dries out & no damage done. |
