DJ is not well

[jefferson]

We sent DJ a quick text this morning, only to discover that he's in hospital..... :oo:

Not life threatening, but some pain. Tummy problems. (I hope it was OK to post this DJ. I'll seek forgiveness, not permission, later).

I know all on the board will be hoping DJ has a quick recovery. I've left a phone message, but no answer thus far. I'll keep you all posted (assuming DJ is OK with it all).

It seems the turning Gods have something against Vicmarc owners..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[wheelinround]

DJ get well soon hope all is ok.

[watson]

OOOps.
He sent me a PM last night....so hope he's OK.

[Sawdust Maker]

Rotten way to spend Christmas. Hope he is back on his feet in no time then ...

[DJ’s Timber]

Thanks guys. Woke up at 3.00am with severe gut pains. Short story is that I've got gall stones. Will update when I get access to a PC as I'm using my mobile phone and it's a pain to type with.

[tea lady]

:oo: Bit of an extreme "how to get out of xmas dinner" thing to do. :doh: Hope all is OK! :C

[Claw Hama]

Merry Christmas DJ, hope you throw those stones mate.

[Waldo]

Hope you at least get some pretty nurses to tend to your every desire. :U

Get out quick mate so you can get back into what you'd rather be doing. :2tsup:

[Ed Reiss]

Santa wasn't nice to give you gall stones :no:

Hope all turns out well DJ ...will say a prayer for ya".

[Enfield Guy]

Best wishes and a hope for a speedy recovery from me!!!

[masoth]

Do as told and all will be well - hope the discomfort fades quickly, and that you are back in the shed soon.

[Calm]

Cheers

[Chesand]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery DJ

[jmk89]

Get well soon -and get out of hospital sooner - they're full of sick people

[artme]

Rotten thing to happen DJ. Just get well and out of there as soon as possible.

[rsser]

Can they be turned?

[Calm]

Whats DJ's fav music :D:D - hard rock
Whats DJ's fav Band :D:D - Rolling stones
Whats DJ's fav Song :D:D - rock around the clock

Yep they just keep coming DJ but i am thinking of you.

Ern not sure if you can turn them but they might make a nice inlay in a lidded box or something.

When i worked in the Abattoirs the stones from cows were worth quite a bit of money - would it be aphrodisiac or something?

Cheers

[Cliff Rogers]

Get well soon DJ.

[BobL]

All the best DJ.

One of my uncles set his stones in resin and turned a gear shift knob out of them!

[Tiger]

DJ, Get well soon.:wink:

[munruben]

Hope you are out of hospital and well again real soon DJ. Not a very nice way to spend Christmas day.

[rsser]

Nice one Calm :D

And DJ's favourite confectionery? Rocky road :rolleyes:

DJ, you can live without a gall bladder but I hope they don't have to snip it out.

A mate had kidney stones - v painful - and they blasted them in place with ultrasonic waves or something.

[Sawdust Maker]

DJ's favourite desert: rockmelon and icecream :D
and favourite eatery ...

[masoth]

Let's not forget his penchant for Roquefort, the cheese.

soth

[Gil Jones]

Hey, DJ, get well soon mate, and Merry Christmas.
Save the "stones" and see if you can turn them:)
Cheers,
Gil

[Ironwood]

DJ, all the best for Xmass, and a speedy recovery from the stones.

Hope you can have a few Stones Ginger Wines for Chrissy.

Cheers.

[masoth]

I wish this hadn't started because I'm trying to listen to the cricket - suddenly into my head popped the thought that the favourite cartoon character would have to be "Pebbles Flintstone".

soth

[Cliff Rogers]

Stone the crows... you blokes have some gall making a joke of it. :rolleyes: :D

[rsser]

Better'n diluting the beer with tears ;-}

So Nick, you were thinking maybe of the Hard Rock cafe?

[DJ’s Timber]

You guys will keep :roll:

Finally got my laptop here in the Hospital now. Got changed from No Fluids to Free Fluids this morning and had some soup, jelly and ice cream for lunch which then proceeded to flare the pain right back up, so might be here for a bit longer now :C

[watson]

Wrong fluids mate.

[rsser]

Soup, jelly and ice cream are no substitute for a proper diet of beer, chips and donuts.

No wonder you felt crook.

[jow104]

DJ, I hope they all pass away, otherwise I am sure some of the boys here will come along with their rock hammers and put the problem right.

[Grumpy John]

Hey DJ, sorry to hear about your medical situation, hope you get well soon. Remember, leave no stone un-turned :rolleyes:.

[graemet]

Hey DJ,
Hope you recover soon. I had 'em, worse than childbirth they say, but SWMBO won't have it. My doc decided to take out the gall bladder but did it with keyhole surgery, 2 nights in hospital and back at work the next week. No more pain.
You picked a lousy time for it but all us lurkers feel for you.
Cheers
Graeme

[Sawdust Maker]

...

So Nick, you were thinking maybe of the Hard Rock cafe?

yup! :D

and what's he got on his porch? - pebblecrete! :rolleyes:

Sorry DJ :B

I can only hope that they fix you up pretty quickly - pain aint good :((

[artme]

Favourite Elvis song - Jail House Rock


What's worse than gall stones? Rocks in the head.

[billym]

Get well soon DJ. Three nips of op rum should fix you up.best for 2010:)

[wheelinround]

DJ these blokes are all bastwerds stirring you up giving you Curry, Yoghurt is the answer.

Aunt had 46 of them.

Now there would be a problem does the DR allow them to group together amalgamate and form one solid mass and let them pass naturally gives knew meaning to shyting bricks.

Now something that size would make easy a doz pens ( will it be oil finish or CA) no way would I be putting that pen in my mouth :oo: :no:. Maybe a salt and pepper shaker

[Mr Brush]

I had a mate with the same problem - they used an ultrasonic doodad to break the stones up so that they would pass naturally.

Of course, from that day on he was known far and wide as "pebbledash".....:D

Get well soon DJ !!

[watson]

As its Sunday, maybe we should sing a hymn for DJ.
Everybody know the words to Rock of Ages ?

[wheelinround]

They say amber liquid dissolves the stones trouble is its Apple Juice not the other amber liquid DJ:;

DJ is a heavy Rocker :U he shakes rattles and rolls :roll:
The standing near DJ thought he was shaking the Marraca's

[Bob38S]

Not to forget that he now has new/old favourite TV program called "The Rock Follies" :D

Get well soon mate.

Regards,
Bob

Rock Follies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Follies)

Brilliant TV program :2tsup:

[tea lady]

All the best DJ.

One of my uncles set his stones in resin and turned a gear shift knob out of them!:C At least the girl friend wouldn't wan to drive the car.:rolleyes::D

As long as you don't get Moss as well. Then you'll really be stuck.
:D

[Manuka Jock]

Yep , like they say DJ , ultrasound treatment does it . The vibration shatters the stones into fragments ....... but wheres the fun in that eh :p

Chuck a big lump of wood on the lathe , crank it up till shes' rockin' , grab ya biggest roughing gouge , and have at it .
You'll blow them stones to powder in no time mate :D

[Black Cat]

I had my gall bladder removed. It was a relatively minor op and saved all those excruciating pains curled up in bed sweating while clutching a hotwater bottle to my tum and pretending not to sob. I can really recommend it if your doctor suggests it as an option. No problems since I have to say, and not terribly many scars either as they do it as a laparoscopy these days (three incisions, about an inch across. Recovery time depends on your state of health, but I was back in action within three weeks (they say six, but don't believe them).

[DJ’s Timber]

Doc today says that we'll be removing the gall bladder but they're hoping that it'd settle down first, will find out more tomorrow

[watson]

Better than what's happening to you now Mate.

TOF

[tea lady]

Doc today says that we'll be removing the gall bladder but they're hoping that it'd settle down first, will find out more tomorrow:C Oh well! It won't happen again after that.:rolleyes: That's what Groggy just had isn't it? :? He seems to have come through OK! :cool::D There might even be some gory pics here somewhere.:D

[soundman]

look at that two days and 6 pages of love.....doesn't that warm your heart.

And at a time when most people are off line for a few days.

get well DJ.

remember to ask for the stones:D

Anybody done a gall stone and resin pen:2tsup:

cheers

[dai sensei]

Gee DJ, just heard.

Know how you feel, I had to have my gall bladder out 6 months ago after passing out on the kitchen floor.

Hope your op goes well and things settle down again for you. Just remember, no heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks after - nothing over 4kgs that is.

For me it was a good way of dieting :U, nor more really rich food or excess food :no:

[seanz]

How'd I miss this?

All the best from this side of the ditch and get well soon.

[Sawdust Maker]

another favourite band: Queen singing - "We will rock you" :D

Tis the season to be jolly etc. etc.

Groggy and I were having a race to see who got their gall bladder out
first and he won.

Now DJ has entered the contest and been put on hold to see if it
settles down.

I was given two months for it to settle down and now the operation is
scheduled for February 2nd.

Victoria will be full of unwanted gall bladders at this rate.:D

And I may beat you too Allan :q was told today that they would book me in for 3 weeks time.

But a lot of this also depends on tomorrows ultrasound as one of my blood test has indicated that one of the stones has moved and that if it has as feared, they will have to send me to Box Hill Hospital to remove the stone as it could cause an infection, reason for Box Hill is because they have to go down through my mouth :o which they can't do here at Maroondah.

And not one funny line Allan:?:?

All the best mate - i personally wouldn't stoop low enough to make fun of a sick friend.:no::no:

cheers

[Groggy]

Going down by the mouth beats the alternative DJ. Just make sure he takes his watch off first :wink:

If you get in before Allan he will be mighty miffed. He has had to wait a long time for his to be fixed. I reckon that by the time Alan's is removed there will be nothing wrong with it :o

Been a few days off line, late well wishes from me. As chance wants it, a long time neighbour and friend is in your same predicament, and has told me all about the various procedures. If you can fix it with the endoscopic one you mention it's a real bonus. Good luck.

[DJ’s Timber]

Well I'm back at Maroondah Hospital after having an ERCP performed on me at Box Hill Hospital, unfortunately they were not able to get at the stone in question but inserted a stent in the bile duct which has made a big difference and I'm no longer jaundiced or in pain.

I guess I find out the rest when the doc does the next lot of rounds.

[Sawdust Maker]

That's good to hear DJ

unfortunately it's a long weekend so you probably won't see the Dr until after the golf round on Wednesday :doh:

Don't worry, at the worst that might mean that in case of operation they will not feel comfortable operating laparoscopically (3 small cuts) and prefer the tried and true (one larger cut) which is safer but requires a slightly longer recovery period. Again, best wishes.

They will be doing the operation laparoscopically at a later date to remove the gall bladder, but they can't do it whilst the gall bladder is inflammed. The stay in hospital now is about getting the pain settled but took a bit longer due to the blocked bile duct, hence the trip to BH to get the the stone removed via ERCP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoscopic_retrograde_cholangiopancreatography) but they weren't able to get at it so they put a stent in the bile duct to clear the blockage

[Sawdust Maker]

DJ

if they remove the stent later, see if you can get it - might make an interesting pen :D

[TTIT]

What a way to spend the festive season!!! :oo::~
Hope it all goes well for you DJ :2tsup:

[DJ’s Timber]

Well things have changed again :gaah:

I have been discharged and currently sitting at my folks house.

The operation was cancelled, due to some missing reports that didn't accompany my return from Box Hill after the ERCP, the Doc wasn't aware of a couple of things and said that if I was to have the Gall Bladder out tomorrow and that by chance there was still a stone in me, it could be problematic for me. So I have been booked in as an outpatient on Wednesday for an MRCP (http://www.mydr.com.au/tests-investigations/magnetic-resonance-cholangiopancreatography-mrcp) and then we'll progress from there.
