    Cataracts - Oops

    Hi all, I went for my annual eye check yesterday and was told that the cataract in my left eye that was 'good for at least another 5 years' a year ago has deteriorated to the extent that I now require surgery. Apparently it's on the edge of causing me to be disqualified from driving and as it...

    chopped a few bits of fingers off

    Now that's a visual to marvel at, and may I just say - well done you. Clearly there's no stopping you.

    chopped a few bits of fingers off

    It's not that I lack sympathy for you and your wounds but no-one else has asked so I think it's just up to me - are you typing with your toes? If so best keep them away from your saw or you will have to post videos and I can't stand the sight of blood. Cheers.

    Just saying, but it seems to me that if someone decides to become a troll to wind people up and creates a persona, and then another to increase the drama, then conceivably they might also create another one or more to ginger things along now and again. Then there's an 'outing' resulting in this...

    Quickie on Peel.

    The 'erm' problem can usually be resolved with one or all of the following - psyllium husks, magnesium supplement, 5 prunes twice a day, increased water intake, exercise, and for some people coffee works well. I would start small (not do all at once because the 'erm' could develop, suddenly...

    I love your jokes as they start my day on a happy note but shaving off your eyebrows could be a step too far if your work is on the serious side. Hope you are feeling better now and if you must shave in the shower then perhaps a mirror? Just saying really.

    Thanks Pipp - very helpful. And good morning/day/night to you too. Still haven't worked out the time difference but it probably doesn't really matter.

    Bit of a delay here as I lost myself and couldn't find you all. Thank you all for your welcomes and greetings. It's really nice to feel included and supported. One thing learned as I have been prowling around the forum is that many of you are dealing with so much more than me yet manage to...

    Hi Jo, Don't want to disappoint but I am often a bit wet, but thanks anyway. Also I wouldn't say that I have 11 years more expertise with this so anything you would like to share I shall be pleased to know and thank you again.

    ummmm - are you saying I'm a bit wet? Or a bit dry? Well the diet has been the 800 calories a day for 8 weeks (repeated) when Prof Taylor first did his study except I used food instead of liquid meal supplements. Now it appears to be a cross between a low carb/low calorie arrangement which is...
