Getting kind of past caring Steve, but thanks.   
Anyone had a Lumbar puncture ?
Ive heard they are deeply unpleasant.
should be able to confirm in thenext day or two 

[Jimbob]

Yes, not nice things, 3 of em to hold me steady as they dont want you moving / jerking.  A horrible sensation.  A good few years ago now.
Was a nasty headache too...suspected meningitus.

Eh?!

I sincerely hope you are not past caring. There would be a large chunk of folk on here who would miss your posts. Never mind your family and friends.

It is amazing what the ‘health ‘can do now. Fingers crossed for you.

[Raeturbo]

You’ll be ok it’s just another hurdle to jump 👍

[ronnyd]

Hang on in there matey. 

[Raeturbo]

Notice I didn’t tell you to get a match this time😁

Bloody hell Albs.
Apparently, anurisums are quite common and a lot of people dont know they have had one
Lumbar puncture dont sound nice though

It came back with a vengeance last night. Ended up driving to A&E (somehow) at 2am.
Blood pressure through the roof and two brainscans later diagnosed with an Aneurysum !
not sure yet if it will involve surgery or not.
Ive had better days 🙄

Sincerely hope all goes well Albs, and a good job that you went to have it checked out.

………

I felt like that even before I was ill, but seeing the tears and pain on my family’s faces when they thought they were going to lose me made me feel awfully guilty and embarrassed to have those thoughts.    They visited every single day for the entire three months that I was hospitalised, and I saw their pain on each visit. Even my dear old Mum, riddled with rheumatoid arthritis and with Dementia, refused to die until she knew that I was ok.
Regardless of our thoughts, there’s people that actually do care what happens to us. 
Wishing you all the best Albs.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Glad to hear you got yourself checked out Albs.  Good luck and get well soon! 

[STEMO]

Who's gonna be the first to mention brain scans and Irishmen? Certainly not me, no sir 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Schucks, Im actually quite touched by all the good wishes, thanks everyone.
Apart from that arsehole STEMO, obviously. 

I messaged my boss that I had two brain scans. He replied  it doesnt matter how many times they scan you. They aint gonna find one. 

Should find out tomorrow if I have to go to Romford for surgery, or go home and manage the situation with Meds. The latter would be nice.
Im actually happy enough to be in Hospital at the moment because the hideous pain of the last week has gone.
Im off my tits on Morphine and its lovely.

That's the ticket, Albs, make the most of the morphine. It's good stuff, but try not to come out as a heroin addict. By the sounds of it, they don't think you're in imminent danger. 
You're boss sounds like my type of fella 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Hes a good lad. Looks after his blokes as much as possible while kidding senior management that lives and breathes the Company.

[Doctor Gollum]

On the plus side, at least it's not Manflu... Apparently that's still fatal

Jesting aside, that just shows that you listen to your body and, regardless of how daft you might think something is, get it checked

Try and enjoy the forced rest and hopefully they get you back up and running in no time

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Managed to talk my way out of hospital without having the Lumbar puncture.............which is nice.
Romford hospital should contact me about how to proceed. They might yet want to operate, we shall see.
May need Meds long term. Not sure.
Work could be a problem. As I work alone through the night, they wont want me back until / unless a Doctor signs to say Im going to be safe to do so.
That is a big concern.
