  Yes, It's Been Awhile, How Have You All Been?

  greetings my fellow jwd posters.

  yes, it's been quite some time since i've graced the on-line pages here.. i think like many people, you get in here "hot & heavy" so-to-speak, and then after awhile, you either grow tired of it; frustrated and well, peoples' reasons to leave or 'take a break' are as long as a roll of charmin (not great for writing on mind you).. quite frankly, i didn't think i'd find myself posting here.

  but after a couple of years; the occasional browsing of topics and to see how a few members were doing, i don't mind opening up the door once again periodically and add my two cents worth.. there looks to be many newbies, hell.....i don't even recognize 1/10th of the people posting on here.

  A matter of blood

  by ozziepost in

  talking to a friend, an anaesthestist at one of our major hospitals, the other day and we got talking about knee sugery.

  so many people these days display the limp of people who are clearly suffering some malfunction of their knees.

  for many of our generation the effects of a sporting life (look at how many females who were netballers (basketballers) are needing knee reconstructive surgery) has left its mark.. anyway, i asked him about the matter of blood loss in knee surgery with the question: "is blood needed in knee replacement surgery?

  Anyway, I asked him about the matter of blood loss in knee surgery with the question: "Is blood needed in knee replacement surgery?"

  "Oh yes!", was his reply, "always!".

  He then described the procedure that they adopted of recirculating the patient's own blood, or more accurately the collection, filtering, and infusing of the patient's blood back into the body.

  This got me thinking about how this affected the Dubs. Surely they too have many who require knee surgery and given the medical protocol described by my friend, it seems that they face an issue of whether to accept blood in surgery or if not, then no surgery.

  Is this the case? Can Dubs accept transfused blood that is their own blood? If not, then how do they get their knees fixed?

  I'm curious - how does Trevor send a usable cheque to the USA from the UK? Surely it could only be in GBP.

  Or did he send a draft drawn on a North American bank?

  "i was shocked and saddened to hear that trevor and linda was a sham.

  it's sometimes hard not to become cynical with life and not trust anyone when this sort of thing happens.".

  Cheech:

  There's plenty of threads about it and we don't want to give him (Trevor™) any more publicity to feed his warped ego.

  Thread locked.

  No, Mary, I'm a dreamer.

  Actually, there is a Mrs Ozzie who many have met and she's just beautiful - I didn't have to make her up.

  Now I must share with you an event from my tortured past that has haunted me for the past 50 years or more.

  It all happened on my fifth birthday, it was also the day I started school.

  There I was for the very first time leaving the company of mother at home and I remember well the feeling of sheer terror as I entered the gates of the school. I turned and looked at my mother, she was smiling, yet i could feel no muscle within my face wanting to smile back.

  Then, it happened - I was attacked! a group of boys grabbed me and, twisting my jacket, they tied me to the school railings. I heard the school bell ring, everyone just seemed to vanish, and there was I on my own for the first time and tied to railings. I couldn't move, I couldn't flee from this scene of horror.

  I stayed that way until recess when I was 'claimed' by teachers and taken into the warm confines of a classroom.

  That day has haunted me ever since. I completed basic schooling in high school but have never had a happy feeling about school. I wish I could be different, I wish the memories would go away but nothing works.

  Please don't be angry with my modding actions - I'm a tortured soul. You must forgive me. I'm sorry.
