    Really? I mean, okay, may not have been "life threatening," but it would have certainly affected your quality of life.

    Got my own thoughts about our "wonderful" NHS, but I'll keep them to myself. All to do with my missus, not me. Taking them ages to diagnose what is going on... Anyway, not for here.

    Never great going "under the knife." So it's good to hear that you are on that road to recovery Jonesey 👍

    And back home too... Always a bonus. I had six weeks of hospital food... I lost nearly two stone haha!

     

    cheers

    Yes Andy, quality of life was well on the wane. I was getting secondary pain directly in the testicle due to the increasing size of the hydrocele and putting pressure on everything it touched. This in turn made it virtually impossible to drive, difficult to sleep, walk, even going for a pee was becoming problematic.

    My thoughts at the end of today was simply that the level of care and attention I received from the staff at the Spire was comparable to that expected from the NHS in days gone by.  Sadly this isn't the case anymore and I suspect I know why, but that's for a different thread, not this one.

  2. I had an operation on my scrotum today to removed a rather large (500ml 😲) testicular hydroecele - a sac full of fluid that wasn't being absorbed back into my body.

    Coming round afterwards was wonderful - don't know what drugs I was on but felt all sort of warm & woolly without a care in the world.

    Just a shame that because it was deemed non life threatening by the NHS, I had to go private. Not a cheap procedure by any means

    Still, back home now and starting to feel hungry 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

  3. I've still got my 2 x Fostex D90's in the loft gathering dust & spiders webs

    Ever tried slaving them together for 16 track recording? 😡

    I remember buying additional hard drives for them and at that time, the onboard OS would only support discs up to 4.3Gb
