Good to hear that some of the ache and pains are responding to meds.

How are you doing Rev?

Quite bright and dry here, but that isn't due to last. Not even until lunchtime . If this carries on I won't need to walk Quizzie to the river, it'll come to us .


Take care everyone.

Good Morning Andy, we are both still feeling a bit whoozy, just staying in the warm, cheers for asking.

Rev.

I suspect I may have spoken too soon, seems to have had a delayed laxative effect. For two days I was on light food (toast etc) and taking the dye prep. Last night I had some of the pork adobo and rice . . . . bad move, think I should have stuck with the light food until the stuff was out of my system. I've used all the loperamide I had, not sure if my guts have settled enough to go out and get more

The good news Steve is the scan went ahead and you had a great clear out of the bowels. The downside of Loperamide is constipation plus plus or bowel obstruction is a bad side effect. I know of some doctors who believe Loperamide should be banned. Moving on …..

Trouble is Phil, I don't take loperamide because I want to, I'm on metformin, twice a day and a major side effect of metformin can be diarrhoea, with me it is. I've been tried on various versions of metformin, currently on huge slow release horse pills but they all have the same effect on me. Its a trade off, the metformin controls my sugar levels to the point that I rarely check them now, said before I could paint the reading on the meter. I'm happy to take loperamide to be able to take metformin.

Afternoon all, What a wet miserable rainy day it's been here, Leftover chicken & bacon casserole for tea.

Dreich day here, cool and overcast. Not having anything substantial to eat. My guts have kinda settled and don’t want to give them any reason to kick off again. They seem to be happy with toast and cheese so I’ll stick with that.

Missus has been out to a huge local defunct cotton mill that's now full of business outlets to see if there are any bargains going as it's black Friday weekend, Came back with nowt.

Thought you were going to say she bought the mill

Bit of a downer tonight, Scottish news led with the report that Doddie Weir is gone, MND got the better of him. My father knew him.

I spent many hours delivering cloth "pieces" to and from similar mills when I had a transport business. Those "pieces" were huge rolls of cloth, which got even heavier when wet. One job was recovering a load of "pieces" that had been in a building fire. The brigade had been damping down for days and we had to recover the shipment. Due to the weight, the single shipment that had been delivered a couple of weeks earlier, took ten collections to recover. The water ran out of the back of the lorry when going up, or parking on hills! The pieces were washed and dried at a specialist firm in Leeds and then sold on again!
