Michael Bay! Why do I keep wasting time on his films? They suck you in with explosions and one dimensional uncomplicated characters and then let you down. Every time.

Bloody Transformers films.

Last week, the washing machine packed up in dramatic fashion.

This week, the oven exploded.

What's next week?

There is a guy at work who I know to speak to at the coffee cart etc

Just been told by someone else what his situation is

He is around 42 and has arthritis, apparently he fell off a small ladder doing some work at home, he didn't appear to hurt himself and was in work for the next 2 weeks.

Then he just collapsed at home and was taken to hospital, turns out his top vertebra in his back were damaged, they think as a result of the ladder incident and also the arthritis.

Since then he has had an operation but there hasn't been much progress, he is paralysed from the neck down and is kept incubated for most of the day.

This all happened 6 weeks ago, but his prognosis is no change from how he is now ever :(

Has a kid a bit older than mine, even though I didn't really know the guy that well this is just dreadful for him and his family

Just goes to show you never know when life can turn on you.

Goodness. What an awful thing to happen from a seemingly small incident :( It really does make you think that we all need to cherish our lives, family and friends because you never know when life may just change everything, forever.

Indeed. I had a Facebook message from a woman I used to work with. She occasionally asks for tech help with her granddaughters' laptops etc but I never mind as she's a lovely woman. When I saw I had a message from her, I wondered what it would be this time, but she was messaging me to let me know that another woman we both worked with died of a brain tumour yesterday morning. :(

When the company went tits up and we all went our separate ways, we all did the usual 'must stay in touch' promises, but in truth, I think very little of that has happened and in this case, it's now too late.

His boss told me they wake him up for updates, which are just "no change" and also when his family come to visit. He can understand everything that goes on around him but can't respond.

Not sure I would want to live like that for the rest of my life to be honest, but guess that's not a straight forward decision with family to consider.

I absolutely wouldn't want to live like that, or to inflict having to deal with that on my family.
I'd much rather be gone.

I seem to be having difficulty getting to sleep, which is annoying as I am really fucking tired.

I think there might be some conjunction of sleep apnea and reflux, and something that's making my lungs full of phlegm. Every time I start to fall asleep I jolt awake because I have either:
1 - stopped breathing
2 - started choking on lungs full of phlegm
3 - started choking on stomach acid or whatever creeping up into my throat

Might have to go see a doctor tomorrow. Time to have another try now, but I've been trying for three hours and must have had a dozen of these 'jolts'. They're probably feeding each other in some way. It's just nasty as each one feels like you're dying.

Have you tried sleeping slightly sat up? 3-5 pillows can make quite a difference. X

I remember having something like this once which I attribute to inhaling too many paint fumes. Twer unpleasant, hope you get sorted.

I have tried every position going.

Doctor said it is likely an irritation of the airways, caused by a virus or allergies or something else that my body has taken disagreement to.

So, basically, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it something that has only affected you very recently, then? Has (s)he given you any antihistamines or similar?

The other day, I noticed that my cat Nutmeg was not her usual self, and was spending a lot of time outside and not eating properly. Also noticed this morning that she'd lost a hell of a lot of weight (not necessarily a bad thing, she was always a porker) and was breathing funny.

Jem took her to the vets, and they agreed her breathing was very laboured (which is a bad thing for cats, but especially this breed) and that she had wheezing on her chest. They couldn't do a blood test or take an x-ray because she got so worked up when they tried that she stopped breathing and went blue, so they've had to call me to ask permission to sedate her so that they can try and find out what's wrong.

Thing is, in cats with laboured breathing, sedation can mean they don't wake up :(

Have asked them to do it anyway, and now I'm hoping that everything works out.

Sorry to hear that Gazchap... Well, I would be if I could actually hear anything.

I have a nay. My ears have been blocked for about a week now and today is probably the worst they've been. All I can hear in my right ear is tinitus, and nothing else. It's really, really annoying.

I went to the doctors last Wednesday but he couldn't see anything and gave me a decongestant to see if that would help. It hasn't. I'm going to go back tomorrow to see if there's anything else he can do or perhaps refer me to a specialist because I can't cope with this.
