I saw this on x.com just now. Unsure if it is true or not but worth considering.

@Garpal Gumnut Wouldn't like to be suffering with too many of these ailments.

A lot of these are due to better diagnosis e.g. Lupus.
Some of these are pretty suss. Diabetes in Australia has doubled. I suppose you would expect the USA to be worse.

If it was 1990 you wouldn't be.

Better or more diagnosis?

Just choose your health adviser carefully and avoid Northern NSW and you should be ok.

Fortunately that area is the full width of the country away, though we have a particularly nasty bug/visus jumping around here that I can attest to.

Can you prove that visuses jump?

@Garpal Gumnut Well gg, it jumped from bar**ard to me and flattened me in the process.

I am under my GP"s strict instructions not to overexert, just a couple of hours am and pm doing light weight stuff around the farm for awhile due to a slight leak my heart has.
Hot days like today are a good excuse to just be passive about everything.
Fortunately, my younger brother who is retired, well actually he never really worked hard and never broke into a sweat much beforehand, comes over once a week to do the heavy lifting,

i got home this afternoon after a 1day stint at St John's in Subiaco,
I had a procedure done to discover what the damage to the heart valve is.
The only down side to being in hospital was that I couldn't get a prove room so had a double.
Nice bloke in the next bed but pretty deaf, consequently TV was blaring, phone calls were yelling and so on.
Booked in again for Wed next week and going under the knife on Thursday, with approximately 7-8 day stay, with about an 8 week recuperation and strengthening time frame.
Not looking forward to all of this, but the other option is not so great, with the possibility of the heart expending to the point of giving up and going kar-put.
The beauty of being a private patient is I saw the specialist one day and was booked in for the next day and the first stage has been carried out.

One of my brother in laws found he had a leaky valve about 5 years ago when he was 61, due to my sister forcing him to do a medical.

He is in perfect health now. Goes cycling with his mates etc. So it's a good operation.

@Knobby22 Glad to see that your Bro-in-law is travelling well.
I am not stressing over the op, but there are 2 options how it might be done, either through the RHS ribs or cut open the front and in through that way.
This part will be determined by the surgeon from the procedure that was done on Thursday gone.

What only 8 weeks

The remnants of the anesthetic I had a couple of days ago are still in the system and making me feel increasingly tired.
So on this note I am heading off to the Slumber King for a kip.
