RLI up-date!

[PMC]

G'day Trendsetters,

What a farker of a month I have had!

Just when we thought we had this shit-full disease by the balls, the bastard of a thing has king hit me and just for good measure has kicked me fair up the gaszots (arse) with steel capped boot on!

I have spent the last 2 weeks bed ridden due to the Crohns disease. I am sick and tired of all the medication and the constant feeling of being so tired and knackered. At present I am taking the following medications;

1. Ciprofloxacin 500 mg 2 x times per day
2. Clarithromycin 250 mg 2 x times per day
3. Clofazimine 200 mg 2 x times per day
4. Metronidazole 400 mg 2 x times per day
5. Rifabutin 200 mg 2 x times per day
6. Methambutol 400mg 1x time per day
7. Gentamicin 160mg daily injections
8. Azathioprine 100 mg 1 x times per day
9. Oxycodone 20 mg 2 x times a day morning and at night
10. Panodol Osteo 650 mg when required during the day
11. Venlafaxine 75 mg 1 per day
12. Nexium 40 mg 1 per day
13. Glucosamine 1500 mg 2 x times per day morning and at night
14. Vitamin D 1000 mg 2 x times per day morning and at night
15. Multivitamin 500 mg 2 x times per day morning and at night
16. Fexofenadine 180 mg 2 x times per day morning and at night
17. Ventolin 100 mg 2 x times per day morning and at night
18. Seretide 250 mg 2 x times per day morning and at night
19. Zolpidem tartrate 10 mg 1 per night when required

I have also just been diagnosed suffering from chronic fatigued syndrome caused by trauma and having 16 general anaesthesia operations over the last two and a half years! I piped up to the specialist “no farken kidding Einstein”

At present my arse feels like a farken dart board lounge lizards, I have had to endure 14 days straight of daily injections of 160mg Gentamicin antibiotics, believe you me trendsetters these farkers do not tickle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On top of all the medication the bloody abscesses returned to my bowel, this has caused me to be to be extremely depressed over the last two weeks. (i am even thinking of seriously consulting a farken Witch-doctor for help lol)

Three weeks ago. I suddenly a woke at 3.30am in the morning suffering from excruciating pain in the arse; “I honestly thought that a Toyota person had jammed a farken pineapple up my arse and then suddenly decided to pull the thing out quickly leaving all the pointy bits jammed into the side walls of my arse (get the picture lounge lizards!)

I said to my wife calmly, darling can you please get up and call an ambulance, I might need to go to hospital! OK, they were a few farks here and there when I made the request!

My surgeon has allowed my family and I to head down to Victoria to catch up with family and friends for Christmas, unfortunately, I am booked back into hospital on the 13th January 2014 for more bowel surgery.

Folks, I have said this many times! With-out your health, you have nothing! Please take care of yourself this festive season.

A special thanks to you all the forum members for all your well wishes and your PMs and phone calls over the last 6 weeks! I will not forget your camaraderie!

PS, my family and I would like to wish you all a “Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!”

Kind regards,

Paul (RLI)

Sorry to hear of your continuing troubles mate but that awesome attitude you carry yourself with will go a long way to seeing a successful outcome in the long run.

All the best for both you and your family Paul, over the Christmas and New Year's period. I know what you're going through as I have had a few close friends and colleagues that have suffered with Chrones. The pain that you live with has to be felt to be understood and you are a credit to all with the way you keep your sense of humour. I hope that you get this sorted and on top of it asap.

G’day Trendsetters,

Finally, I have energy to get of my arse and start replying to threads on this great forum.

Thanks kindly for your kind sentiments, to top of a shit week, whilst I was in hospital last week a hail storm struck at Woolgoolga my home town on the mid north coast of NSW and my wife’s car was extensively damaged. (It was only a month ago that Eric (Trekster) another forum member who also suffered from a hail storm that wrote off his car in Coffs Harbour.)

With all the farken bad luck I have had over the last three years, I am still trying to remember the day I must have hit a Chinese truck driver carrying a truck load of mirrors!

Anyhow, an old Chinese proverb “how does one eat an elephant, one piece at a time! Farkkk, I wish and hope this medication is doing just that, eating the farking infection one piece at a time. Time will tell!

Once again fellow Nissan Patrol forum members, thanks for your camaraderie and your kind support, my wife and family are overwhelmed by your kindness. My family and I would like to wish you all a “Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!”

PS, a special thanks to Eric (Trekster) who has travelled to my home on several occasions over the last couple of months with his lovely family to check-up on me to see how I have been copping and also phoning me once a week. Typical Eric he is always offering help if I needed it. Thanks for your friendship mate; my wife and I are very humbled by it! Farkk I think the real reason is, he is waiting for me to go leg-up so he can pounce on my Patrol. Lol

Kind regards,

Paul (RLI)

Hang on, don't tell us you don't recall buying that 'parcel' from NP99! Suppose you're going to claim you were under the influence of some sort of medication. The mods actually had to delete the thread as it may not have been exactly legal.

G'day threedogs,

2014 hopefully will be my recovery year, i will have my stoma reversed sometime next year, i also start the Hyperbaric Chamber treatment next year in Sydney in attempt to help heal my bowel. So unfortunately i will not be doing much 4x4 next year.

However, i am gearing myself up for the 2015 Anzac Cape York trip.
