An explanation of accelerated flow.
Iâm alive after my operation, which is nice.
When I came out of my operation on Monday afternoon I was in some real pain for around 10 hours or so. They gave me one of those pain button thingys which didnât really seem to do anything with the pain except make me sleepy.
One of the things that annoyed me was one of the electrical plugs attached to my drip had a bloody wall wart transformer, so it couldnât plug in all the way when I had to go to the loo and replug it. A nurse assured me that the flimsy, loose connection was still allowing the battery in the drip to charge, which seemed a tad unprofessionalâŚ
The second night in hospital was a lot better, but I still wasnât really 100%. A bit of pain but readily ignored when I was sleeping for about 18 hours out of the whole day.
Iâm taking granulated Nexium (very nice - tastes like applesauce!), Cherry Panamax syrup (tastes OK) and OxyNorm syrup (the good stuff - essentially oral morphine. Tastes rubbish though).
Now Iâm restricted to drinking about 100mL of clear fluids an hour.
The whole time I was in the hospital I was so out of it that I couldnât be bothered using my phone or my tablet (which I had expected to be using to entertain myself). Even at home itâs been a bit hard to concentrate on doing stuff on my phone. The hospital TV was pretty good, had all the free to air channels except somehow still had TV4ME listed on the EPG (I thought that had been nuked a year ago). I think the only time I seriously watched anything was when Seinfeld was on 7flix.

Great to hear! I did try and look last night to see if youâd been online, wasnât sure how long the recovery was going to take. Hope youâre fully recovered and back to action soon and the results work out well for you!

Iâm giving this thread a miss, Iâm sure I would have read all the content before in Tenâs Early Evening Woes and Network Ten post-CBS.

Replicating CBS daytime on Ten is also a recurring theme even though it is continually argued Tenâs daytime is the least of their problems.
I wouldnât recommend catching up on the last 200 comments in that topic until youâve had a few stiff drinks, littlegezzybear!

That is completely the opposite to the situation - sports in a daytime schedule gets big ratings; Ten does well in daytime despite not having any sport. Both Seven and Nine have daytime schedules and some weeks Seven shows a daytime movie. Nineâs afternoon starts with Ellen. Also remember that the weekâs daytime ratings include the weekend when sport always rates best.
What have I started! I may now have to avoid the Random Thread.

Iâd love to see the old âMedia Spy Awardsâ (which were an annual end of year thing on the old pre-Discourse forum until 2013, from memory) make a return at some point in the future. Surely I canât be the only one?

Congratulations to @ElCapitanCranky and @SamSamTV on their awards today.
There should have been a ceremony streamed live on Facebook or YouTube so that we could have had the pleasure of experiencing the joy and excitement of it all unfold.

I tried tuning in on 7plus but I think I must have been in the wrong region.
