Finally he rides again

[skischool]

Our little mascot rides again again in the 4.30 at Musselburgh,where he won last time and over the same distance of 1mile 1 furlong .

it is good to see him ride again as it is almost 2 months since he gallantly triumphed for his dodgy lung club fans,

if one were to wager i would recommend no more than an each way bet as he is up against some reasonable competition especially a horse called Luna Magic who may well show a moonie to our gallant lad if things go wrong.

Good luck to all,i shall be busy attending the walk in centre or A&E which i have put of for some time to avoid the weekend madness but my recent swallowing difficulty has developed into a full blown throat restriction and i am unable to eat any foods even pureed for some three days now and i fear this needs somewhat urgent attention though thankfully i can still sip water to stave of dehydration and my breathing appears not to be affected.

Wish us both luck and enjoy the rest of your evening .

Much Love Skinny Ski's and a well fed cat xx

[chubby2x22]

Oh skis, why delay, I wish you well and maybe put your shoes on and go tonight . Thinking of you, and yes I'll have a pound each way tomorrow. Jane

[skischool in reply to chubby2x22]

I don't want to see an on call trainee for an endoscopy whilst sitting amongst a load of drunken people in a crappy local hospital so my plans are to attend when decent staff are available ,it's safer jane but thanks for the concern. x

[Izb1 in reply to skischool]

I understand your reasons Mike and would normally agree, but you dont know what this is and it could suddenly turn serious, you might be in the best place and you could explain that you are really poorly and be put into a side room, where at least you could lie down and rest x

[skischool in reply to Izb1]

Irene i am fairly uncomfortable but stable and in control of the situation,if needs must i could blue light myself but i think i will be ok. x

[Izb1 in reply to skischool]

Ok just keep us updated x

[Izb1]

Well good luck to our little mascot lets hope he romps home.

I am very concerned to hear of your problem swallowing Mike, when was your last meal? Please let us know how you get on, hopefully they can sort this out quickly x

[skischool in reply to Izb1]

Wednesday i think.a gourmet feast of runny mash potato with gravy lol.don't worry Irene i won't disappear yet but i am losing my love handles lol x

[Izb1 in reply to skischool]

Wednesday, bloody hell Mike, get yourself to the hospital on the double, you shouldnt have left it this long. Dont worry you say, you'll give me frown marks, get going x

[sassy59]

Not bothered about the horse skis but I do care about you and your swallowing problems. Please get to hospital and it sounds awful to me.

Can’t have you wasting away.

Thinking of you and scruffy.

Love Carole xxxx

[skischool in reply to sassy59]

Cassy my love,don't worry,all under control,see my answer to Jane.

Love to you and Pete xx

[sassy59 in reply to skischool]

Ok, but do let us know how you get on please. Take care xxxx 😘

[tillie]

Wishing you both the luck of the world. x

[skischool in reply to tillie]

Thank you Tillie have a good evening. x

[RoadRunner44]

Sorry to be so ignorant Skis, would you be comfortable to tell me why you have difficulty swallowing? Do you know what they will do to help you at A and E? Thinking of you and hope your problem will be sorted.

[skischool in reply to RoadRunner44]

I'll be brief but i am not in a position to write an essay,i think either i have a restriction in the upper esophagus or whats called a food bolus,i have a condition called Barrets Esophagus but that is lower down so probably not the cause,basically i need a well controlled and skillful endoscopy to check what is happening to prevent stuff apart from liquid going down.

[Comino2]

I will wager £1 on the nose to win.Wishing you well at the hospital,Skinny skis and scruffs is too much of a tongue twister xx

[skischool in reply to Comino2]

I rather like my new handle Comino2 and i shall match your wager just for the hell of it. xx

[ledge]

Oh bless you dear heart. Get that swallowing thing sorted asap. Good luck tomorrow for an easy scope.. as for the gee gees. Thats going to take second pkace over you

[skischool in reply to ledge]

Dear ledge i hope you are not considering an each way bet on me instead LOL thank you for your concern. x

[HungryHufflepuff]

Hoping our little horsy friend does us proud. But more than that I hope everything goes well for you and something can be sorted out very quickly to improve your swallowing difficulties. I’ll be thinking of you. 🐴

[skischool in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thanks HH i could eat a horse bag right now or no maybe not thanks x

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

Please make sure you go to A&E and get it sorted. Good luck to our lucky mascot. Have a good night and take care of yourself 😊 Bernadette xx

[skischool in reply to Damon1864]

Thank you Bernadette and like catch my breath we will both be winners xx

[Kittykat2]

Take care dear skis and get there in the morning.

Don't bother with walk in centre go straight to the hospital.

I understand your reluctance over weekend my last visit was a weekend.

Very ill taken in ambulance but then sat on a hard chair 12 hrs with pneumonia surrounded by drunks and fights the whole thing, no food and alone.

Went in in the morning not seen till night then no bed available till 1 am........nightmare. .......Was very ill by then.

Please let us know you are ok and how it goes.

Can you manage clear soup at all?

Thinking of you and worrying we all care on here about you .❤️💕X

PS. £1 each way

[skischool in reply to Kittykat2]

Kittykat,Bet placed and thank you for your concern,our walk in centre has been strapped onto A & E i believe so i shall be best going through the protocol,i hate enoscopy's but one is required now but i have retained proof from a previous endo that i am safe to mildly sedate so that should help a little but i need a skilled operative hence the slight managed delay. x

[Kittykat2 in reply to skischool]

Ah ok regards walk in centre as its attatched to hosp maybe last thurs friday might have been wise you must be starving ......but im thinking of you with endoscopy not great I know but they will sort you out ....great you can have bit of sedation it will help take care xx

[Katinka46]

Dear Skis

It sounds horrendous. And you should have gone to A&E days ago. What was Scruff thinking of? Not nagging you to go? Shame on you, lazy puss.

Very anxious Kate 😟 and a frantic Zebra

Xxxxx

[skischool in reply to Katinka46]

It is rather annoying and but for the reasons mentioned to Kittykat above i would have gone Saturday morning as the restriction worsened.meanwhile the furry one does not give a monkeys what's it and is eating for both of us.

Have a good week my dear Kate and hopefully sooner rather than later you can slow down.

S & S xxx

[Hidden]

Sorry to read this Skis, you should have gone to Dyno-rod in order to get some food down there. I think you are wise waiting for A&E to clear of drunks and unsavoury types but hope the complaint hasn’t worsened as a result. Take care young Grasshopper and keep us informed. (About the horse)😉

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Hopefully the horse and i shall be grazing contentedly some time tomorrow evening dear Don. x

[Magpuss]

I'm quite shocked to hear of your swallowing problem ski's, I had no idea you were having such difficulties. Please get yourself off to hospital tomorrow asap - I don't blame you for wanting to avoid the weekend drunks but the sooner you have an endoscope the better. They're awful I know but they don't take very long and with Barrett's you really need to know what's happening. Will be thinking of you, and of course wishing you well - please let us know how you get on as soon as you can and don't let Scruff's eat all the tuna - it might be just what you fancy once you've been fixed. Best of luck😘xx.

[skischool in reply to Magpuss]

Thank you my dear Magpuss,i have a feeling it's nots associated with the barretts which was fairly low grade 18 months ago so i think maybe a bolus that needs dislodging or a constriction that needs dilating,hopefully something as simple as that maybe even an old toffee i can chew again lol but i am Hank Marvin as they say in the cockney world and the thought of that tuna with mayonnaise is very appealing.

Love ski's and a fatter cat xx

[Carnival567]

I hope they sort you out sharpish, doesn’t sound too good. Let us know how you get on xx

[skischool in reply to Carnival567]

Thanks Carnival.i am sure they will and a rather desperate cat hopes so too. thank you for your concern. x

[SquirrelsHolt]

Now that is a worry! I totally understand why you kept it to yourself ......... 🐎 but we would've found out Catch My Breath hasn't got much chance of winning tomorrow 🤑🙈!!

Seriously Ski's start your week off by getting a check up/down as to what's going on. Thinking of our mascot,sorry i mean thinking of you. 🐎😂. 🍀💞

[skischool in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Squirrels,you are now a prime suspect given that winter is approaching and should i find that a misplaced nut is to blame you can kinda guess where i am gonna come looking first and you really will need to catch your breath.thanks for your concern says Scruffs lol xx

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to skischool]

😂😂😂 seriously, all the best and hopefully there's a quite simple answer.💞

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Oh ,i seem to have a few extra 🌰🌰's .(Let's pretend it's a nut!)Will a sincere apology make amends,as sometimes I'm just not able to control my foraging for nuts ..... I've already been served with an ASBO!

(All Squirrels Borrow Other's).💞

[Lemon7]

Dear ski's thanks for the tip that catch my breath rides again. Will try another modest wager again. Loved your witty remark about his rival Luna Magic having the potential ability to show him a Moonie! Think that means an ew bet is on the cards. Hope you and catch my breath have the best of luck, you need to get some experienced medical assistance by the sound of it. Hopefully you'll be feeling a lot better soon and be able to eat properly again. We can't have you wasting away, skinny ski school and Scruffs is just too much alliteration. On a serious note though I wish you the very best. Take care of yourself and let us all know how you get on x

[skischool in reply to Lemon7]

Thank you Lemon,hopefully both i and our 4 legged racing chum will have better news later tomorrow and perhaps even share the same bale of straw. x

[Lemon7 in reply to skischool]

Hope so. Have a good night x

[Jazzkady]

I am so sorry your having problems. I really hope your up and getting ready to go in to your local hospital ASAP! Please keep your fluid intake up at least. Regards

[HungryHufflepuff]

Best wishes for today, hoping everything is sorted out as quickly as possible and not too unpleasantly. Thinking of you 🤞

[soul-123]

Best wishes today and take care.

[shouty]

[Ergendl]

Hope your trip to A&E sorts you. Will look out for our mascot when hubby puts the racing on this afternoon.

[Hacienda]

Carino I was Hoping you would Spill The Beans, oops, sorry I know you would rather eat them. Today you will get sorted out with your Mr B and Romp home in The fashion you do so well, With Scruffy always by your Side. Please let us all know your next Procedure, no doubt there will be one. I often think, Where are my Valves, will they get clogged in the mechanisms, Just a thought for your Endoscopy. Good Luck me Amigo, Mucho Besos Y Abrazos Siempre. XXXX

[O2Trees]

[Bingo88]

Love the picture skischool. Hope all goes well for you today pal ,Brian

[skischool in reply to Bingo88]

Thank you Brian,we will get there in the end,not the best day ever at the temple of pain.

[Corin1950]

Just seen your post and my hubby says it isn't worth a bet as it’s the favourite on 11/4.

He knows about these things as he spends a lot of time perusing the horses .

Hope you get the other problem sorted

Big hug

Corin

X

[skischool in reply to Corin1950]

I have a £1 on him to win,more later he's off in a few mins x

[skischool in reply to Corin1950]

Good effort but he couldn't catch the leaders in the final 2 furlongs,what did i say about Luna Magic? should have backed him x

[garibaldon]

Hi ski School,another pony riding on your mascot, only just noticed it. Nowt to loose after your last flyer. Sorry to hear your throat probs wish you all the best, you deserve it.

[skischool in reply to garibaldon]

Sorry garibaldon but he fizzled out in the last 2 furlongs and came 4th and i should have put more emphasis on the winner Luna Magic x

[Amanda3011]

Hope your getting the help you need at hospital take care xx

[skischool in reply to Amanda3011]

Thank you Amanda but things didn't quite go as i hoped x

[Amanda3011 in reply to skischool]

So sorry to hear this skischool did they not manage to do the endoscopy ? Such a horrific procedure as it is .. can they not help at all ? Thinking of you pal .. don’t worry about the horse I’m not far from Musselburgh xxx

[skischool in reply to Amanda3011]

Go and give it a good beating then no not really he tried his best with an ameteur jockey onboard. x

[Amanda3011 in reply to skischool]

Oh dear not good when I get my oxygen I will kick him up back side ! 👀

[skischool]

Bloody hell as predicted Luna Magic mooned Catch my breath and a couple of others,naughty boy but i did warn you. xx

[garibaldon]

Hi, Ski School, Not a problem, certainly no need for an apology., it done well the time before so I ain’t complaining,had a couple of wins at that meeting anyhow,

Just take care an chin up

[Louiss]
