Having a cat scan Friday. Then liver doctor next Thursday.

[Hidden in reply to Brett11]

Phew man. How come it’s been “allowed” to get like that...☹️☹️

[Brett11 in reply to Hidden]

They refuse to touch it.

[Hidden in reply to Brett11]

?? Refuse or daren’t?

[Brett11 in reply to Hidden]

Refuse.

[Hidden in reply to Brett11]

Why. - do they say?

[NotSoSerious in reply to Brett11]

So the cat is going to scan the liver, unbelievable...

[Brett11 in reply to NotSoSerious]

Yep? Don’t they do that where you live? Keep up with technology man! 😂

[AmericanDemocrat]

That’s just not fair. 😔

[Hidden]

Omg. You need to stay put until they do something, that's ridiculous!! Take care Lynne

[NotSoSerious]

Cat doesn't seem that bothered...

[GrandmaDylan]

Why have they refused to repair it? It must be very difficult for you.

P.S love your 🐱 cat

I’ve got two meow meows, two woof woofs, four fish and two guinea fowl things.

They say the risk of me dying during the operation is too high. My complaint is that they are only basing that on their text books and statistics. I’m finally going to make them look directly at MY situation and base their answers on MY scans etc.

Have they not considered surgery using an epidural? Same region as an unborn child? I witnessed this first hand when my granddaughter was born! I was honoured to be asked by my girl and her husband. Once it took effect she felt zero! I was exhausted after, pushed every push with her lol. An advanced chiropractititoner would also be able to prevent any pain. Cesareans evidence that an epidural is pain free too. If they say no, ask your GP to refer you for a 2nd opinion. I did this re my liver. Selected a hospital with a dedicated liver centre and he refered me under chose and book. Look for a surgeon experienced in hernias who uses either of the above mentioned. Worth a try? Both methods are safer than general anaesthetic too. Hope you find a yes somewhere Hazelx

[Brett11 in reply to Radnor]

I’ll ask about that next Thursday.

[Julie8]

I’ve got a tiny one but it hurts when I bend over, yours must be excruciating.

[Yuiop]

I though my Hubbys was bad! His sticks out his belly button, I would hate someone to get a glance of it, they would think it was his privates hanging out!

[Brett11]

Yeah! It gets embarrassing when I ask people if they want to see my “big one” they run away to the nearest police man 😂
