Ok - how about the medical term for a punctured lung? (Sorry, not a very nice thing to have, but the word sounds different to how it is spelt!!) 🤪xx

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

🤔would that be... Arghhhh😣☹️😰😩😖? Xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to Krazykat26]

Here I’ll help you - it’s Pneumothorax!

I quite like the spelling and sound of “oophorectomy” too! How did I get into this game??!! 🤣🤪xx

[Forgot2mention in reply to Horsewhisper]

Ok, what is the name of a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet called?

[Horsewhisper in reply to Forgot2mention]

Oooh! I know! I know! It’s “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” one isn’t it? Except I don’t know what you call it.....🧐🤔 xx

[Forgot2mention in reply to Horsewhisper]

Well done you. , but it is actually called a holoalphabetic, now see don’t know if i have even spelt that right ha ha

[Horsewhisper in reply to Forgot2mention]

Me neither! These are good brain teasers! 😃

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

Oh mate.. you're good at this!! 🤦 Xx

[Krazykat26 in reply to Forgot2mention]

Do the letters have to be in order? Xx

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

😹now it's ringing the bell!! 😖 Pneumothorax!! 😹

I like the sound of oophorectomy..but I'm sure when I find out what it is..I wouldn't be quite so keen! Just the fact that it starts with an oop..n then there's a rectomy at the end!?!? I dread to think!! 😹🌈😽😽Xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to Krazykat26]

🤣so funny! Yeah well it is a painful but only for ladies though! Xx

[eekt in reply to Horsewhisper]

How about the Sunday name for the four blokes who can't figure out my ENT problems (now, no sweary words.. )? xxx

[Forgot2mention in reply to eekt]

Idiots?

[eekt in reply to Forgot2mention]

Yes!!!!!! Thank you, though they all have very many letters after their name and title Otorhinolaryngologist… xxx

[Krazykat26 in reply to eekt]

Oh whatttt 😹 I can't even begin to pronounce that eekt 🤗

I remember when I was first diagnosed n sleep eluded me..I used to spell SCLE n hydroxy in my head over n over!! Xx

[eekt in reply to Krazykat26]

I count doctors I've seen to get back to sleep...I'm usually sound by the time I get to the Cretan who shouted 'scoliosis, you don't have scoliosis' at me back in '09...<limps off crying 'the bells, the bells'>... xxx

[Krazykat26 in reply to eekt]

Howzabout..three wise monkeys? Oh help me god!! 🙈🙉🙊🙏Xx

[eekt in reply to Krazykat26]

Sort of, three misled by a dodgy GP, and one f*ckin tw*t....sorry SurferGuy, we're all respectable middle-aged ladies, honest! xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

Oh Yes! We certainly are! I can vouch for all the lovely, decent middle-aged ladies on here who love a laugh and a joke!

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

As you are in Scotland, how about the “4 Norseman of the Otorhinolaryng-ocalypse” 😂xx

[eekt in reply to Horsewhisper]

Otorhinolaryng-ocalypse... 😂😂😂...ongoing prebycius...prebacyius...prebyacius...oh d*mn, deafness due to dithering doctors dictating de-medication... 😣...it seems to cause alleration...allitaration...hm, repeated use of certain vowels as a side effect.. xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

You may we’ll be experiencing a bout of onomatopoeia - sounds like the dithering doctors are d*ckheads! Not sure what they sound like though! 🤣xx

[eekt in reply to Horsewhisper]

Bit like Dom Raab, rather sweet and breathless, and look like their mum has tied their tie...🤣🤣🤣 xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

Hilarious! 🤣 I’ve had such a laugh this evening, just the tonic! Xx

[Forgot2mention in reply to Horsewhisper]

Glad we can help, just the tonic we all need 🤪🤪

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

Oh well our oop is very close to our poophole..so could it be a removal of both the oop n poop bits?🤔xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to Krazykat26]

Nearly! The oop bits are the ovaries! Xx

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

😹I was close then!! Not that I'd let jack the knife near my ovaries unless....??? 😣Xx

[eekt in reply to Krazykat26]

🤣🤣🤣 that could be either and oopsy or a whoopsy...or both xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

I think I’d definitely have a whoopsy and an oopsy at the thought of an oophorectomy! 🤣xx

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

😹🤦😹xx

[eekt in reply to Krazykat26]

Sssshh, SurferGuy is watching now, eek <embarrassed emoji> xxx

[eekt]

One for Horsewhisper...the word beginning with C one yells when your trusty steed rears and you land on your tailbone??🤔 xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

Coccyx!! Ouch! Landed on that a few times - made me want to do a whoopsy too! 😂

[eekt in reply to Horsewhisper]

Eye-watering! I'm still walking crab-like after nearly fifty years....and the inflammatory condition it can end in if untreated? I learnt this as a seven-year-old when my mum was diagnosed...think S! xxx

[eekt in reply to Horsewhisper]

PS coccyx is a high-scoring word for Scrabble! xxx

[Forgot2mention]

See, told you it was funny on here. Next challenge?

[eekt in reply to Forgot2mention]

Hm. don't think SurferGuy expected this since he's offline and missing all the fun! xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to eekt]

Well he’s going to have a stack of notifications to go through! And hopefully he’ll start another game...!! Oh the joys of the shielded within lockdown! Who would have thought?! 😃xx

[eekt in reply to Horsewhisper]

Oh I hope so...every XY-chromosomed is so very, very welcome.. xxx

[svfarmer]

Rymatogist - I’m rubbish at spelling 😂

[SurferGuy]

WOW! I wasn't expecting this!!!

A few points:

1) After all this, I still can't spell rhumetoglelogisisist!

2) Why do they make people who are already suffering suffer even more with illnesses that are so difficult to spell and pronounce!

3) You lot are blooming hilarious (a polite way to say you are also nuts).

4) You lot have far far far too much free time on your hands - EVEN AFTER taking into consideration lockdown!

5) You've increased my already full inbox.

[Krazykat26 in reply to SurferGuy]

😹 welcome to our world!! 😹

U don't have to be mad to be here...but it helps!! 😜

[eekt in reply to Krazykat26]

Sssh, as far as anyone knows, we're a normal family ! 🤪😂 xxx

[eekt in reply to SurferGuy]

I do hope you will join us again <in a very polite Miss Marple-type voice>🤪😂😹...thanks for the post! xxx

Thanks Sue. So far, thankfully kidney function has been normal. But I did have a lumber puncture 2 years ago and there was some damage to the kidneys. I'm on a high dose of mycophenolate which seems to be keeping things in check though
