bloody hell! I fell asleep die to all the meds they gave me. Sounds like I missed an epic stage [emoji26]Some of the best viewing the TdF has produced in a while!!
Now I am not ure that it is broadcasted on the limited channels at the hospital. The last channel I viewed last night just has a bunch of blokes hugging, kissing each other and getting coffee mugs (as a parting gift for the orgy they just had).... oh wait it looks like a rugby thing.
Hope that I can watch todays stage. I always miss the TT’s
Okay, seems like I have something to watch. Just a man and woman chatting about the stage
wonder if apple isn’t up to its old game of your phone is old..... get a new one!I’m having battery issues with my 6s since the upgrade.
So after spending more than a week in the hospital for the removal of another 40-50 I'm of the colon (90 in total) and 40 I'm of my upper GI Tract I was informed that I might (okay I do at the moment) struggle absorbing water on bike rides (and not even bike rides) and might just pass the water.
Is there anyone that I can go see to assist with this and to get back on the bike without killing me?
I know it is going to take some time to get back cycling, but I need something to look forward to.

Will see what changes were made when I am discharged. I only know I had mail issues on my iPad pro and the only reason I installed the beta and it fixed my mail issue.
So will wait a bit before I take my Phone to 14.
Darn....
Hospital will ban me from their WiFi if I DL this on their network
I was on the beta for a while, but saw the GM just dropped for it?
I have a very limited connection in the hospital right now. Anyone can confirm?
hi Red RobinJust checking in how you are doing today Cois?
Not so well. Due to the none use of my arse I have to wear nappies at the moment. my inflammation number is very very high. The surgeon placed me on a normal diet, and that was a huge no-no. My innards are not able to process or digest yet. My colon has no water absorption capabilities yet. So I can’t keep anything down or in me. Spoke to the dietician this afternoon and she is working out a new diet plan for me.
It still first pretty good, like when you try to sleep, and the constant loo visits are catching me.
They allowed my wife to visit me today as I fell into severe depression and I am thinking that I made the wrong choice on the reversal. So at least I got to see my pillar, even if it was for a short time.

Ran into a problem two nights back. I had to use Netflix with a VPN. The hospital's firewall blocked access to nit, and Telkom mobile stopped my contract and stole some 20GB’s of my data that I wanted to use to stream movies or a TV series.
So not I am stuck without Netflix. At least I can watch a bit of DSTV and the TdF on the small screen TV mounted far far away from me
that is correct Escapee.All the best Cois, rooting for you!
Are you still Kloof Hospital? Very close to me so please drop me a pm if you need anything
Problem is that the CoT screwed the rules on visitors.
My wife can visit me for 15 minutes today. And that is it. The next time I will see her will be the day I am discharged unless that can get it into the thick skulls of the managers at CoT to change the visitors hours from 11h00 to 19h00 and not from 11h00 to 17h00.
But that battle is being taken on today.
Good morning Hub Land!
First off, thanks for all the support i have received form my diagnosis.
The operation was a rather large operation. I have tried composing a message, but have not been able to finish a message. The leep monster is lurking in every tap of the screen.
The surgeon removed a fair bit of colon again (40-50cm’s) and another 40cm’s of my small intestines.
Doctor spoke to me yesterday, but this far sounds like the whole procedure went well. There will be a few implications for me, but it is better than the alternatives.
I have walked around quite a bit yesterday. Being stuck in bed sucks big time.
Will update with any news that I receive
09h30: got my nose tube removed and asked them to stop the morphine. My oxygen stats are great so they took me off Oxygen as well now.
I used them for a month... even less to be honest. Could not stream anything on their network.
Was fine for my wife to work on while we waited for our Fibre to be installed
I would give them a 2/10.
Support 0/10
Accounts 0/10
Speed 4/10
Streaming 1/10 (not even Youtube would work)
General browsing 7/10
We pulled 70 GB’s on them. My wife pulls 300GB per month on our fibre.
heck yeah! That sounds like a stunning idea!As soon as you are back on the bike let us know, I am sure we can organize a proper HUB SA ride with you to celebrate.
The doctor just came to tell me.....
I am on the theatre list for reversal of the stoma for tomorrow. It is good news and I need to thank each and every hubber for your support. While Dr is doing the reversal he will check for new cancer that they picked up. Might not be cancer at all.
I sure as heck can’t wait to het back on my bike again
Booked in at Kloof Hospital Pretoria. Doctor wants to do a few tests, colonoscopy and will then decide if I an viable for an operation.
At least I can watch the TdF
Lots of respect for him being able to keep it a secret.
If there are tumors involved it hurts a lot. And even with treatment you are drained of all energy.

Update.
Got the report from the MRI Trust.
Booked an appointment with the surgeon for Wednesday morning. When they heard the report and moisture behind the stoma they wanted to book me for today. But today is not the best day... and I don’t want to leave the guys at work with my work (they can’t do it anyway, so there is no hand over)
So will update as soon as I know what the Surgeon plans for me.
Took my personal PC home yesterday after a co worker screwed around with the switch in out office and blew a port on my TimeCapsule. So I made the choice that I can’t risk my personal property to be damaged because the company has the attitude that I am in the wrong and he did nothing wrong (this happened while I was in a MRI machine hunting for a few naughty cells).
So might use it for a bit of gaming at home.
Running an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with 32 GB of RAM and a GTX1070 ( used the PC for photoshop and for day to day work as I have not received a company computer since starting there in February as a contractor and June full time)
Wonder how farm simulator will work on my PC. Just have to remember to transfer my mods...
News were not good.
New growth detected at the site of my colostomy. There is a huge amount of fluid at the ileostomy. It explains why I am having problems with it.
The oncologist said we might have to wait a month, redo the blood-works as I have inflammation at the stoma and could screw the numbers.
So I am not in a good place at the moment.
ordered mine on a one day only sale. Just wish I can use it more as I had to cut back on my coffee intake (or rather milk intake)May be scoffed at, but just ordered this little item:
Just saw the oncologist. Sent for an MRI. Sitting waiting for Momentum to give authorization for the scan.... then it is me and the nemesis.
My blood work was not very good so a bit of a concern. Dr wants to find the cancer, as he is a little worried about my liver.
If the runner who "ran" into my car on Furrow Road Equestria this morning can please contact me... I want to give you a moerse klap and a head lamp, and take you to the SAPS to open a case against you for damage to my car...
How on this earth do you think someone must see you at 05H50 in the morning in pitch black darkness, with no street lights and you "running" on the wrong side of the road?
And with dark colors on as well? So please contact me. I have a Petzl light I can give you because you seem to poor to have basic common sense!.
Please guys... You are not visible at all! Look like a darn Christmas tree when you go out. At least everyone can see you then! Think of the basics that we were taught in primary school.
My dad had a operation last week on his prostate. They discovered 4% cancer cells. So they will do a MRI either later this year or early next year to give the gland a bit of healing time.
So been a bit of a nasty week at the Marais house again
Have a look on EVETECH and PCLink.
Please skip Evetech. They have huge problems regarding warranty issues. Try Wootware of another retailer and skip Evetech.
