Spoke to Banger today he did not have the operation last week. When he got to the hospital they told him that being as he had a heart attack a few weeks ago he had to wait 6 months before they could do the operation. It should now be some time in February next year.

Thanks for the update Kimmy - shows you how things are that I've only just caught up!! That's frustrating for him, still nothing one can do about it I suppose.

Called to see Banger today found him in good spirits. Passed on our best wishes to him and he sends best wishes to everybody. Still not been out of the house and I think it must be getting on for two years now since he last went out. Lets hope he gets his eyes sorted out in February next year.

Banger is back in hospital. Spoke to his daughter today who told me he was not feeling well yesterday so the home help sent for the ambulance and they took him into hospital. I have asked his daughter to keep me updated.

Not the best of news Kimmy, but safest course of action I guess. Let's hope it was just a false alarm, or maybe he got up waiting for an appointment!

Banger is out of hospital only kept in one night for observation. He has an appointment for attention to his eyes on the 10th April.

Spoke to Banger today, things very much the same EXCEPT they have put his eyes operation back to June.

Banger should be going to the hospital 14th June to get his eyes sorted. He said a few weeks ago two men walked into his house through an unlocked back door and took his daughters bag containing a fair amount of money. The Police have attended and took statements but he has heard nothing further.

Good news about his eye operation. Sorry to read about the other thing though, scum bags.

Yes, good news about the eye operation, finally, but the other appears to be the way of the world nowadays I'm afraid; gone are the days when community mattered and you could leave you doors unlocked without fear.

Vexing news Kimmy, he must be wondering if his eye op will ever take place!

Old Timer I wonder if his age has something to do with it. I know he thinks it might have some bearing on it.

Post by Old Timer on Jun 15, 2017 12:41:07 GMT
It could well be Kimmy, but I don't know enough about the process to understand whether there are set medical conditions that must be met, e.g. blood pressure, etc.

Post by Kimmy on Jun 15, 2017 20:07:35 GMT
I don't think so. I can remember when my dad was ill I was told due to his age he would not get the attention that a younger person would get. If my memory serves me well I think my dad was about 6/7 years younger than Banger is now. That was quite a few years ago so I suppose it is worse now.

hope they sort him out, it's a scandal the way the system messes people around. the founders of the national health service would be ashamed of this lot.
they keep saying the economy is strong and that we are the the 5th wealthiest nation, now that really is FAKE NEWS, we need a government that puts us before the wealthy 5%, vote JC!!!

Rang Banger today, he had one eye operated on yesterday and he will have to wait to see if there is any improvement. No date fixed yet for his other eye.

he's a tough old bugger, give him my regards please dennis and tell him we are all wishing him a speedy recovery

Post by Old Timer on Jul 6, 2017 0:05:28 GMT
Yes, please tell him that we're all pulling for him and trust he'll experience sufficient improvement with his sight for them to consider operating on the other eye advisable.
