Fuck sake, fiancée just came back from the docs who have told her she has a suspected case of mumps.. she definitely had the vaccination.. but the docs said she didn't have a top-up/booster which made her vulnerable.

We'll see how it goes, she has a small swelling in her neck but nothing as bad as mine at the moment, I'm fucking sick of this virus now  ::)

I guess that's the disadvantage of the vaccinations as opposed to having it as a kid.

So your bits might be back in working order, but you may not get a test run to check everything's working for a while.  :P

Haven't been for a month or so, although I did go to 2 ice hockey games so this might not be the end of it  :-\

Fiancee definitely has mumps, she's been off work for a week already and her face swelled up quite a lot... and now she's also developed symptoms akin to viral meningitis which can be caught from mumps.. she's awaiting a call back from her GP at the moment, but its looking like I will have to do doctor duties again this weekend... fucking virus!!  >:(

Her friend, I don't think she has mumps, there's something wrong with her but the docs don't know what it is, a suggestion of glandular fever has been thrown about though.

If she has meningitis then take her straight to the hospital emergency department. Unless I'm getting viral meningitis mixed up with another sort of meningitis, if there is one, then it can kill.

Ah, my bad. One of the regulars in the Queen's Head years ago died from bacterial meningitis. Her and her family just thought she had a bad cold or the flu and then hours later she was dead :o Really nice girl too :(

I'd be thinking it's time to change GP.

Nothing to do with mumps.. couldn't be arsed to start a new topic - but since we were all talking about broken bones on this one...

Went out for work summer party yesterday.. boat down the thames.. with a rock band on board, free booze all night and a bbq.. was great.. but did a bit too much jumping around whilst dancing.. landed awkwardly and felt my toe next to the big one bend all the way back... once the alcohol wore off I could really feel it and now its all red and swollen.. I think its broken as its quite painful to walk..

Supposed to be doing a charity ice hockey tournament in 2 weeks and a holiday in 4 weeks (which will require a lot of walking).. not what I needed  :(

Dennis Wise played a whole match against Bolton with a broken toe on his left foot, got man of the match too.

That Man City keeper carried on in an F.A Cup final with a broken neck.


Stop being a wimp ya pussy,

Mind you, red and swollen you say? Could be internal damage. Very serious. Could lead to toxic shock syndrome. Septimcemia will set in and you'll probablyl lose the leg while they're battling to save your life.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

On the bright side, you'll be able to have a prosthetic leg made with a built in skate for ice hockey and won't have to worry about breaking bones in that foot again.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Heh, it depends on the kind of toe break you have, I carried on playing football when I broke my nose, saved a penalty after I did it too  ;)

I only said it was painful to walk, or rather a bit uncomfortable putting weight on it, not going to stop me doing my cycling, broken or not... and sure I'll be fine playing hockey too ;)
