Hello idnetters

[Rik]

We can do that too. Pan fried?

[ShirkerBee]

Really hot griddle pan. Brush a bit of oil onto the steak and add some seasoning. Flash grill it on one side add a little more oil onto the other side before turning over med-rare yummmm

[Rik]

No problem. Would you like fries with that?

[ShirkerBee]

Yes please and will have some grilled mushrooms, corn on the cob with lots of butter and a bit of peppercorn sauce on the side.

[Rik]

No problem.

[Simon]

I'll have the same, but hold the corn on the cob. 

[Glenn]

Can I have chips, not fries?   We are British after all.

[Rik]

Chunky chips coming up.

[Steve]

God I am starving now!

[Rik]

You are not alone. Luckily, I have a DR 8oz burger with my name on it downstairs.

You lot make me sick !!!!!!!!
Following tum probs for quite a time I've just had a tube rammed down my throat (2nd time) and the following diagnosis has been revealed.
1. hiatal hernia
2. Stomach ulcer
3. oesophagal spasm (severe)
4. Inflamed tum and oesophagus.
This means no consumption of any food that I like but I may partake of as many rice puddings and milk dishes as I wish.
Anyway, I now hate steak and chips on principle!!!!

Guess I will have your steak and chips then, can't let it go to waste.

Rick, I have a work colleague with the same problem, he is due to have a probe fitted, to monitor his swallow, it needs to be in place for at least 24hrs. Then they will operate on the condition he has had since birth, he is now 46.

Bit partial to a Rib eye myself

Oh bu**er that sounds unpleasant. Hope things get resolved for you soon.

Hope you're sorted soon, Rick. I've had to revise what I am allowed to like, so I know a bit of how you feel.

[sobranie]

Thanks all for your thoughts.
I've spent the last 2 months sitting up at night. Tried everything (including raising the bed end) to no avail. I'm normally not one to moan but (a) I'd love a good nights sleep and (b) I could tear the heart out of anyone that annoys/disagrees with me.
The big plus is that I now know what the prob(s) are and will plague my local GP to sort things out.
I also know which IDNetters can't sleep at night too!!!

[Rik]

I've also done the sit up, Rick. The only suggestion I can make is invest in a comfortable recliner, for me - albeit for different symptoms, it worked a treat (and still does).

[Simon]

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Rick.  Hope things improve for you soon. 

[D-Dan]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - Bacon. Sorry - I have no steak in the fridge.

As for diets, I'm under strict orders - cut down on sugar (T1 diabetic), cut down on salt (High BP), Stop smoking (When people stop telling me to), cut out alcohol (as if!).

If I'd listen to the doctors, I could live to be 100 - a long, miserable, boring life!

Or I can enjoy it while I'm here. IMO - a short and happy one is the better option.

Edit: Let's make "Short" into "Shorter"

That'll be me, I'm usually around most of the night   It's no consolation I know but I can sympathise with stomach problems. I'm about to go under the knife to have my gallbladder removed, it took years to arrive at this point and finally get it diagnosed. I've been on a diet of boiled rice and strangely coloured gravy for longer than I care to remember while watching the rest of the Netters talking about feasts fit for a king  

[Lona]

I'm usually around most of the night and the morning as I am an insomniac.

I love listening to all your aches and pains and it makes me feel so well considering I have a dickie heart.

That reminds me of the Monty Python song, 'Always look on the bright side of life'

Time for a new forum section methinks.......... Crocks Corner
