Good Morning and Welcome to TFoF members and guests.

The father running back up the beach to his family with a surfboard??

No. I was having my tea. The video was where it showed you how to apply said Steriwhatsit up your bagel...click on "Waht can sterimar do for me?" Then click on "How to use sterimar"...

Eh ?
Thats a light weight wash, I have a big shringe that i use with warm water baking powder and salt,
Sounds bad but once you get use to it fair shifts anything,
Vicks do a spray that you fire up the hooter before you get on a plane or doing the garden, 
It sort of protects you from getting any virus, Vicks sinus soother i think, Thats where you get colds from the sinus,

One Christmas a doctor banged a stainless steel funnel up my nose and poured a bucket of the warm water salt and baking powder in it, I was constipated and it shifted that too
I paid him private too, It comes out of your eyes if you get it right What a bassa

I have to keep pulling hairs out of my nose...what's all that about?

Is that the procedure where first they stick I six inch by a eight of a inch spike up your nose and through your bone in to the sinus cavity, then slide a metal tube down the spike in to the cavity, then remove the spike from the centre of the tube and attach a hand pump to the metal tube and pump fluid through your sinus cavity to wash it out,,, feckin brutal that is, especially hearing the bone crunch as they push the spike in...

Nose trimmer, I use a lighter

Went a bit tits up first time they tried it on me, but got my owne back on the doc sticking the spike up my nose, he starts pumping saying to me to spit the fluid out in to the bowl I was holding and not to swallow it, I say there ain't no fluid to spit out, he tries pumping harder, still no fluid, thinking there's something wrong with pump he unscrews the rubber hose attaching the pump to the metal tube stuck in my sinus cavity, as he undoes the tube, bang, big explosion and blood everywhere, well mainly over his expensive looking shirt, not a happy bunny was he, recon's he'd went in to a hollow cavity and there was nowhere for the fluid to go, ended up having  to go in to hospital and have procedure done under anaesthetic where they drilled in to the sinus cavity rather than using the spike thing...

Informative forum this innit...

Bet Dermos down the chemists as we speak giving the Sterimar another go...

When you have an operation up your nose they pack it with tampax like stuff, then next day you get a big bowl placed in front of you, then they start pulling, I kid you not 50 yards of the stuff comes out and your sneezing and bleeding all over the place,
That is the worst bit ever, Feck me
Stick with the sterimar

Hairs up the nose Cam, squirt a little water in the nostril then sniff icing sugar, get a toothpick put it in your nostril twist and twist then pull hard.

No it ain't,,, last sinus operation I had, I'm brought back to the ward after the operation, lying there still a bit groggy I feel a sneeze comming on, I try not to sneeze but fail to hold it in, next thing bloods pouring out of my nostrils like a tap running, I press the button to call the nurse, first thing she does is pull the curtains around the bed then pinches my nose with her fingers to stop the bleeding, after a short period of time I feel as if I'm drowning, the blood is just flowing down the back of my throat choking me, I start coughing and spluttering, there's blood everywhere, the nurse is covered in it, the bed, curtains and floor are all covered in it, place looks like a scene from a horror movie, the nurses cannot stop the bleeding, the doctors who carried out the operation are called from the operating theatre, the miles of tampax packing is very quickly removed from my nostrils, the doctors work on me in the bed in the ward, they spray and inject something up my nose which stems the bleeding, one of them then holds up one of these tampax things as Mcqueen calls them, they look like a short lollypop stick but about two to three times thicker and are solid, he says this is going to hurt a bit it's normally done under anesthetic, he wrapped one arm around my head to hold it still while he rammed the lollypop stick thing up my nostril with his other hand,,, "hurt a bit",,, I was screaming my feckin head off, felt as if the thing was about to come out the back of my head, now that was "The Worst Bit Ever",,, but it's not over yet is it, you've got two feckin nostrils don't you, sure enough he holds up another one and says to me "well you know what's comming next", sure enough, me screaming my feckin head off again as he rams the second one in to place,,, next they inject some sort of solution in to the lollypop stick things to make them swell up, job done the doctors disappear back to the operating theatre...
So there I am lying there shattered, covered in blood, two black eyes and face all brused from the operation, the nurses pull back the curtains and start to clean up the blood from the floor, change the bedding etc, best bit,,, there were about ten of us in the ward all going for operations that day, I was first to go, I could see them all staring at me shitting themselfs thinking feck me is that what we're in for.........
Oh, and the sinus problem, still the feckin same..............................

Oh, there's a bit more to that story, next day one of the doctors who carried out the operation came round to see how I was, he says this wasn't your first sinus operation was it, I say no I've had a few, he says you've had you're nasal cartilages removed at some time, I say yip, they were removed last operation I had, mmmm he says, that's what we intended to remove yesterday,,, when we couldn't find them we've drilled/enlarged passages in your nose and sinuses to help them drain better...

WTF happend to medical records, can't the feckers read,,, plus pre the operation I had visited the hospital several times to have scans done, cameras stuffed up my nose, meetings with consultants etc where my previous sinus history was discussed more than once...

Medical Records, Our Clare had the Midwife come to see her about her Prgnancy last week, she sais to Clare, I have your medical records from the doctor, so you are type 1 diabetic and a smoker. 
Clare said I gave up smoking totally and drinking alcohol the day I found out I was pregnant. I have informed the surgery of this and it was recorded and I have never been diabetic
