For Gordie: Is your mum really a truck?

On second thoughts, maybe not. How about: Is it likely you'll return to wrestling once you hang up the footy boots?

..tish.. a personal question, my Son has to have an operation called pectus excavatum and as you can imagine I'm freaking. I'm looking for info on the success of it as the specialist told us yesterday that it's quite new. A nuss bar will be inserted. I know he'll require two months recovery time and it's very painful. I was thinking you may be able to direct me to getting a bit more info.

penelope. relatively common phenomenon. Up t’ 8:1000. caused by excessive growth of costal cartilages which cause ribs an cartilage t’ buckle an push sternum inwards. oft noticeable at birth. usually produces few symptoms. usually cosmetic thing. nuss minimally invaisive. 2 incisions 2-3cmxs each side of chest. doesn’t cut or remove cartilage. keyhole surgery so min blood loss. around 40 min procedure. steel bars inserted behind sternum which forces it back into shape. usually takes 2 or so years an then bars removed. preferred method for 5 – 15 yr olds.. post op comps can incl pneumothorax an bar displacement. patients usually aok aprox 1 mnth post surgery. like any surgery, anaesthetic risk. for pics an success research try

Thanx darlin', I'm terrified to be honest. He's hidden it from me since he was quite young. A guy thing I guess? He's 21 in June so my major concern was his age. Thanx again, I'll check out the site.

He's just recently been made Manager in his company and his boss can't give him time off until December, so we are getting a second opinion. He starts Uni part time in June and will get a break from study during this time as well. Which gives me enough time to fully check it all out. I have threatened to ground him as an alternative, though judging his laughing reaction to that he obviously thinks I'm joking. ;-)

Don't get me started on men

scnd opinion alwys good. has he bought it up b'cause of look or has somone said somethin that has affect'd him? sounds like my 7yr old when hes bann'd from surfing. i blame matthews grandparenting.

He was aware of it, and has asked serveral doctors over the years. All unbeknown to me and was told the procedure was too invastive and to live with it. He was having trouble breathing and couldn't shake a chest cold which also was causing chest pains and the gp noticed it and suggested and wrote a referral. The thing that concerned me was that the specialist has only performed 6 of these types of operations before and couldn't really give me information on long term affects, basically saying he didn't know. On the postitive, the specialist he sees operates at Prince Charles [Chermside Chest Hospiltal] and the Holy Spirit, which are top hospitals and are highly regarded. I've joined a forum in America and am badgering people for information and the parents and patients all have had successful results. I've also gone through old photo's and it really wasn't evident when he was younger. He says it didn't become noticable until he was about 12. I'm chatting with a guy who had the op at 22 and his wasn't noticable until he was into his teens either.

Was it BP's wearing his leopard print g'string that got J banned from surfing ;-)

 

[Penelope Pittstop]

Nikko, have just read your final draft and I like it.

 

[Penelope Pittstop]

RC has posted his article and it's sensational. Funny, inspiring and it's stuff like this that illustrates why we love league. As the great man said, Easts to Win !!
