Toilet paper.

 

Wonderful stuff.

 

A couple of months ago the wife raised the possibility of getting her breasts enlarged.

She said it would cost 100,00 baht!!!

I asked if she had tried wiping toilet paper on her breasts.

She asked "will wiping toilet paper on my breasts make them larger?"

I replied "well it it worked on your arse".

You mean the mental ward?

I am not in Hospital but I am in Thailand so ........

I will be going back to the states next week so I guess you can say I will be getting out soon

But given my many mental afflictions , I cant wait to come back.

Keep an eye on the inmates will you.

use the same, , best thing since white bred.

I don't often cut myself but occasionally it happens. one wrong move and OUCH'

I normally have a  styptic stick in my shaving kit bag, a touch of it and problem solved.

I dont use it often .it is so old It might have being my dad's, and I am sixty years old. but finally I lost it and thought I would replace it.

It is such a simple thing I thought every pharmacy would have it, but much to my surprise everywhere I asked, "Mi Me",  

  I posted this, thinking that perhaps I was not looking at the right place. or that I am such a dinosaur.  people use something else today.

  Anyway going back to the states for work soon, will get some there. 

 

I have had exactly the same problems as the thredstarter and once I actually went to the emergency room at a nearby hospital and asked for help to stop the bleading on my upper lip.

Now I have brought antihemorrhagic cotton from my homecountry.

Have you considered prevention is better than cure? Maybe find a substitute for the Aspirin?

 

I don't know the reason you need to take one everyday, but It seems a better solution to try removing the source of the problem.

 

It is most effective in the middle aged with the ideal patient  in the  50-60 age group. It is only recommended for those at high risk in the 60-70 age group. After that, the benefits do not justify the risks and other medication is substituted. As the bleeding demonstrates, it can cause serious side effects in the elderly, and in some cases cause more  harm than good. This is why we often  see the  prescription of a stomach acid inhibitor medication at the same time.

 

Typically, what happens when there is a bleeder, the cardiologist will reduce the aspirin dose to the standard 81 mg  every second day. Care must be taken to avoid sudden stopping because of the rebound effect. Never ever stop taking aspirin suddenly, and it is recommended that the users  have a medic alert or other indicator on them. 

 

Aspirin is well tolerated in people, however, like every drug, there is a group that has adverse reactions. As we age, we become more likely to have the adverse reaction because our metabolisms and our bodies are not the robust  dynamic machines they once were.

 

And as a  tip, try a bit of corn starch.
