Firstly, thank you all for your sympathy - its appreciated.
Im feeling a lot better now, almost no pain at all so thats good.
He was there from about 2.30pm yesterday, and was still waiting for the Dr to look at the blood results at 5pm. Finally at 6.30 we escaped. The Dr we saw didnt really have much to say about what was causing the pain and inflammation, but luckily Ds consultant walked past on his way home, stopped for a quick chat, and said it was almost undoubtedly a flare up of G
Sadly, and predictably, Douglas isnt so lucky. He spent all yesterday afternoon in the Renal Outpatients dept (I told him I would be very angry with him if he didnt call them for advice.. he did and they said come in.. so he did!)
Today... Douglas got a lift into hospital from my parents (very kind of them) so he was there at about 10am. As far as I know, writing this, at 3.45pm hes still there, waiting to see an unspecified 2nd Dr who is a specialist (mabye in gout??) I feel so sorry for the poor boy.. I only hope his pain has subsided.
6pm.
Douglas is home.. I collected him from a rather pointless day at outpatients - his foot looks and feels much better.. phew!! The Dr has given him Cortisone tablets, which he takes till he pukes or has the runs (nasty) so hes off till Thursday next.
We have had some garlic bread for tea, and all is well with the world. :-)

Poor old D, Poor old you too.
{{{{hugs}}}}
I've just read your last couple of postings and am very sorry to read that you have both been "in the wars". I wish we lived closer. So distance hugs from us too. XX
poor old everyone. Still, glad you are better.
I think some paragraphs sort of got mixed about there.
yup, I too think you must have composed that post on Word, then did a bit of cutting and pasting before posting! ;-)
This is great info to know.
