Princess of Wales

I have no idea why Kate often has plasters on her hands.
But my friends are largely sporty and rarely have plasters. They get sporting injuries like torn ligaments, sprained ankles, etc, but not cuts requiring plasters.

Are the plasters not more likely to be sport related? I'd imagine she does a lot of it.

Particularly when she had those two fingers strapped together.

😂

When I was desperate they did.go in my mouth yes, It's hard to describe. I ended up almost dead with a perforation of the stomach lining. I was only giving my experience, not commenting on Kate.

OMG!! sorry, folks! Fat fingers and brain quicker than said fat tingers!. Prostate, prostate, prostate!

The king’s prostate.
The king’s prostrate.

Learn the difference 🤣

Prostate, not prostrate. Only one 'r'.

A pp mentioned Russell's sign on the fingers because of Bulimia. I confess to having had a look at that, and it looks possible, although naturally I don't know.

Anyway, I do hope that if the medical issue is one that affects women or anyone in the case of abdominal problems, it could be used as a pointer to get checked, etc. Just like the King and his prostate.

If we are told nothing more about it, I would wager it is a complication of self harm of some sort though.

Well that's not the story is it...it's in the press because she's the future queen

#NotMyKing.

Interesting that the stock response to this phrase are words to the effect of 'well he is, and you have no choice, so get over it!' Usually said completely seriously and as though this were actually a good thing.

I don't think this is the gotchya monarchists think it is. In a nutshell, it exposes exactly what's wrong and ridiculous about a hereditary system. Opposing an entire electorate the courtesy of a vote for its own Head of State isn't quite on a par with opposing any sort of vote for half the populace, as the anti-suffragists did, but it's certainly a variation on the same theme. It's a position that, IMO, defies logic altogether.

The sort of argument upthread that 'The #NotMyKing people are twats' (how intelligent and nuanced) - or 'you know nothing about history' without any context or reason for making that claim - does go some way to explaining that position, though. As does even having to point out it that should be obvious to anyone #NotMyKing is a rhetorical statement.

I was also under the impression there's a whole discussion board for the tedium of collective meltdowns every time one of the privileged anointed sneezes.

Posh girl goes to posh hospital really shouldn’t be one of the biggest Media stories.

I had bowel resection surgery and stayed in hospital post surgery for two weeks. I was slim, ‘healthy’ (or so I thought) and in my thirties at the time.

I’d imagine anyone on private health insurance wouldn’t wait all day for a bed but I could be wrong. Mine was all nhs.

Yes - I was able to walk, wee etc. by then so there was no point in my staying in a lonely room at the hospital with only a TV for company when I could be recovering in the comfort of my own home with my husband and my sister who kindly came to stay to help me. I'm sure it would have been different if I had been living alone with no one who could support me.

😂

I mean were you really 2 nights after major surgery TWO?

Any minute now someone will be along to say they had a full hysterectomy while they were waiting for the kettle to boil in the office and were back at their desk before anyone noticed they were gone.

You people do realise her medical condition is none of your business?
All this speculation is hilarious. And the indignation of her spending 2 weeks in hospital when 'I had all my internal organs removed and I had to go home in the afternoon because they needed the bed...'
Trying to compare her experience to that of a friend/relative is pointless, esp NHS compared to private care. I expect many of you have private healthcare through your work or your OH (NB I said many, not all), so you'd be taking advantage of all there is to offer - aespecially a couple of extra days in bed post-procedure

You need to do some serious research into anatomy if you thing the King's operation is on hiss 'ball'. Prostrate totally different

I'm sorry that happened to your Mum.

I had exactly that - my ovaries were fused to my bowel - done privately, and I was still only in for two nights.

A hysterectomy due to endometriosis could be more complicated I s'pose. Doesn't the tissue grow form in the bowel and bladder in severe cases? The fact that women are discharged from NHS hospitals within days proves nothing - that's to free up the beds.

‘the hospital isn’t that fancy’

oh bless you. Even in a private hospital there a differing levels. She’s in the fancy part.

although I do agree that someone who sleeps in palaces and has servants at her beck and call, probably would rather not stay too long.

I think, and this is just my opinion, she went in for something keyhole but they had to go to 'open'.

That would explain why William was booked to do engagements and then cancelled.

As an aside I’ve never heard of Russell signs. I have a friend who I’ve been worried about for a long time and I’m pretty sure she has them unfortunately. I was wondering if I was being paranoid.
