Princess of Wales

The abdominal surgery must have been pretty huge to expect a fortnight stay in hospital. I had a total gastrectomy and total vagotomy and only stayed ten days.

This exactly the kind of sound bite style shite I was talking about. There is no depth to this argument. Did the monarchy cause poverty? Or was is a combination of venal government and greedy corporations?

The reality of becoming a republic is not the magical sunlit upland you imagine it is. We’d still all be fucked. I can be certain that within five years all the assets would have mysteriously disappeared into government pockets (just like it did in the French Revolution) and we’d have won ourselves an extra bent politician as our head for state.

No thanks.

@Itwasafterallallaboutme their staff stay in adjoining accommodation. And they have other houses.

@Ratsoffasinkingsauage I’m with you 👍

In my part of the UK, we were actually very big on mobilising patients early in order to prevent thrombosis back in the 80s - we had the resources to give time to nursing patients back then, and physio, OT, etc., were readily available. Working in medical negligence these days is a real eye-opener.

I had a c-section, last child. There was a “oh what do we have here” moment as they found an ovarian cyst size of my babies head. Told them of pain all through pregnancy but I was just a stupid women to not realise it was Brixton hicks and I had a particularly low pain threshold apparently according to my male Gp 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

despite me already being open with major abdominal surgery c section for 3rd time, they dissected out the cyst leaving part of my ovary still behind. The other on wasn’t touched,

not that I needed it remaining tissue. Still had one that jogged on well into late 50s giving me a shitty menopause 🥴

so, no, they do not just whip everything out, even when it was all open and exposed for the whipping out of. Even if you don’t want more kids, and even in my case when it was a good 20 cm circumference

no wonder people kept saying do you have twins in there🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

Maybe the surgery is major or minor - we probably will never know. It’s none of my business. Maybe she needs a rest and this is the only legitimate way she can get one without people banging on about “Where’s Kate??? It’s been 6 days - it’s been 9 days - it’s been blah blah blah.”
Living one’s life as a glamorous public figure does have its drawbacks.

There are so many pictures and articles relating to her wearing plasters on her fingers going back years ( Russell's signs) that I think her Bulimia has become severe and she may have done herself some damage.

‘Well, he is my King. I'm a subject and have no choice in the matter.’

Jesus wept. The sooner this lot of ‘royals’ get downgraded down to the occasional state appearance the better.

She’s fine. She’s in there 2 weeks because she rich, it’s like a hotel so why not, and she has a zillion staff to take care of her kids. Plus, she doesn’t have a real job to go too.

she doesn’t have to leave after a couple of days because someone else needs the bed, or because she can’t afford to stay.

But hang on
You say "I think her bulimia has become severe..." as though you know she had bulimia.
Do you know she has it?
Why would bulimia explain the plasters on her fingers on that link you shared?

In MY case it was from making myself vomit.

the sun article is one of many over the years. The press have been questioning about her plasters for a long time - saying how 'accident prone' she is.
Russell signs ( cuts to hands and fingers) iare a classic symptom of Bulimia Nervosa. Go and do your own research if you are that interested. Or you could ignore themes likely explanation. I don't care . . .

If those plasters were because of bulimia they would be on her knuckles not her thumb or the lower parts of her fingers.

What does it matter? She isn’t dying.So what does
matter. Her family will be bringing her chocolates and copies of cosmo. She’ll be fine.

There are people freezing to death on
our streets. Freezing to death. We need to look where our focus is.

Toptotoe

i believe you
I hope this isn’t what she has, as that would be really sad

it’s rather depressing how the media know this and have signposted it

i also agree that the palace really could have communicated , and made less of the two weeks - better as a PP said

why would she want to?

presumably she wants to actually see her kids, especially when she gets to do all the fun stuff with them and not the hard stuff and they're mostly in school anyway.
and people will talk about it for ages and it will be all over the press for ages and she'll have 0 privacy.
and she doesn't get to be herself in there, she has to be on perfect royal behaviour all the time and everything she does will be scrutinised and commented on and judged, even if it's not sold to the press
people our age are driven crazy by being in bed for a long time, especially when sporty/active normally.

it's weird that you're talking about major surgery and staying in hospital as an aspirational thing, Munchausen much?

I look forward to your laughter when breast cancer 'joke's are made by the simpletons.

If it is bulimia related then it's all rather resonant compared to Diana's history. I don't think the royal family would have let it get so far without earlier interventions.

The speculation on this thread is really nasty.

Plasters on thumbs and fingers taped together (presumably a break/strain type injury) means bulimia? Really?

same, I got crafty though after afew years & used other things, I have no idea if PoW is bulimic but I just wanted to reply in solidarity to a fellow suffer, I hope you're healthier now

My cyst was 10cm x 6cm and turned out to be cancer. I was in hospital for two nights. And yes they whipped everything out.

Everything I posted is evidence based, backed up empirically and by research, not ideology.

Obviously just binning the Monarchy isn't enough.

I never said the Monarchy caused poverty, but they certainly entrenched wealth inequality. Most of the land dished out by William the Conqueror is in the hands of those same families.

I could go on, but I can't be arsed as you seem a bit intransigent.

Apparently it's mental health related. Nobody her age needs a 14 day hospital stay post surgery - not even in the private sector. Someone mentioned ED. It would seem more likely! Announcing Chuck's prostate right after seems like a cover up. Bizarre!

You can't be serious. LOL @Combusting @Savedpassword

The RF used the BM to drill into the public that they and the general public have a right to know what H and his family are up to, what they look like, where they live etc because they are or were working royals or because they have a title, spent tax payers' money or just because.
Charles tells us in advance he'll be in hospital for a couple of days and why but she who must not be questioned demands her subjects shut up, work and pay their taxes to fund her lifestyle! Two week stay and signed off for 2 months with full array of domestic servants after a successful operation.
If only they'll think for a minute and stop seeing themselves as unworthy commoners deserving only of the dregs of the NHS which they actually work and pay for!
