  4. Stove fan

    I am obviously a bit late in replying to this! However I have the exact same stove as this, they are excellent! I bought a Valiant fan and it sits permanently on top of the stove, does it help? possibly, but not noticeably if I am being honest. I do like the technology behind them though so leave it in place 🙂 You are probably noticing the other rooms feeling cold because your main room with the stove is really hot 🙂 My wife was complaining about our living room being cool despite the stove being on, I checked the temp and it was 27oC in our livingroom!!!! She's a cauld lass!!!! 

    As has been previously said a proper desk top fan would work better but there will be a marginal cost involved and you will have the noise with the fan running all the time.

    To be honest i think the stove fan has circulated the hot air out the room and upstairs definitely feels warmer. My mrs is a cauld tattie too. Normally have it sitting 21c.

    It makes very little noise too. 

    LG yeah but i did expect the cool air to flow a bit more. Not a huge problem with the having the fan.

    funny that as i was in James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough from 9-30am that morning and didn't get back home till after 1-30pm checked with all neighbours no one had taken a parcel in and there was no card through the door..

    Well do e to Warrington. Great fight and well deserved  victory. Best fight for me was edwards victory on the whyte undercard for the WBO title. Great tactics and what emotion shown when victorious. Had a tear in my eye when he dedicated it to his mam. Its what its all about tbh

    Yep tore it badly stepping backward off a stile when shooting, then had to go about 500 yds up a very steep field to vehicle and drive to my Dad's( 3rd gear all the way in Navara), getting the muck boot off in casualty was fun, he did offer to cut it off but i am a tight one lol.

    Took about 8 weeks to heal to a reasonable condition,  keeping it warm helped with the pain,  and don't overdo things or it will take longer, my calf's look different sizes these days, and strangely apart from a bruise like someone had kicked me in the calf there was nothing else, my mate who did his had a massive bruise right down to his foot.

    I can only imagine the look as they brought the huge scissors to cut the muckboot... NNNOOOOOOOOO!!

    Don't remind me of that POP sound/sensation. Fortunately on both occasions I managed to get it bound up straight away as I always carry bandages in my 1st aid kit in the Landie.

    Novice, sounds like you are doing it to the book. Take it easy and hope it heals quickly for you.  One plus  is I have never had a problem with either leg as a result since the injury. If it heals well it should be OK.

    Should i be strapping it up too? Daily? 

     

    Will try the pernaton gel tomorrow. Mrs is a dispenser so will get it asap. Thanks

    I did mine whilst playing squash it went with a pop and I actually thought the other player had hit me with his racket. Took weeks to heal something like. With lots of ice and rest 

    Thats how i done it!

    Traction is just another form of movement, but more walking orientated. I think the basis for METH is to keep the blood, with all its healing properties, flowing into the injured area and to stop the newly healed soft tissue from becoming too stiff. 

    Another thing is if you need pain relief, no ibuprofen for first 72 hrs. 

    Disclaimer: all the above is based of conversation with physio mate, and the Internet researchof a very bored man. Please seek professional medical help if needed! 

    I was told by hospital to take ibuprofen and paracetemol. Geezo. Thanks for info.
