One shot Paddy 1,206 Posted January 13, 2020 4 hours ago, msc said: I'm reasonably confident the papers were alarmist and confusing "bedridden" for "bed rest". Bed ridden is approaching the end, bed rest is common sense after a serious period of ill health. Or perhaps Liz was doing her cowgirl routine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonah 180 Posted January 14, 2020 I do agree with everyone who finds it weird that a single article mentions Prince Philip being bedridden. I was only able to find another clickbaity article about that: The actual article says this: "The ill Philip, 98, has been bedridden at his cottage on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk after spending five days in hospital before Christmas." But then again, this was reported by the Sun and the Herald Sun, which are maybe affiliated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bed ridden is approaching the end, bed rest is common sense after a serious period of ill health. At the age of 98, it's very easy for "bedrest" to become "bedridden". The body doesn't have much muscle to lose at that point, so if you lose the core muscle strength to hold yourself sitting up etc, it's very hard to get it back.

The Great Cornholio 902 Posted January 15, 2020 There aren't enough sources to go off of at the moment to determine how healthy he is at this time. On one hand you have Prince Charles saying he's doing ok (and he wasn't wheeled out of hospital either which indicates to me that hes not pissing and shitting in bed pans at this time). On the other hand, he is completely out of public view and he looks like a corpse. He could very well be spending all day everyday in bed. I stand by my previous prediction that he will die annoyingly close to his 100th birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My father once gave wise advice on the plight so the elderly: ”When they start falling over, they’re fucked”. The Duke apparently did have a bad fall towards the end of last year so going by my father’s valuable insight he’s fucked and may be dead in the year! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
