Yep, docs tomorrow morning.....can't wait (I lie well, too).

I need a builders now.........and a bowlful of strawberries and cream!

It seems to have been one helluva day all over the country today.......been working outside and knew nothing about any of it till we caught News 24 earlier.

The fresh air has caught up with me and I don't think I can stay awake much longer to see if anything else happens today.

Hello everyone, sorry not read back yet.

I wasn't hossy napped by my cardiolgist after all. He was as superb as ever. Things are as bad, but no worse than the last examinations, which I suppose, in a roundabout way is good news. He was worried that I might have had another silent heart attack, which I have had before, but nothing new showed up on the ecg. Phew. Basically I am on just about all the treatment a person could be on, as he said, what I take would floor a horse.

He did say that from all my other symptoms I might have polymyalgia rheumatica and hopes that the rheummy has done super sensitive blood tests for serum rective, esr and rheumatoid factor. As he said, something is wrong, you have an inflammatory problem, which could be a miriad of things. :shock: So, I am ok but jaded and wanting to know what else is wrong, for certain.

He talked about my DLA appeal and said it would be totally wrong and contrary to medical advice to make me go to appeal, to let him know if they call me in front of the panel and I suspect he would be on the phone to them to give them what for.

Someome pass me a big cup of T please, can I have a cream scone too.

valval

here you go bubbles

HI Val, Bubbles, ANnie (if you are still awake!) Julie, cris & anyone else I have missed

glad bubbles escaped being hossie-napped. SOunds like you got a good consultant there .... hope he can come through for you wiht the DLA appeal.

what a day - a large cuppa for me please to soothe my throat .... had pizza and garlic bread for tea & managed to scratch the back of my throat feels like the grand canyon :roll: but can't see anything much. Didn't need anything else today

Hubby has a meeting tomorrow about his pension .... company suddenly and sneakily announced on Friday that the pension fund is stuffed (there isn't enough money) and that it is ceasing from 31st May - no more contributions will be made, and despite all the money he has paid in so far (been there 25 years) they can't say if there will be enough money to pay all the pension peeps are due :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x bet the bosses will be ok though, they knew in advance that this was coming. :roll: I suppose we should just be glad that he is still in a job, cos that sounds like the next thing that might be coming :shock:

make that a large bucket of tea and any of that medicinal brandy to go in it could just be the thing to anaethsetise me tonight

hugs
Wonky xxxxx

Thanks Val, I needed that. Hi Wonky, he is a great Consultant, absolutely charming and caring, makes you feel like you are the only person he has ever looked after.

sounds ominous about the pension, is this a legacy from Gordon?

Still reeling from the news about the shootings in Cumbria.

They are like gold dust aren't they? but so fab when you find them! I saw a gynae prof for several years who would take all the time in the world to explain really tough stuff till we understood. No question was greeted with anything other than total understanding and a full explanation.

not got a clue why, but more likely bad management over the years ...... firm been bought and sold over and over by venture capitalists & RBS ...... take all the money then scarper and leave the s**t behind :roll: :roll:

Oh BUbbles I think we all are, and will be for a while ......... so glad that we know that Mell and Lynn are ok but I worry for other people I know over there who might not be so lucky, and for all those poor people who have had a terrible ordeal today.

right ..... another cuppa anyone?

You can for sure, decided that I should fuss with the bed and change sheets, so snook off and did it, then had angina, so had to stop for a while, settled a bit now, OH said "why did you sneak off and do it, ask ME", so in trouble now.
That, along with hosp visit, news of poly whotsit possibility, meds, yep, the whole chabang. By all means, you can take my trolley round, I will be needing mine in about 45 minutes.

Will be there in your bag, to keep you calm and lower your bp with whafts of lavender. Hugs back to you too. Rest well, wonder if you have white coat syndrome, a lot of people do, worth asking, they might do a 24 hour bp check, oh had his done as it was through the roof every time he went, but was perfectly normal when he had the 24 hour test done. Just a thought.

that's so true Bubbles,

my dad's BP can be through the roof when they first take it. They sit and chat about nothing and then take it again and it is always much lower .... funny how our bodies and minds work isn't it?!

OMG Bubbles!!!!!! Hope it wasn't me that gave you that idea :shock:

We ended up having almost the same conversation tonight :roll: cos I overdid it before he got home ..... but I did leave him the making of the bed - since we got the bed lever from the OT making the bed is hard work but at least I can get in and out better

right .... have got my nurses outfit on, list of meds, pen, & sundry other supplies ...... hope I will be up to your high standards

better take mine first and no popping them down the sink like last night :roll: :roll:

hugs

Its funny you should say that bubbles, I was in 20 mins last time with her and when she went out the room it started to go down and when she came back in it went back up :shock: Its strange because I don't feel any different when she's in the room or not.

Julie xx

Wonkylegs

right off to do meds rounds ...... not sure bubbles should trust me!!!

hope everyone sleeps well.

night night

No, not at all, I just cannot help myself and you know what it is like, you think, right, I am damned well going to do something. Like I said to my Consultant today, I used to run 30 bedded wards, run 8 wards at night, now I can hardly function through the fog and pain. But, as I also said, I am alive, even if not kicking quite as well. I try and tell myself that you cannot dwell on what once was. You have to try and deal with each new day. History is only something to learn from. Oh, I am all prophetic now.

Now, I hope your uniform is ironed well, no creases on Bubbles shift. Here are the pills. and the injections

bubbles

you seem to be doing ok so far, watch out for bare bums, those hospital gowns leave little to the imagination

bubbles

Waiting for my meds now, where is nurse???

Time for my last cup of T. Hugs to all, trish, baskets of hugs and love to you hun, take lots of care and get better very soon, we miss you.

Off to the in laws tomorrow, I know, I should be resting, but I will not be doing much, I will sit in their garden under the brolley and drink T. Hope everyone has a good, fair, better day. N Night and sleep well.
XXXX Bubbles, signing off for the night shift to take over.

Hi Bubbles,

So glad your not stolen! Its good to see Wonky with the meds, though..... I think my med deliverer looked slightly Little legs like even if she was wearing a freshly ironed uniform and a very nice hat (I think she has up graded to a matron....) Didn't think much of her helper either, he looked a bit familiar and I have never had my temp taken like that before.... hummmm..... not sure about all this......

Hope your feeling ok and just going to get some cakes out the over (I have been trying to use up a load of eggs :roll: ) and will make you a cuppa as well.

How you feeling? ((( ))) xx
