Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Tuesday and the days and nights are drawing in. I hope that you are all in good health and that your day is a pleasant one. Do you have anything planned for today?

Todays forecast for the capital is a lowly 15c, partly sunny skies.

[emmie]

apart from a phone call from a friend to see whether we can meet tomorrow, i have no plans.

[sanmac]

Good morning, Emmie. No real plans for Tuesday except to do some tidying up around the apartment. I got some good news today in that two weeks ago I was transfused with two units of packed red blood cells, and today my blood test showed that my hemoglobin level had risen from 72 to 89. That is still below normal, but the Hematologist was happy with with the rise so therefore I am.

morning Mac

[emmie]

glad that you got good news, always welcome.

[sanmac]

Did you get the results of you liver tests?

[emmie]

not sure, i phoned the GP surgery and spoke with receptionist who said that my ultrasound test for abdomen was normal, but it was my liver that was the test under question, however i am due to speak with a GP on friday and will ask him to clarify.

[sanmac]

OK. I hope that you get positive news just as I did. Jeez, we sound like a couple of geriatric codgers:)

[emmie]

we are, i have bad knees, so much so that i fear going out, and atrial fibrilliation, that means a dodgy heart rhythm. go figure.

[sanmac]

Have you tried using one of those walkers with a seat built into it so that you can sit down when you want to?

[emmie]

no, i can walk for a bit, but everything hurts, i will rest up when i can.
i do need to get out and walk, to do some exercise.

[emmie]

perhaps i am just stubborn in not using a walker, i don't even use my walking stick much.

[sanmac]

I felt a little self-conscious when I first used the walker outside (And still do a little bit), but then I figured what the hell if i need it I'll use it.

[emmie]

the drawback is lugging it up and down 4 flights of stairs. can't do it.

[sanmac]

Ouch, four flights! Yes, I can see that being a major problem.

[emmie]

yes it is a problem, its a small block, only 8 flats, so no lift.

morning all, in and out today as I have been asked to go in, someone having gone down with Covid, at least it is the local one. Woke up late after a heavily disrupted night and finishing with a near-nightmare. so it's out of the door in ten mins! Pleased to hear that your abdomen is normal, emmie, - IMO that includes the liver but best to check with your Quack.
