Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. It's clear outside, but still a bit on the chilly side.
I'm still waiting to be called back to hospital, with a bit of luck they've forgotten me! :o}

I've got a new scooter being delivered today, one with a roof and fully closes in, I still have mine, which is not closed in, so I get wet when it rains, I'll have two to play with, depending on the weather :o} I'm not sure, but I think the new one has a heater too. Excellent! :o}

i guess people have things to do smow. MInty does a collective shop for her neighbours, and Boaty may have to go back to hospital.

morning, if there is anyone left.

[emmie]

iim still here LJ, how are you this morning.

[emmie]

are you getting your AF sorted out?

[lady-janine]

Trying to. Had a phone call from a consultant at Derriford nearly 2 weeks ago and he outline 4 possibilities and said he would put it all in writing. Still waiting but I expect they are incredibly busy. Not to good at the moment as it has been giving me quite a bit of pain since las Monday. But hey, I'm still here. Takes me longer to do anything but I'm still around. How about you?,

[emmie]

gave me a scare that's for sure, AF is not good, but now i have the meds i guess that's me taken care of, though i will have to have bloods done in 3 months time. Can't fault the treatment at University College Hospital, they were very thorough, shame about being released unaided at 3am, but got home ok.

[emmie]

why is yours taking so long?

[lady-janine]

They have treated it with meds the last few years and increased dosage but still causing pain and treatment has to be in 2 counties as this one does not have facilities or medical staff and then put back as other hospital is main covid one for that county. also think I am fairly near the bottom in their treatment list. I am sure there are others in need of more important care than me.

[emmie]

but Af is quite serious, its not to be taken lightly, going on my talks with the doctor. Can lead to stroke, blood clots, not good at all

[lady-janine]

Yes I know all that. Have had several long chats with gp. Unfortunately covid took over, even though the incidence is low down here we do get a surge after every bank holiday and there are only about 8 beds for it in the whole county. 65% of the nearest village is either 2nd homes or holiday lets and in some places it is even more so so you can see the potential for increase.
