Good that your farmer neighbour helps with the heavy lifting Busy and that the horses will be cosy.
Just back from doc's for flu jab and foot inspection. Blood declared perfect and good for someone 10 or 15 years younger. BP healthy too. Good. X-ray needed for toe to see what's going on. Meanwhile strap it if necessary and keep walking the dogs. Prescriptions for shingles jabs which are free to over 65s. Next week then.
OH has statins cos of family history on his mum's side with irregular heart beat and his siblings are also on Warfarin and all sorts. Same genes, different diets. Apart from some naughty gouty bits inherited from his dad for which he also takes a daily pill, OH is fit and healthy. He doesn't have any side effects so is fortunate.
Love pistachios in Indian carrot cake, lightly toasted on ice cream, in biscuits. have to avoid teh salted ones as they are just too more-ish.
When do you get your blood test results Pdoc? When will you know if it's something you've picked up on your travels and how to treat it? Must be such a worry for you and your BH. Try and stay positive.
Do you chaps think DL is Lost in France?

That's been the case with my GP ... so far ........... but my BP is up as well although I'm on medication ... I'm pretty sure it's down to lack of exercise but flippin' knees and earlier foot injury haven't really allowed much activity.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Pdoc - you are among friends so get emotional if you feel the need but try and stay positive and not be maudlin. Doesn't do you any good. Have a cry, throw things, stomp. You are allowed to be angry and frustrated.
Those look indulgent Dove. Haven't got a cold but might suggest one to OH later as w e were both up early today and need a good sleep.

Punkdoc - no need to apologise as it's how you feel - you clearly have friends and allies on here. Most of us have had difficult times and its ok to say. The fantastic thing about this thread is that we can share our ups and our downs - plus the conversation always gives us escapism in the form of bonkers stories or funny quips.
I hope you and your cardiology team can find ways of making your symptoms better so you can enjoy as much as possible.
Topical for tonight - Children In Need night... just seen a very uncomfortable and cheesy 'turn' from the Countryfile team - eek!
Hooe everyone relaxing in their own way this evening.

Blood tests are just to monitor whether cardiac damage is improving or not.
Cause for problem has not been found, so probably won't be now, probably viral.
Trying to stay positive and hope for the best, the alternative being a transplant [ unlikely ], or a not very long life.
