  • Hello again,  thanks for all the good wishes.  It's so mild here we had lunch sitting out on the patio. Normally a RTBC, but at this time of year it just feels wrong.  At the risk of being drummed out of the group  I just had ndn's gardeners do my grass front and back.  Hopefully by the time it needs doing again I will be up to doing it.
    Good to see you @Pat E looking forward to some of your lovely big sky pictures again. 
    @floralies, sounds like you are in the poorly gang too, let's hope we are all OK again soon

    Put your feet up @Allotment Boy  … it’s a useful skill that you should keep honing in case you forget how to do it. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it 😉

    An update, lovely forkers..it wasnt cardiac related, possibly gall bladder....but he had a scan a while back,no stones. No where near the place where I had pain,I had both acute cholecystitis and appendicitis, when I was 20,(fair, yes, but not fat and forty,at the same time, the most ENORMOUS scar,top to bottom. I didn't have a junk food diet, mostly home grown and fish caught by father, pigeon and rabbit from next door neighbour. I used to throw up a lot as a child.... school milk sitting hours in the sun. Some of his bloods were slightly "off". Theory is now a GP appointment. Cannot fault 111 operator,2 lovely paramedics, hospital staff.

    Well that’s a lot better news than it could’ve been @Nanny Beach@Hostafan1 had awful painful
    episodes until he was diagnosed and his gall bladder removed. Hopefully they’ll decide to whip your OH’s out soon and spare him more pain 🤞 
    I hope you get a really restful night tonight … and an extra hour of it too 🤗

    So glad it wasn’t anything cardiac, Nanny Beach! Gall bladders are excruciating when they misbehave, as I remember vividly. A friend of ours  is currently suffering recurring episodes, but they aren’t keen to remove his. The low fat diet he is supposed to be on I said causing him much annoyance, though.
    So pleased he was seen quickly and looked after so well. Had horrid visions of him parked outside in an ambulance, while the paramedics and A and E staff are run ragged, and wondering if there are vacancies for shelfstackers in the local supermarket.
    Glad to hear that your relaxing break in the sun has started well, Hostafan. 
    Allotment Boy, very timely that you were able to get some help with the grass cutting. Take it easy until that impressive bruise has completely faded.
    Good to hear from you, Pat E.

    Thanks for the updated news Nanny Beach, hopefully they can get something sorted for your OH to prevent reoccurring problems.
    Glad to hear that you are both finally over the covid PatE, take it steady for a few weeks to make sure you give yourselves time to properly recover.
    Enjoy your holiday Hosta - sea, sun and sangria sounds good to me.
    My best wishes to all of you who seem to suffering in some way or another, lets hope that everyone is soon fighting fit again before the winter weather really sets in.

    Ergates,he wasn't seen quickly,they had no trollies,he had to sit on a rock hard thin plastic chair for 9 hours.(apart from a visit to a clinical area for bloods,then seeing the Dr 9 hours later) There was the usual drunk unpleasant sweaty types,young bloke with a police escort decided to lay himself across 3 of the softer chairs.

    Oh lord, that sounds awful, Nanny Beach. I knew it was bad down here in the south west, but it sounded as if things were a bit better where you are. No such luck. Must have been grim. He must be so relieved to be home.
