So sorry you've got this going on, Grace, and I hope they have some useful info/answers for you soon. Have they already said it was a heart attack? Or is that what they're not sure about? Got confused reading posts (it's early! lol). Whatever is going on, I hope you are more comfortable now. Would definitely complain about the lack of sequins and taffeta though, these people have no taste  Hope you're alright lovely, keep us updated, shout if there's anything we can do xx |

I know youve an underlying blood issue, another is not really what you want on the bingo card. There aref so many complications to Covid.
My health is more like one of those death drop fun roller coaster things, not so much level but life would be terribly boring without some scary cliff edge fun thrown in wouldnt it. Thank you anyway. Hope the scan goes well. 🍀

Fingers crossed things are calmer from here on in xx |

No never had covid.or the jabs..just had tweetabix forced on me.I'm down for 11 o clock investigation s.shite night.1.45 the old dear next door was eating boiled sweets,out of a very crunchy bag.3.15 they thought I'd not had enough ecgs..urghhhh!to top it all the nurse said I'll fetch you a gown..not a piece of taffeta or sequin to be seen🤔 Did my head in in hospital all that disturbance especially at night when the nurse wakes you up to ask if you need anything to help you sleep ! or pain. 👹 And drs taking bloods.Or sit round the nurses station talking all night ! I discharged myself eventually id had enough. |

That's the state of the NHS today. No style left. Seriously though, I hope it all goes well and you get sorted out. |

Amazing what they can see inside you! Did you watch it all on the screen? I'm so squeamish with stuff like that I can never look, even though I'd find it interesting. Hope you've got some nice doctors to take your mind off things a bit xx |

Christmas music has started on the radio, my son wanted to listen to it so I sang along, that made him change his mind It's good that you're pain free, does that mean the pain you've been having was related to the heart stuff? Or just what they're giving you is knocking out all pain regardless? Sometimes you don't realise how difficult pain has been until it's not there for a while, it makes such a difference. Keep us updated on the dreams, they might get weirder! Hopefully not more Christmassy though lol |

I think it's related to the heart thing.they gave me a spray for under my tongue,nitrate?It went almost immediately,the spray is for emergencies.but one of the tabs I'm on is obviously keeping it at bay..so,the tear,dosnt match the ecg readout,which is all over the place.plus thickening of the heart walls.getting an appointment for a specialist in leicester..the fact mum was born with heart defect maybe looking at a hereditary condition..or 2 different conditions!so I asks,what can/can't i do?no digging,no carrying feed sacks or bales.no walking the dog's on leads because of their size,luckily we're totally contained and he's good so walks are ok.no wrestling goats.no rowing machine,no punch bag .no driving for a week..I said is aggressive crochet ok,as long as I don't sharpen the ends to points for anyone else that tells me I can't do anything😖

Very difficult being less active when you're used to always being busy but, maybe you can crochet yourself something very beautiful and fancy before you sharpen the ends up too much lol |
