sorry to hear this JC - when suicide touches us through friends, colleagues or family, it can have a very destabilising effect on us and be a trigger for a lot of complex emotions. Feel good soon mate …

Ok well at least we are getting somewhere with the immediate issue - a date is good and although July is not too far off, it sounds like it can’t come soon enough for you. It’s pointless of course saying ‘try not to be anxious or stressed’ because ‘words’ are usually disconnected from the real...

Hope all is well and you have a clearer idea of the plan going forward. Well to continue my own saga, last Monday, which frankly has become a source of entertainment to all my friends and me, I was admitted to A&E directly from an OP appointment last Monday with severe respiratory illness I...

Hi @BLOCK F Sorry I missed your response yesterday 😕. My thoughts are with you and I can see why your news is worrying for you - definitely contact the cardiology clinic or your GP for more information- I do think things are getting left longer than they should in parts of the NHS...

😝😂 Thank you!

Thank you. I know from previous posts above and private messages that others have faced their own health scares recently and are also in hospital at the moment - I do hope your AAA op is either over or scheduled soon and you are doing OK yourself @BLOCK F I don’t think it can be reiterated...

That was perfectly good enough. Thank you 😊 When I wrote that post last night, I was very sick and on IV self administered Morphine via a PCA so sorry if it was a bit ‘oh look at poor lille ole me.’ Anyway when I came out of the 5 hour surgery this afternoon which went brilliantly btw and done...

Just about to try to stream the Man City match - again from a hospital bed but just been told I need an emergency op now to to remove my gallbladder - bizarrely it’s gone from an ultrasound yesterday when it looked ok apparently to the results of a CT tonight saying infection spreading out of...

Thanks for your kind words BF Likewise, I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart that your AAA surgery is asap and goes well. Waiting for surgery can be an anxious time 🫤

Finally home today after 28 days in hospital (22 consecutive) - and several, albeit slightly unhealthy, kilos lighter! 🙂 Thank you again all those that commented on this thread in response to my earlier posts offering support and words of encouragement- I have dipped back in to read the...

All kind words help - of course they do and yes, at least I’m not a Palace fan 😍 Still going through ringer - had what looked like a detached retina last night - was rushed to the hospital eye clinic this afternoon- apparently vitreous gel has come away from my retina and burst a blood vessel...

That didn’t last long - blue lighted to hospital on Saturday with stomach pains and vomiting sent home Sunday with no treatment- then re-admitted Monday morning at 6:am - finally had a ultra sound - gallbladder infection and stones and have developed some nasty neurological issues too including...

Hello all. Im finally home from hospital and hopefully without too much long term damage from Covid, just very fatigued with some stomach problems and long term lung/fatigue issues. Thank you again for helping to lift me out of a rabbit hole last week - I was actually fine after that emotional...

sorry to hear that Eric - if you start feeling breathless, have a very high temperature or wheezing probably time to contact 111 - otherwise, provided you dont have any serious underlying conditions (ie heart, blood cancer, chest, kidney, autoimmunity), you should be able to ride it out at home...

Unfortunately I did but they were confiscated on admission - that’s what made me so upset - my asthma medicine was less than 12 inches from my head in a locked bedside safe draw to which I did not have access. Have a lovely, very well qualified nursing sister on my team now who has explained...

I feel a bit calmer - night sister has just started and is being a real doll - sorting out my meds and brought some soup. Unfortunately cant eat the soup or enjoy the coffee as my taste buds are shot and it all tastes like old gun metal literally. But yes Harry, the only thing that has kept me...

I think you are right - it’s partly the steroids but I’ve just literally balled my eyes out in a really chaotic emotional episode for several minutes after being told there’s yet another issue with meds not being written up in the correct dose. - Have been told now that the immflamatory resoonse...

Thanks PF - your words mean a lot at a time when I needed to hear them - sometimes a kind word is enough And Harry Kane and Saka have just scored and that feels really normalising And no, you dont get to see the pj’s - it’s ugly 😂

So here I still am, at least until tomorrow afternoon, medicated up-to the eyeballs with my addled mind and autoimmune, asthmatic body being far more dangerous and threatening to me than the virus itself and struggling hard not to go into freefall of depression and despair tbh.

I can relate to that certainly to some maybe even a large degree. When we are winning games or at least playing well, when opposing teams aren’t generally marring the integrity of the sport, then a sense on bonhomie rests with me for days and it makes coping with everything else less...
