Not working on all 8 cylinders Toot!   Just need to plod on, just made some chicken soup!  LOL

Seems to give me a boost and so simple to make.

Seeing the GP at 4.54pm today.

She put me on some medication that gave me a wopping headache and my son thought it was affecting me, he was not wrong.  

Even gave me an ECG every few hours  & CAT scan, But it doesn't seem to have affected the ticker so far so good, the medication they warn can harm kidneys!   So I have to keep having tests for the kidneys, never had issues like this before.  I now have all sorts of sticker marks on me and wholes in my skin from the blood they have been taking!  I have lots nearly 2kgs this week!

Personally I think it is anxiety about hubby.

Thank you Sophie!  

Yes Leonie, this has been going on since end of January.

Thank you Ny19, just got back from the doctors and I had hubby in the car, they said the appointment was 5.45pm, so I cancelled going back tomorrow.  It is freezing outside now.

  Thank you RnR.  Love your artistic work!!

Hope you're feeling better Celia - I'd send you some flowers, but don't know how to. Take  Care. xx

Suze thanks for that!

Hi Plan B.

Yes they did!   The medication is hard on the kidneys also, so I need to have regular testing.

However, something weird happened this morning, my BP is normal so I did not take the medication and went up to the Doctors, she agreed do not take it.   The Chemist said see a doctor last night but couldn't.   So my regular doctor is seeing me at 12noon tomorrow.

I've been told if my BP goes up to 170 when I take the reading at 4pm I am to go back to them!

Oh well I shall just go and sit in the sunshine if about 30 minutes it is wonderful weather here today In perth.   Must check on a girlfriend who has seen her specialist this morning, she needs knee replacements!  If it is not one thing it is another.

How are you Plan B.  How is the back any better?

What made you end up in the hospital Celia??

Hope all goes well for you Celia,  I have to have those injections for my CT scans all the time and I always have a blood test a few days b4 to test to see if the kidneys are ok --- Yes 170 is a bit high especially if you have been up and about doing stuff,  normally B/P is higher in the morning when you 1st get up -- do you find that? 

My Diastolic reading is always very low,  around 50 or a bit higher rarely much higher than 57

No, the back is getting worse as is the breathing -- I have to have an echocardiogram next week to see if my heart is making things worse -- was to have it a while ago but we were having a few virus outbreaks here and so it was canceled, then till it was safe again.

This is the problem, we don't know!

Certainly the medication on Friday that I was taking all weekend was a big no no; the Chemist at the hospital and the Doctors said it is a very very strong medication.    So at the moment I am not on anything and I feel better for it. 

The lowest I have had is 48 that was under 65.  I recorded all the readings and took them to the hospital, they had been p to 200 over 103.   I even had a pulse rate of 128!  So I am wondering what they are going to find next!  

Mind you the northern irish couple next door would make anyone mad, I had to contact the environmental agency because they were burning on the fire all sorts innocentof rubbish, but of course when anyone comes around they are innocent as sweet lambs!!  I was just out pruning some of the roses just now and you should have seen the smoke belching out of their chimney, but of course I make it up according to them;  yes we have taken photos but it doesn't look so bad when they are taken, if you see the smoke it is acrid.  Here in WA you are allowed to do this for 20 minutes while the fire starts!   So the sw winds come and blow it into our property and if the doors and windows are open it comes into the house, so in winter on a nice sunny day like today we have to keep all the windows and doors closed because they light their fire about 2.30 - 3pm.   I think this is where my husband has got his leukemia from personally.

All the best PlanB and Celia.

Thank you RnR --

Celia, what was the name of the medication that was a NO NO and very strong?

Yes I read it last Friday, but the doctor and the chemist at the hospital didn't like it!

What didn't they like -- you looking it up???
