Who's Awake

Morning

Off to Murcia today. Still too nippy for shorts though I think.
 
Shit Steve - sorry to hear that.

You OK now?

Yes, thanks, Graham. Blood Pressure went off the scale at 240/? [can't recall the other figure] and it took a tad over 7 hours for the left arm tingles to pass. I had a CT Scan of Head/Throat and Chest and they found further blockage/furring of the carotid arterie and history of a previous mini stroke that has caused some minor brain damage [insert joke here!]. Blood Pressure down to 129/? now and I have to change to a 'no salt' diet and lose weight. The TIA [mini stroke] Clinic programme looks to be a lengthy process, so we're probably looking at a holiday in Summer as the earliest break

I have to give a new type of Statins a try, 'otherwise your foreign travels are likely to come to an end sooner than you would wish', despite 2 previous versions causing me real problems with loss of balance and memory loss. Consultant was a female James Robertson Justice character; 'Mr March [NOT Steve/Stephen!]. 'You can lose this year's travels, or you can risk losing every year's travels, and change your motorhome for wheelchair'. She knows how to get her point across!

Steve: good to hear you are getting back to whatever your normal is :D



Morning

Head sharpening first thing then cooking brunch, so maybe a walk/bike ride later to work it off

Graham, you know me well enough to realise that my normal is on the cusp of many folks' definition of 'abnormal', but my own little world is mostly a pleasant place in which to reside :D It's the incursions of outsiders, aka reality and/or 'the system' that tend to upset the apple cart ...

I'm sure the neighbours thought I had Tourette's Syndrome during my various 'discussions' with Aviva, their Contractors, the upstairs neighbour and his insurers, to name but a few. Those episodes did nothing to help keep my blood pressure in check, but it's mere speculation to wonder whether the avoidance of the Pipe Burst MIGHT have avoided the mini stroke. There again, with the problems sitting just below the surface, we could have set off for Spain and had problems en route, so, on balance, perhaps better that events occurred as they did.

It's good to be back to my obnoxious self, looking for an empty room in which to start an argument! Hope your weather improves on your trip!

Morning

Nothing planned for today so we may well do just that!

Back in the land of the living after a mini-stroke yesterday. Meds all changed, 1 month driving ban, need to enlist for the mini stroke workshop at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, so that is France and Spain well and truly off the Agenda for Winter 2022/23
