There are dragonflies EVERYWHERE where my mum lives!

Is there lots of water where she lives?

Yes they live right behind the country park with a huge lake and rivers.

That sounds amazing redcat

That's really cool, Beckie.

Has anyone seen dragonfly nymphs before? I found a load of their skins in my pond one year - horrifying! Although quite nice to know they breed there.

I don't know what they are!!!

hey guys, how are you?

I have no idea what those are NP!

They're just a different stage of the dragonfly's development but they look totally different and kinda creepy, especially when they leave their skins behind.

That does sound weird np!

Morning everyone

Morning.

I was woken up by my neighbour chopping wood outside my window...

How annoying!

I was woken up a few times to have my blood pressure checked. And then finally woken at around 7am because of general ward busyness

That sucks. Hope you get out of there today.

Thanks
I hope so too!
Had an echocardiogram this morning and waiting to hear if I need another IV.

Thanks both
Yes it is a bit scary redcat! Especially as my ECG yesterday was abnormal.

The sticky pads are awful! Lol

How are you guys?

It should be ok today.
They gave me some meds for it yesterday

Yeah it is a bit concerning!

It is frustrating
I am on heart meds usually but clearly they aren't doing the job!

I had a couple of abnormal ECGS and then was sent for an echo but no one seems to be able to find the results to give me them.

I was under cardiology but discharged now
I'm on ivabradine or however you spell it
Also take statin tablets.

My cardiologist was actually really good and only took a few weeks to get an appointment

Thats terrible lindsay
They should be chasing that up

Bodies are strange

Hi coco :-D

Hey zombie
How's it going?

all good thanks :-D

started my martial arts course on Thursday there it went really well :-D

Possibly. I have no idea anymore!
I have ECGs all the time, mainly because I have seizures a lot and they always do an ECG in the ambulance

Morning everyone

Morning Beckie, how's it going?

Not too bad.
Just had some porridge for breakfast

How are you?

Mmm porridge.

I'm ok. Ticking along.

Eurgh to porridge Ready Brek all the way.

Glad you're ok eska
Any plans for today?

Ready brek is preferable but I also like porridge! Espeically with raisins mixed in but I dont have that luxury here!

And honey

Honey is also good.
Though I didn't like it until relatively recently!
I love banana and honey sandwiches *is weird*

That's weird, but I don't like solid bananas, just smoothies and cake.

I'm catching up with some friends later, apart from that not much.

Morning all.

Eww banana. I'll only have them in smoothies.

I've been on the porridge the past few mornings, it's nice and soft on my sore throat. Haven't had Ready Brek in years.

Hope you have a good time eska

A lot of people have issues with banana!
I love them!

Hope you feel better soon np
Being ill is miserable

That sounds like a nice day, Eska.

There's nothing nice about banana! The taste, the texture, the white stringy bits, the way you have to eat them. XD

This seems to be a particularly miserable kind of ill too. =(

I rarely get bananas because I'd be too tempted to eat them all in one go!


Ugh. How awful :(

I tried Lillie's recipe of porridge and peanut butter this morning. :thumbup: I added some bananas too.

That is indeed an awesome breakfast!

I'm going to boycott this thread until people stop talking about bananas.

How about sultanas? Sometimes when I need a semi healthy snack a handful of sultanas does the trick.

Hey guys, how are you?

Oh no! Np I hope you feel better soon!

I love bananas! They're great!

ewww honey :P

what are sultanas?

I don't like porridge/oatmeal either :/

to slimy for me *shudders*

OSC! haven't seen you in a while, how are you? and how's your vision? I think I remember you saying something about it last time ^^"

Sultanas are like extra juicy raisins.

ooh, I like raisins-

how are you Tamo?

Morning guys

I'm incredibly bananaphobic. =P

Never had stewed or grilled apple. Not much of an apple fan either but I do like a baked apple with honey and sultanas from time to time.


Morning all. I'm currently trying to decide whether to ring the doctors or not. =/

How's everyone?

Ring the doctors np!!!

I'm ok. Hoping to get discharged from the general hospital today

Ugh, don't make me call them! =P I'm dreading getting an unhelpful receptionist who will tell me that I'm potentially contagious and to quarantine myself.

That's good news. =)

Caaallll theeemmmm!!!

I'm not getting discharged. Booooo!

Because of the seizures I think
Have to have an EEG and consult with neurologist person

I'm looking forward to when the coffee next comes round

Chocolate biscuits are preferable to cereal bars!

Ah Beckie that really sucks! Better to be discharged later than too soon though so it is for the best (not a comforting statement, I know). You'll get out of there one day, I promise!

Mmmm, I have some chocolate hobnobs in the cupboard that I keep forgetting about.

I did ring the doctors, as expected the unhelpful receptionist simply said "Call 111", nothing else.... so I did. On hold for half an hour but the friendly man thinks I'm fine despite symptoms and having been abroad and thankfully didn't suggest self-isolation. So got back on the phone to the same receptionist who did eventually make an appointment for me this afternoon.

Work have back-to-work protocols I need to follow as well. Crazy, isn't it. o.o

Yeah that's true
Last thing I want is to be discharged and then end up back in A&E again!

Yum! Chocolate hobnobs!

Well done for getting all that sorted! Even though it sounds like a pain in the bum!
