Guess where I ended up?

Okay?
All things considered.

 

[Drago]

Still in A and E. Feel ok, albeit a little weak down my left side.

Have given enough blood to feed Dracula for a month, awaiting CT scan results, but looks like I've had a TIA.

If it makes you feel any better, Mrs @BoldonLad had a TIA about 8 years ago (then aged 70). Admitted to hospital, various tests, on discharge, Consultant told her "don't worry about it, you will probably die of something else". 😂

She has had no further symptoms.

OMG hang in there Sir and fingers crossed and wishing you well take care

Thanks Jon.

I'm my own worst enemy. I had it Sunday but at the time put it down to the heat.

When Mrs D found out she made me ring the docs. Couldn't get an appt so called 111 for advice and next thing I know an ambo arrives.

Lots of disapproving looks from the docs when they found out it happened 3 days ago. Apparently MTFU is not a recognised treatment regime for any kind of stroke.

I can't drive for a month. Oh dear
How sad. Never mind.

Just been told I had a mini stroke. They're keeping me in overnight for obs and MRI in the morning.

We are not invincible so rest rest and more rest

Just been told I had a mini stroke. They're keeping me in overnight for one and MRI in the morning.

Good luck with that

I'm not looking forward to it. Still, early night I guess.

Just back from Hospital - 100 mile round trip for ongoing blood tests and dressing change (PICC line).

Got to go back again at the weekend.

Car mileage taking a pounding!

I see prices are still inflating like a track pump on speed!

And why not take your safe ISA savings and convert them into 'your money is at risk' investments to save the British economy. Oh yes, what a great idea... not.

Must resist political comment making...

Reeves has a new electic pump, she is just trying it out on the people

If I were to set off now I could possibly be there early afternoon tomorrow.
Once the hospital list had been narrowed a bit.
Folding in half lengthways doesn't count!

You are definitely in the best place.
