Thank you all, for your support, I am probably
over reacting and it may be normal wear and
tear, the frightening thing is being sent for a
scan, after being told everything is fine, but I
saw what the consultant saw.
Thank you all again.
Mike.
Mike, your post is, what's the best word? Heartening! You are sick, but you say, you don't do sick. Quite right. So to reiterate the good wishes posted by all, I add to that and strongly recommend that you get your foot of that bar of soap.
Your post really did strike a chord, my lady is in a similar situation, she's a retired paramedic, health workers, even retired health workers, just don't do sick. So when her heart rate went through the roof and I called an ambulance, she told the ambulance crew that she was okay, no need for fuss, didn't need to go to hospital.
What a tactful fellow that paramedic was. He turned the computer screen towards her, it was hooked up to her wrist to monitor her pulse. He said: "Now I'm the patient, and you're the paramedic, what will you do?" Sheepishly she said: "Get you off to A&E (UK hospital, Accident & Emergency) and put the blue light on." "Get your coat," the paramedic replied.
She's responded to medication but not got off the bar of soap yet. She has an appointment with her cardiologist later this month, we hope to know more after that.
So Mike, we are praying for you and really do understand that oldies can get sick.
