A big Thankyou for all the moral support

[Loafinabout]

To all the many who responded to my post - Thankyou. I rang 111 and a lovely team of paramedics did some testing, took me to hospital today where I was diagnosed with a lung infection. Just back, worn out (so apologise if I’ve missed an anyone who responded to my post). Cosy in bed now so I live to fight another day with the doctor’s receptionist !

You can't beat a night in your own bed! Hope you're feeling much better now.

Hi

In our hospital we get the rescue helicopter coming in to land through the night so most people want to leave hospital! It's the way I came in after the stroke.

I can imagine you tinkling with items which need fixing like the Repair Shop UK.

Top health loafy.

No emojes on my MacBook Air or I haven't found them yet.

Hot water, squeeze lemon, honey and pinch salt if necessary the best.

Thankyou Joy for an ‘uplifting’ message! I would love to live in NZ (I have visited and everything about the way of life, attitude and its stable society is very attractive). Transport by helicopter must be an accepted thing in some parts. That’s very exotic to us Brits on this overcrowded patch of the earth and it’s usually only seen when it’s chasing criminals, or a life threatening medical situation in high congestion areas to the specialist hospital. Having said that I live in a very rural area so there is a helicopter service but it needs support by public donations - although I can’t remember the last time I saw it. I shall try your recipe thankyou and here are some emojis for your delectation🤝👍👌🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

Hi

We give to our REcue Helicopter. My Mum and I donated nut she won ride over the Bay of Islands. Big helpful guys put her in the helicopter and I was allowed too. Ear protection and we were away.

An unforgettable experience.

In Alaska she was flown in a jet across mountains to Anchorage. An earthquake jolted us in the hospital - the roof timber barge was rattling as the building was on runners! Mum got to punch the medics in a framed bed as she didn't want to be on machine support.

Then after flying back to NZ with a nurse she was helicopted up to Whangarei Hospital. Almost home.

They do an amazing job.

Why you have travel insurance. $110,000 medical costs.

You’re clearly from solid stock judging from you and your Mum’s adventures! Swing life around by its tail, that’s what I say!

So glad you got the help needed. Its very worrying when we know something isn't right, but don't know what. That's when we can feel very grateful for our medics, despite the trials and tribulations of A and E. Take it slow.
