Good morning evening, just off for the dreaded treatment, third of the way there after today, 12 more to go. It's a lovely day here in Chesterfield, sun shining but looks cold. Would like to stay in bed but 40 mile trip to do! Good luck to everyone today hope that you can add another day of being a non-smoker. I am now down to less than 5 a day hoping to cut these out in next few days and then I can join you all. Whatever you are doing today keep smiling and enjoy :)

Hey all

Its a ok day up here in North of Scotland (bit chilly but its dry and not snowing)

On a depressing note Ive just had to turn down 3 full days work working in a classroom because I do Tues-Friday working in a school for 2 hours each if those days and Im contracted so I cant not go :(

The classroom would mean more money per hour and it would really needed just now but hey spthings happen :(

And had to put the car into garage again because of ANOTHER puncture grrrrrrrr

Never mind tomorrow is another day, just cant wait to get today over with at the moment. Nearly school holidays so thats a bonus ;)

Never mind Sarah, I'm sure something else will turn up, hope you get your car back soon :) and I'm sure your day will get better :)

Good Morning Everyone,

wowser, what a challenge we all seem to have had getting on here this morning!

It's not just our community though, all the other Health Unlocked communities are having the same and I have been told that it is being looked into :-)

Simba, thats some journey for your treatment. Are you driving there? It's all positive though as it's the road to recovery. You have done absolutely brilliantly by cutting down on so many. We'll get you there all in your own time :-)

Sue, I'll provide the biscuits and also a lovely serving of fresh cold cut up fruit too... for the health concious :D

Sarah, keep focussing on the positive, like how many more sleeps you have for your jollies :D Just think of the fun you'll all have and make sure you keep seeing your money jar being filled up with the pounds that you would have spent on those awful white sticks :D

Thats a nice post Mad, The suggestion of Pj's and relaxing sounds really inviting to me too :-) Will you be going out on one of your walks today?

Right, I'm off for a catch up in case I've missed anything :-)

Hi all,

Hope that everyone is well! A big well done to all those embarking on a smoke-free life!

Am feeling a bit ropey today. Had a stress echocardiogram yesterday, I had a dye injected un to my vein, and they had to inject it in a few times. When they went in the vein it hurt like hell! I went all light headed and felt sick, then they had me running on a treadmill, and one of the technicians knocked the canula, twice before having more dye put in whilst I was walking very fast, uphill on the treadmill! Then when they took it out, it wouldn't stop bleeding, and blood spurted everywhere, I nearly fainted again! Then after my arm had been strapped up to stop the bleeding, it all swelled up! Arm is a lot better today, but I have felt well under par! To be fair, the staff were lovely, but they were a bit heavy handed!

I went to work this morning and was doing some training with someone who didn't appear to be listening to what I said, and did her own thing, despite me showing her what to do! I was rather direct with her, she didn't come up to scratch!

My tumble dryer is now fixed, yay, the fixer man came this afternoon! I came home from work and cleared the part of the kitchen that's been decorated, ready for the decorator tomorrow. Had a lovely casserole for tea, it was well yummy.

The weather warmed up today, was 7 degrees on the car temp gauge, lots better than yesterday when it didn't get above -1 here! A little bit of snow this morning but it soon went!

Hope that your daughter is on the mend soon Jilly and fab news on the house front!

Hope that your treatment goes well Simba and well done on cutting down.

Pete, is your mum okay now?

Am looking forward to tomorrow, I can take this ambulatory monitor off, it's been on 7 days!

Laters all, soz for whinging! Tis jim jam time methinks!

Hi Chickles, I'm sorry you had such a bad time at the hospital, but at least that's it done now, and you moan all you like :)

Chickles3 YEAR WINNER in reply to monky

Aww bless you both Sue and Pete! They said my heart looked okay,the extra beats, which are common, showed up, but the scans have to be looked at by a senior doctor just to make sure and then the ambulatory monitor has be assessed. I have 'menopausal' hot flushes which gives me palpatations as well!

Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of what is wrong with your mum Pete!

Thanks for putting up with me, tis much appreciated!

A man goes to the doctor and says: 'Doctor, there's a piece of lettuce sticking out of my bottom.' The doctor asks him to drop his trousers and examines him.

The man asks: 'Is it serious, doctor?' and the doctor replies: 'I'm sorry to tell you, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.'

Hi Jilly,

I was at the LGI at the Cardio Unit. Good luck with your CT scan chuck! I don't think that my dye was half as bad as what you experienced with your chemo! You're so right though, hurty veins are awful! I'm a dreadful patient! Am a proper wuss when it somes to having needles and things, that stems back to when I was in hospital being prodded and needled and scanned what seemed like everyday, when I had my stent put in my brain. When I had one of my CT scans, they missed my vein with the dye and injected it straight in to my arm, my arm was like Popeye's lol.

Bless you for putting up with my whinging, I don't do it that often :)
