owl Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Fatigue cleared off today and I did all errands in Worksop then across to the reserve. It may well be back tomorrow but at least I got ahead and am stocked up with everything. Strange weather, a sudden strong wind got up and blew all leaves off trees just as I was driving to reserve, and I had to pull off road for a while, as so many leaves landed on the van that I could not see, and wipers could not keep up with them. I can't watch things like that, Suzeanna, I am too mardy and would get into a state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I watched the first ten minutes or so Owl then recorded the rest. I saw enough to put me right off the idea of the op even if I found anyone willing to go ahead! It's an 8 to 9 hour op, they have to stop the heart and put your blood through a machine to keep you alive, then they cut out various bits and replace them with plastic. It has a high risk of death, paralysis or stroke. As the alternative is it will suddenly burst and you are dead in minutes, I think I prefer that option! Glad you had a better day, hope tomorrow you'll feel as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good for you Jazz. Some of them forget they are dealing with real people with real fears and feelings, often at their lowest ebb. Glad you can still stick up for yourself and hope she takes it on board. Stay strong xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Quiet in here today. Hope you're all doing exciting things. Been raining here all day so I've had a sort out of drawers and chucked out loads of junk. That's about it lol, apart from getting a few bits from the shop and putting the makings of a steak and sausage pie in the slow cooker. Hope everyone is well.

suzeanna Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 My only bit of excitement for the day was going to the surgery to have a blood test for my thyroid function. It's been raining here for most of the day too, I've cleared out some clothes to take to the charity shop when I get round to it. Mostly posh frocks that I'm never going to have the chance to wear again. Pie sounds lovely Eve, do you use your slow cooker much? My daughter has one but I think it was a five minute wonder, along with her coffee maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
