General Chat

I'm glad you feel a bit better Rita, it puts your mind at ease when someone listens to you and actually does something to ease the problem.

You'll be able to enjoy your holiday better now.

I'm not sure about the sleeping tablets, I don't know anyone who takes them, so I've never heard if they are a good or bad thing.

Marilyn
That must have been a shock to your system. it hard to see some one have a heart attack as you do not know what to do first.
That was what happened to me out with my husband driving the car get to the top of a hill we were laughing at something then his head fell back and I saw his eyes rolling I knew it was a heart attack we were not near anyone off the road as well in a lane. I managed to stop the car and I know I was shouting "dont you dare leave me you promised." I pulled to the side of the road wrenched open the door and tried to reviive him but it did not work i saw a bunglaow a little way along rang the bell told them pease phoned for an ambulance my husband is having a heart attack.he had gone
by that time. I was so numb I kept saying what did I do wrong did I go and do something I should not have. it is such a shock to your system . Then it seemed though it had not happened to me but to someone else. He had never had an illness in his life he was 61.
But you did what you could Marilyn and that is the most important thing. I hope he is OK and they managed to save him poor man.

Pauline I will not take the sleeping pills unless l get despert. I have to take enough pills now.

Rita

Well girls, we are getting spoilt by Jean,with fresh orange juice. We must enjoy it whilst it lasts,it's yummy. Thank you Jean.

I can't believe all this bad news I have been reading today.
But I am so pleased that the doctor,explained everything to you Rita. There
is nothing worse than feeling left out by the medical profession. Doctors so often close shop,and leave you wondering what the heck is wrong with yourself.

Marilyn and Pauline,I hope that the pair of you have got over the shock that you both suffered.

I will make us all a nice cuppa after all.it is that time of day now.

(**)? (**)? (**)? {^^}/ {^^}/ {^^}/ {^^}/ [_] [_] [_] [_] enjoy.

Hi Rita ,

Yes it was a shock.....and there was my dad about his ear problem saying arent the doctors taking a long time to see me !!!!!!!!!!.

I could have curled up and shrunk ......

I'm still thinking about that them both , I think it would have been better if she rang for an ambulance instead of her driving him up to the hospital , that way he would have gone straight in to the A&E no questions asked .
Lesson learn' t always ring for an ambulance !!!

Rita that's so sad how your Hubby died, but you did the right thing to get help, although the consolation is he knew you did that for him.

I'm off out for dinner tonight at my sisters to tell her all about dad , at least we have a laugh about it , he's so proud to have been in the Navy , when he saw that the doctor was a Navel doctor he tried to tell her all about his war years and boy he goes on & on, he has to end up by saying he was a Petty Officer wow ......just one rank !!!!! the doctors face was a picture , I had to apologize to her for dad ranting on , and she said he's a young 95yr old makes a change to have a chat to someone that old ... LOL

Speak later x

EDIT
Hi Mo just typing while you were ,,, Thanks for the tea.....

Oh your poor dad Marilyn,bless his cotton socks. I hope he has got over having his lugholes hoovered out. Can he hear any better now.
I presumed they sucked and didn't blow his ears out. I have visions off wax stuck on the walls if they blew. LOL If it was me they were doing it to,
theres not much between my lugholes,the wax would fly out the other side,
it would go straight through as theres nowt there to stop it.

Marilyn I knew about the cotton wool buds I knew people that it had happened too. I use to keep some in the house I brought the Boots ones as the cheaper ones tops came off but I use to tell my family be very careful you could get one in your ear..
but even the dearer ones do the same thing. I dont use them in my ear I somethimes clean then ear lobe with one but I am so careful.
I had a friend who use to use them on her babies nose. I told her about the chance of her losing one up his nose but she still went on using them

Rita

just pop in quick i have the dinner to do

been work all day got a little head ache

Dear All

Hello

Hope things are okay.

I remember having my ears syringed......all the wax that came out!

Ugh!

If you are watching, enjoy the Spain V Germany World Cup match on BBC1.

Take care
Best wishes
xx

Good evening Elizabeth.
No football in this house I'm afraid, we both do not like it. But I am wondering if the final will be between Holland and Germany.
The Octapus that has been doing a lot of the predictions,has predicted that Spain will win tonight,so my theory of a Holland /Germany final,will be blown out of the window if it is proved correct.
Best wishes Mo

er exscus me im not ok today

iv got a head ache

off sulking

Hello everyone, hope you had a good day.

Have just got back from shopping, I swear the prices rise every day,
would be rich if I didn't eat, [would loose some weight as well]

Rita am glad you feel better after talking to you doctor, it does help
when they really listen doesn't it?

Pauline I hope your sister's husband is starting to feel better,
I am diabetic and know how worrying it can be.

Shelly hope your headache will clear soon.

Am going to have some supper now,
Night all, take care.
Jean xx

Hi all

Shelly what gave you a headache? today have you been rushing around or is it the heat ?

Jean you are right it does help to talk to your doctor especially when you have one who will listern to you I was near the end of my tether as my mother use say.
I feel calmer now I think it is all sorted. the dotor told me it was.
I have lowered my steriod as that dotor fomr the hospital told me too and my GP told me that was fine they are trying to lower them.but if I feel unwell I have to phone them

Jean my daughter is a dibetic as well she has to take lots of tablets
I have a friend Joan we have been friend for 75 years and she has to have injection during the day she is poorly at the moment.just had a pace maker put in .

I looked in the tV times to see what was on and there is nothing for me to watch I not keen on Big Brother. and i have read all my books I will look in the charity shop tomorrow and see if they have anything in. I collect my Pussel books from the Newagents tomorrow my chat and Take a Break that will give me something todo..

Pauline The fire Brigade came again this evening I dont know why they sat in the cab. they might have been waiting to go to a fire somewhere four men. So pauline thanks for sending them to me. there will be more of us to play scrabble now Lo

They get called out to check people fire alarms and things like that when you are elderly.that is why we see s omuch of them.

Nite
Rita

Shelly would you like some pain killers for that head ache. I will send them down the cyber hatch for you.
I hope you feel better after a good nights sleep. Have you got work in the morning.

Jean I know what you mean about the cost of living going up. If only they could prescribe us pills instead of eating,it would be a darn sight cheaper.
And just think no washing up to be done as well.
I hope you enjoyed your supper. What did you have by the way, we might have wanted to share with you.
I think I will have a nice cup of tea and some biscuits. We had home made curry for dinner tonight,and I am feeling peckish now.

Hi Mo, yes I enjoyed my supper, shepherds pie followed by some strawberries, you would have been very welcome to share it. I like your idea of pills instead of eating specially the no washing up.

Sweet dreams.
Jean xx
