Just checking to see if we are all finding our way around the site . 
I have been through a few platform changes over the years here and it always takes me time to adjust .

Hope you are all ok and keeping well .

  • Thank you  My colonoscopy is booked for the 15th, but husband has postponed his till Oct. They did want us to go together,!! His CT resukt not back yet Slight frown

    The swim was glorious. I have missed it so much. Unfortunately their Covid precautions were practically nonexistent. I have written a damning email to them, I shall go again but now I know what to face I will make it as safe as possible fir myself. Take my own wipes,and anti bacterial, go in a cubicle and give it a good wipe, and stay as short a time as possible in changing room, showering at home.I need to keep going for my m.....l h....h if you know what I mean......No more pop ups!!!

    Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

  • Glad you raised that with them . I think you were quite right . If they do their bit perhaps we can manage this whole situation better .

    I took my mum out for coffee last week and got taken to a table which was less than a meter away . I was back to back with someone so asked to go outside . I could see they were not pleased with me . I explained my mum has health issues and we plan to keep to the rules . I read four coffee shops less than a mile away have now closed for deep cleaning . They have to do their bit . Others who have taken the extra table out have had to put their prices up a bit . I understand that .

    It is all so complicated but I think we do have to keep encouraging them to keep the standards up .

    So glad you enjoyed it though . Just what you needed . I finding the balance going forward too.

    I hope everything comes back well with your husbands scans . One of my relatives had a mammogram recall . Anxiety spike for sure !!

    Have a great day ,

  • Good luck  will be thinking of you.

    I'm up in the air at the moment, as just got off the phone to the GP. He's been speaking to the pulmonary team and they want me to go for a CTPA ......... tomorrow, first thing! Oh s**t! Maybe just as well as the last couple of hours I've felt bad, despite not doing a lot. So fingers crossed, mind I have no idea if I want them to find anything or not!

  • Hope that comes back negative for you . And a nice clear result too!

    The new world we navigate ! It’s so strange when you stop to think about it .

  • Oh  that is quick but it makes sense they would want to ensure that is not the cause . Particularly when it’s quite easy to treat . Sounds as though your GP is being very thorough . 
    Although I totally understand it’s another investigation no one wants but that one is really worthwhile getting checked out . Are you getting the results right away ? 

    I will be thinking of you ?

  • I have no idea! Was just making sure I knew where and when I was going! Got to pick up a letter and some meds on the way in, likely to be there most of the day. Better take a book. I guess if there is anything significant then maybe, who knows. Foreign territory to me.

  • Jings , a good book for sure.

    It’s probably one of those things they would start to treat straight away anyway so maybe not too long a wait . 

    You take care and will look to hearing you are safely through .
