It seems I'm a patient now!

Appointment done, blood pressure was wild, so, bless her, the nurse sent me home with an email address to send a photo to of my machine at home, got it down and duly sent and accepted as ok. I suspect my blood pressure is highly volatile and I need to get it sorted by GP at some stage soon. 

The kids are deciding who cares when, bless them, it’s come at a time that daughter is on tour but can zoom back in her day off, son is turning his teaching round. I feel so bad that they are having to do this, but know they want to and love them so much for it.

Ah your daughter & son are so precious and caring. 
I have my Covid vac today.

bp is bound to be up due to everything that’s happening but good a reading has been ok’d.

I hate those questionnaires moomy . They are inappropriate (don’t fit me!) and there is never enough space, and I have to attach printed sheets! Xx

It seems like, once the pressure is off, blood pressure comes back down to normal, when my stress levels rise, so does blood pressure! Crazy….

Managed a few things, after doing a washing load and dealing with the grocery order, firstly a walk into town and back to get myself organised and back into the NHS app, then I got out in the garden to replace batteries in the weather station, it’s awkward and a challenge, but it’s now successfully up and running again. 

Had a call from the GP practice social referrer, she’s going to link me up with an Age Concern system, also suggested the monthly meetings at a local centre for cancer patients, they are a social group but sometimes have speakers, oddly it’s run by an OT!

Sat down to watch a favourite programme (Pie in the Sky, have the dvd set anyway)  and am feeling sleepy so might nap….

Surgeon Rachel just phoned, I’ve a pretty large gallstone plus some cysts in my liver, also some cysts in my left kidney. No spread of the bc so surgery will go ahead as planned on the 7th of May! Phew!

Glad to hear all that, sounds positive, and great that your op will go ahead as planned. Guess you’re on countdown now. Love and hugs, HFxx

Glad to hear that the breast cancer hasn’t spread. xxx

Thanks to you both, getting plans organised now plus for the time afterwards when I can’t drive…. 

Thankfully I’ve got a lovely neighbour couple who I’ve helped out, she’s a nurse and will happily be an emergency call if the kids get worried, they will share the care over the first 2-3 days.

That’s such good news.  I have been reading all posts just don’t comment often.  Thinking of you & hoping all goes well.x
