It seems I'm a patient now!

Today it’s a pacemaker check (we were told to take the 12lead ECG tracing, hope all is well. 
Then the plan is to go to the shopping centre (masked) for a total change of scene where I will push him in wheelchair. Although it appears level it isn’t, so I will be getting a workout keeping straight against a camber….

I have fond memories of the MK shopping centre. I pulled into car park and son no 3 sitting in baby seat,  aged about 18 months was sick turning first left and then right. Problem .....sons 1 and 2 were seated left and right strapped in below him. They were all covered and our first port of call had to that big Mothercare ( I guess it's  closed now?) on the corner of the square for three totally new outfits! Luckily I had extra pants in case of normal accidents! My double pushchair.....one behind the other, not normal in 1980,.....came from John Lewis . Is that still there? They used to a play club. My boys loved to be left there for an hour which gave me time to concentrate on shopping. 

I hope you have a less eventful trip and enjoy yourselves. Does anywhere do afternoon tea? John Lewis or Greggs perhaps? 

I really do think changes of scene help. Even small ones and even if it is all lovely at home in the first place.

Oh my, Lacomtekp! What an experience! Yes Mothercare has gone but there’s nothing yet in its place, as is the case for a number of closed shops. John Lewis is still there, but since they made such a mess of changing it all round so you can’t walk straight through, we seldom go in there now. However, a successful bra shop as I found 2 I like in M&S, hubs sat and ate a Greggs hot sausage roll while I did that, and we popped into Lakeland (one of my favourite shops!) for some essentials (washing up gloves!) on our way back. Hubs is now exhausted and has eyes shut! 

The cardiac team advised he should be on anticoagulants, another extra drug! But at least it can be tablets and won’t involve INR tests

Hubs ate pretty well this evening, almost a complete but slightly small dinner. And he hadn’t taken the Cyclizine either. I think it’s giving him twitching, so talked to the pharmacist and result is I will try not giving him the lunchtime dose to see how it goes, he’s not complained of feeling sick at all since we swapped. But of course that might be the Levothyroxine beginning to kick in (10 days now)

Sounds like you’ve had a busy and eventful day! Ah MK shopping centre! Haven’t been there since my daughter was little and we went to see Santa in their winter wonderland in the centre square, I always manage to loose my bearings in there! I was 14/15 when The Point opened and thought it was the coolest place ever! I lived in Bedford at that time and Milton Keynes shopping centre and facilities made us all jealous  

I hope all the med adjustments start to show results soon Moomy xx

Hubs had an odd hallucination late yesterday and the twitching is still bad, so I phoned the out of hours service and their doctor phoned back, we are to stop Cyclizine and Sertraline as either or both could cause this! So reintroduce after checking with GP on Monday but only one of them at a time. And she reiterated that if nausea got bad to phone and talk through options, as I still have some Metaclopromide. Sounds more like the Sertraline to me (I looked on the NHS website) and poor man, in trying to improve his mood they are poisoning him! 

However he’s had 3 Weetabix and is busy with Private Eye now he’s properly awake!

Ah moomy, meds and their dude effects and interactions! Nightmare. Cyclizine made me twitch, and morphine and derivatives gave me hallucinations and vomiting! You seem to be getting very useful help now. Sending hugs xx

He’s had a tin of tomato soup with extra thick cream and three baby sausage rolls for lunch and as he’s so very tired is asleep on the bed, still twitching at times. Not sure about the half life of Cyclizine but Sertraline has quite a long half life.

Dinner wasn’t easy, he tried but said the texture made him heave, so had a frontage fraud instead…..
