Nice to see folks booking holidays🙂 My mate Barry was wary of booking a holiday this year . When he went to Spain 3 years ago his girlfriend fell pregnant . When he went to Italy 2 years ago his girlfriend fell pregnant . When he went to Greece 1 year ago his girlfriend fell pregnant again !!! I managed to convince him things will be fine this year ... If he takes her with him this time 🙃 Enjoy your cruises folks 🙂

Just asked in one of my local chemists and they said they did them but at a charge which was worth it to me . These are the packs below , maybe your chemist will do them if you use their delivery service ? Hope this helps .🙂

Sounds like he may need his meds in a "sure med weekly pill pack" when he gets home. I went from taking zero meds per day to nine, I would have been lost without it ,sorting out morning-mid day-tea time and bed time for me . Our chemist pre packs them so we don't have to. Glad to read Franks getting sorted -Onwards and upwards Avril 😊.

Just a heads up for some folk .... Kwells may also not be suitable for users with high blood pressure (hypertension) or heart disease.

@bobstheboy Have a great time away .It's a nice feeling getting away this time of year and as the plane takes off and bursts through the dull cloudy sky in to the sunshine - Enjoy 🙂 @Adawn47 Can you ask Frank what episode of Barnsley A&E we can expect to see him on telly? 😉 Only joking give him my best wishes 🙂 Had to nip into the doctors this morning to drop off a sample from yesterday . The waiting room was packed with folk coughing and spluttering an sneezing . I was soon out of there sharpish . Yesterday I drank loads of water as I knew they would be taking blood samples. The nurse ended up taking from the back of my hand, even then it was a struggle to get it out of me . Thinking back to when I was a kid I remember my Mam telling her friend that she thought I would grow up to be a little bleeder -Guess she was right 🙃 Have a good day🙂

Glad to hear Frank is in good spirit and you sound a little less worried. Here's the booklet that covers all scenarios of heart failure that I told you about Avril. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/publications/large-print/living-with-heart-failure---large-print Hope it helps you and Frank understand living with heart failure Take care 🙂

Good morning 6.c here but with a bit of sun brightening up the day. Today off to the doctors for a medical review, two appointments so maybe they want to start jabbing me for blood,so best drink some water to get those veins pumped up. That' s my excitement for today .. @Adawn47 Sending my support to Frank and your good self 🙂 Have a good day everyone 🙂

So sorry to read Franks news Avril and Mrs K was as stunned as you are when it happened to me as well , we thought the world had ended . Folk get it mixed up with a heart attack ,which funnily enough I have never had . The way I understood it was part of my heart simply does not work anymore . First things first Avril do not panic , looking back to 2019 my heart output was down to 27 % or something but with a careful diet and sticking to the 1500ml, my heart revived itself a bit . Now have a HF output of 49% . So it can be improved . For me No salty foods or alcohol ,you grow a lot of natural foods so your half way there . Ask one of the nurses for the booklet on heart failure ,some of the stories in it will help . A long way to go but hopefully you and Frank will get there . Hope what I have put is some help to you . Take care the both of you .

They are all at it Josy ... P&O Sent me the same e- mails when we went away . Same as you we were "do not upgrade " Just ignore if your happy with your lot .

You may get more results if you open a new thread as not all posters come into this one .

Nothing new with crowded bars on Christmas and new year cruises . Over the years we have done New Year cruises ,even on ferries and the bars were packed. Even our local pubs and social clubs are the same at that time of year.

Good Morning 🙂 Were off to the to the options today,suppose they will try and get me to buy some new expensive frames ..That's one thing I wont see happening 🙃 Ghosts, spooks do think they exist ? I once dated a girl who was a ghost I knew from the very first time I saw her walk through the door . They say even objects can be spooky like my yoghurts .. Paranormal Activia ? 🤔 Last night I was researching haunted cruise ships and was shocked to find out P&O's newest ship Vera was haunted 😲 Have a nice day , will leave you with the evidence ! 🙂

Hope you and the dog have a happy outcome with your results .

Great news Avril very pleasing news for you and your family and us cyber friends 😊

Great news Avril ,before you know it he will be back home with you again🙂 Morning everyone hope all is well. Yesterdays weather was all over the place and we had the highest and lowest temperatures ever recorded for this year. It's nice that we all think of those laid up in hospital. I remember going to visit my ex- boss. I took some chocolates and some fruit . Lucky for me he was fast asleep at the time 😉🙃 Hope you all have a great day Take care 🙂

I decided, for the first time, to try the January Sales - it's doing my head in. Went to Boots, they don't sell boots.. Went to Currys, they don't sell curry.. Went to Selfridges, they don't sell fridges.. And as for Virgin Megastore, don't even get me started on that one ! A drunk wakes up in jail on New Years day and asks the first police officer he sees, "Why am I here?" The cop replies, "For drinking too much ." "Great!" slurs the man. "When do we start?"🤣 My mate gave up smoking cold turkey for last New Year. He’s doing better now but… …he’s still coughing up feathers. As for me, I for once kept all my New Year resolutions .. I put them in a file box besides my PC . At just before midnight I raised my left leg and held the position until the clock struck 12 . It wasn't an exercise , I just wanted to start this year on the right foot .🙃 Keep on smiling folks,it the way forward 🙂

Good morning ,a sunny 6.c here this morning . We are also in the camp of our Christmas tree coming down this Friday. We can look forward ( only ten more months ) in some households to some folk declaring " Love Christmas lets get the tree out" only to find by Boxing day they are sick of Christmas . Each to their own . I look forward to our roast beef Sunday dinner on a Monday that Mrs K is cooking .Anyone else having a New Years dinner ? Whatever your doing have a good day our thoughts go to @Host Sharon and @Adawn47 Frank hoping they are out of hozzie and back home soon . Take care everyone🙂

Great to hear Frank is improving and heart and BP is normal. As @Eglesbrech advised the limited liquid intake is to protect his heart ,I should be on 1500ml but as my heart recovered they allowed me a bit more . Frank sounds like he's going in the right direction and a good kip wont hurt him and you make sure you get one as you need to be tip top once he comes home . Take care 🙂

One of our best New Year nights out was Madeira with the fireworks . Here is tonight's live feed and the ships look great all lit up, should anyone want to see them .....

Glad we booked early 🙃

As this year draws to a close ,a time for reflection on our lives . Some parts filled with goodbyes and others with happiness and hello's . We wonder where the years go don't we ? Once the carefree persons to the caring people as seen above . So to all my cyber friends I would like to say a big thank you for supporting each other and wish you all the very best for the coming year . Wishing you all health and happiness for the New Year ! Best wishes to all - Take Care Mr &Mrs Kalos 🙂🙂

Morning all , hope we all slept well .🙂 @Adawn47 Avril ,I saw this and thought is Frank laid there trying to work out some of the abbreviations that the hospital departments use ?

Confusing times but hopefully the Dr on his rounds will make things clearer. Cross that bridge tomorrow Avril and try and get some sleep. Take care 🙂

Check out who should NOT wear them as well (Found on Google ) Who should avoid compression socks? If you have peripheral arterial disease, ischemia, diabetes or congestive heart failure, do not use compression stockings without consulting your doctor; wearing compression socks with these health diagnoses can be dangerous.
