After 15 days of worry he has had his bp tablets and his statin removed, and 1 added. Believe it or not, an iron tablet. He had another echo scan and they have decided against the need for a heart tablet, however regular gentle exercise which is no problem as he's always active, a low salt diet, moderate fluids, an echo scan in 6 months and yearly after that. We cannot believe how close we came to losing him and to come home with only an iron tablet. Avril xx I want to thank all the wonderful people who have sent me best wishes and prayers via Av. She has read me every one and I am overwhelmed by the kindness, help and advice from people we have never met. I am grateful for all the support you gave Av because I know it kept her going when things got a bit 'hairy' You're a great bunch. Frank Great news for you both. Even though we have never met, I feel so pleased and relieved for you both. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted January 12 #54402 Share Posted January 12 Things haven't gone to plan this week. I ordered some zips which have arrived but the colours aren't suitable, so was going to take a trip up to Truro to get the ones I need, but had problems with the car. Plus I been battling with the hospital to get my MRI results. I have spent a good portion of today trying to find get answers and am not much further forward. Rang several times this morning and left a message, got a phone call from the doctor, who can't answer my questions regarding my travel insurance, but he did inform me that they would be looking at my scan on Monday and said he would ring me on Monday,🤞 if not for me to ring on Tuesday. We leave home to travel up the the airport on Thursday to join Azura on Friday. Things are not going well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a strange “Meh” feeling, but I’m hoping that’s only because it’s been so long and we spent so long thinking that we would never be able to cruise again I hope you have a wonderful cruise and lovely sunshine all the way . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted January 13 #54420 Share Posted January 13 A dull, grey day here at 4c but feels a lot colder. At least it's dry and not windy. Taking a trip up to Truro this morning, and it will be the scenic route as the A30 is closed all weekend. Hopefully I can then get on and finish the dress I'm making and I intend to make a start on the packing for next week. Wish me luck! Have a good weekend everyone, whatever you have planned. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
