Slowly getting better.
So sorry to hear all of this Sean. When I worked in a Dr's office DVT is something we saw a lot of. Do you have to get constant blood work along with the blood thinners?Prayers for a healthy outcome!
Mod
And this caused me to be in hospital last night for four hours !!
The Burning lungs and chest pains I was worrying about, and slowing me down so much(felt like an old man)....
Results from last night an evening on a drip of painkillers and antibiotics. Caused by a reaction to all the tablets I am taking, causing "G.O.R.D" ?
A reaction to all the drugs causing and inflamed lungs with sickness, breathless breathing and burning painful heart burn constantly.
Today feeling much better and on more tablets to stop the effects of the other tablets!!
While collecting my new tablets today from the hospital, my car broke down !! (new battery fitted after being towed back to Honda Garage)
Has to rush to get a taxi to take me in five minutes to physciotherapy a mile away ! Just made it !!
My wife was at home on a day off today, and had her own stress, as they realised the new fridge /freezer was too big to get into our house!!
They spent four hours, taking the new doors off before able to get it in !!
What a day !!
Good News X Rays showed last night blood clots gone from my lungs, and both lungs and heart are great.
Good news have a new Fridge /Freezer
Bad News, not connected to pipes for water yet!
Good news... New bed arrived tomorrow, waited 12 weeks.
Bad News have to go and pay for the new bed
Good news... no fitters, electrician, plumbers in my house for at least 10 days as we wait for the work top to be made...
Bad news ... No hob till worktop made...
Good news... feeling much better and slowly clearing all the boxes everywhere !
Yin and Yang. The GORD, aka GERD, is acid reflux. That's what burns your gullet. Sounds like the docs have it under control.
Good luck to you.

Nice!
Best wishes Sean, hopefully you'll be back on the tennis courts soon.

Hiya Sean, I just wanted to wish you good thoughts in feeling better and getting back to yourself. I've been feeling pretty rubbish with worries of work, and how little of it there is, but you've really helped put things into perspective.
The nurse on my Dad's ward in hospital would always sing"Things are gonna get better" -I'm sure she's right.
Take care!
Sorry to hear about all illness and hope you are on the mend soon. My doctor always asks me if I look forward to things in the future. I say I do. She says that looking toward the future helps depression. Think when everything is resolved you can look back on all the bad things and forward to all the good things.
Mod
On the steps to getting better.
Especially on the tablets to stop the burning chest/asthma like effects.
So done a few things, and last two days done some short walks.
Remember the hilarious Bill Murray in the film "What about Bob?" It's all about baby steps. :-)
hello long time no post! its been a long process to get to the point where I feel like I am getting back to myself then something seems to come along and knock me back, unfortunately the illness I had before Christmas seems to have taken more out of me than i had first thought and i have been working to get back to full fitness. then i lost one of my cats. he was 17 and just old but it was still hard to lose him. he was my little hug a bug and there is a huge hole in the house that he filled. one of my other cats has been sick he has been suffering badly with hairball but i think we are finally coming out the other side of that. The dog is driving me nuts as he has taken to pacing all day or wanting to lie outside in all weathers and just generally being a pest. then i have the same fight every day with another cat over the chair! Other than that life is pretty quiet. just working away playing hockey and continuing to test myself at crossfit.
hope u all well

So sad when we lose cherished fur babies. Your other ones may be reacting to the loss too? It's great to see you back posting, and hope you on on your way back to good health!
Mod
I know how it breaks your heart when you lose one.
My thoughts are with you Sharon.
Happy to hear from you.
I am feeling a little better as well, and out walking now.
Three/four miles a day at the moment.
Working on finishing my garden today and tomorrow.
Taken 7 weeks on and off with the weather.
Keeping busy with walking, washing, drying, doctors, back treatment. Diabetes has been very bad, around 19 or 20 sugars, cannot control unless longer walks.
Sharon, your "Welcome Back" URL is Take 6 - Destiny [The Prince of Egypt: Inspirational Soundtrack]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9PLP...Happy stuff out of the way, for the moment at least, I'm getting seriouslyy pissed off with Hotmail. It's down. I only get 3 hrs online per day and I can't always get all my emails read in those 3 hrs, even AFTER deleting all the SPAM I get.

I do actually listen to this kind of music with my husband. I'll have to play it for him when he gets back from MA next month.
You're welcome, Paula. If I know 331Erock as well as I think I do, he'll soon record his own tribute to Chuck Berry....like he did the week after Leonard Nimoy died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py4ca...

Also happy as garden finished completely.
And worktop in the kitchen went in, and now a new sink and new hob all connected.
Looking lovely. Just waiting for tiles to come and put up, and to be decorated and the extractor fan and splash back.
Off for one more week.

Sounds lovely .... hang in there!
Mod
Shortly for the kitchen, next week or two, when the tiles go up.
Thanks
You must be tired of take-away food by now. Soon you'll be cooking at home.
Mod
Showed, that going out is nice when it is a treat, and not all the time, when it becomes too much and expensive.
But nearly there, not much left and really happy with the look.
My wife let me pick the floor colour and the work top colour, I am happy as is the wife Tracey !
Nearly done for our anniversary next week.... 37 years !!
And I am off, while my wife will be at work !
HOT (BLEEPING) DAMN! TRUMPCARE IS DOA! http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2...http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/03...
And this one just for you, Sean: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
You're welcome. I would probably have been one of the 24 to 30 million Americans who would have died by 2026 had Trumpcare been passed.
That's if he doesn't start a nuclear war first... Though, I blame Ryan more than Trump for their healthcare plan. Funnily enough, we have Trump to thank for the failure of so-called Trumpcare.
Affordable Care Act Trumps Unaffordable Care Act!!7 years, and this is what the republicans came up with, it was destined to fail.
Hi Everybody,How are you all? Long time....
Keep Reading...
Cheers,
Good point, Kirsten: "Funnily enough, we have Trump to thank for the failure of so-called Trumpcare."My Dad's aunt Betty, though she's 93, lacks the common sense to see that Trump was and IS bad news not just for the US but for the whole damn planet.
True, I heard someone on NPR who is giving Trump the benefit of doubt because as he said "I don't think he's a liar". WTF???????
Does anyone know what we should do if a book is listed in Goodreads database but is minus information? For example, there are approximately four books in a series I plan to read that do not list a page count for the books.

Can you send a sample link? There might be a way to edit the book metadata.

Damn........sorry Sean.I finger was too fast this morning.....and I accepted some sleazebag named Sam Dig. I was just not paying proper attention........
How do I block this creep?????
And yes, I am slapping my own hand.
I don't see a way to unfriend a friend. Now I'm going to be more cautious than ever. I was looking at a request today and clicked a link that I now can't unsee in an effort to learn more about the requester. I'll be running my virus scan now. She's blocked but I didn't see any way to report her :P
I accepted the same person Ter'e and Perri, I can t unfriend, and when I go to the profile the app shut down...
Mod
Find under his name, go to edit, it allows you to unfriend them.
I have done this and recently reported two (ladies?) that asked me to be a friend with a link.....
That link was a sex site of sorts !
Good reads are blocking them as this is spam friending.
If as above is missing it could be he has been blocked.
thanks Sean, I this he is blocked I can t see his name.

Have now booked our trip for 6 days in London, taking my sister-in-law Linda with us and treating her for her 60th birthday.
The hotel we are staying at
www.lemeridienpiccadilly.co.uk
Are going to do her a 60th birthday cake in her room as a surprise.
Then on the first night Saturday 1st July taking her to see her very first show... Mamma Mia (she loves the film)
Then on the Sunday and Monday taking her to Kensington Palace to see Princess Diane clothes, Buckingham Palace, also want to go on the London Eye, shopping in Covent Garden.
I think she is doing well, for her birthday...
But then on the Tuesday we are taking her to meet her brother in law at Gatwick (Premier Inn for one night) On Wednesday (and she does not know this) she is going to "Venice" for five days, paid for by her brother in law.
I think she is doing very, very well...
Sadly she lost her Mum and Dad (my wife's Mum and Dad) when they were both in their mid twenties.
Then Linda(sister in law) lost her son in a car accident(like her mum and dad) Peter when he was 24 years old(our godchild).
Then Linda lost her partner of 35 years, when he suddenly died of a heart attack aged 55 years old, 4-5 years ago.
So a tough life, lost her home and now lives in rented states(council) flat, and on income support.
So hopefully I will be okay and fit and healthy, and on blood thinners now for life to stop any more DVT's.

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2...I currently have a friend request from this person. They have been on Goodreads since 2009 but have zero books read, to read, reviewed, or owned. They only had one friend the other day, I see that some people have accepted friend requests because they are up to 3 now. They are following a ton of people though. Plus the about category, by itself not a problem but with the other info, is in a language that I cannot read. Might be Russian.
Haven't accepted for the simple reason something feels hokey.
Lynn,As Oprah says, "Always trust your gut".
Yes, probably hokey. I came across a similar request that when I clicked on a link in their "about", I got a little porn animation. While I got no problem with pornie animations, I don't have to friend them. That's just spam waiting to happen.
