Morning, I think...k has finally been seen by a consultant, who has ordered her transfer to a specialist coronory care unit for more investigations. But he has said that her thyroid has stopped working (underactive) in the last year and that could be a factor in her problems

Well shit.
Good she's getting proper care, though.
I hope they get somewhere soon, Will.Tomorrow morning I have a meeting with the fire officer about these teddies of which I now have three dozen.

I love that. I know it by heart and used to sing it to my son the way other people sang nursery rhymes! (no wonder he's nuts).
Think of me tomorrow am. I have a funeral in Guildford at 10 am. 6 am start required. I shall be there by 8 am but if I leave at 6.15 I shall not be there until 10.30. Such are the vaguaries of rush hour traffic - I used to commute to Heathrow.
Well, my right heel is still sore, so have put my boots on as they have gel insoles in, and my new support sock, still shuffling round the place though!! Neighbours lodger came over last night asking questions about my Echo Dot, am getting a second one now – shame I don’t like audio books, discovered last night it can read some of my kindle books to me!!
Sorry that K has to have more tests, fingers crossed they get to the bottom of it Will. That's lovely Kath.

Blimey Will, at least it sounds as if you are getting somewhere now. Poor K. Best wishes, crossed fingers etc to both of you.

glad you both seem to be getting somewhere Will.
Morning all, sun is trying to shine. Hectic day, food shopping after work, then picking up a donation for the charity. Hope you get some news Will.
Or chopped prose, as we used to call it. Morning. Off soon to meet my fireman. You know how you get an idea in your head? I picture him coming up to retirement, dealing with the public because he can't manage to carry a ladder now. Or maybe he's young and hunky? Yeah, right!
I'll let you know. :)
Fingers crossed for young and hunky! We all need a few pleasures in lifeMorning!
Back-to-back meetings from 10-1. Yuck
Last day at ‘work’ for me yippeeeeeeeeee! Just read in the Nice matin an old lady died overnight after a huge cactus fell on her and other people in Monaco yesterday. Killer Cactus indeed. Have a good day all.
No news is good news hey say: but it is also no news. Nothing can happen for K now until she gets transferred, and there is no sign of a bed becoming available in the ohter hospital yet
Is K going to Morriston. My friend’s son worked there in coronary care. It’s got a good reputation for care.
Morning alls. Just back from the veg supplier up the road and I'm glad to see he's getting more and more veg out again as well as V large and v cheap free range eggs, Over winter he had decided to quit because people were underpaying into the honesty box! He must have caught the culprits or they quit underpaying because of the guilt. (seems unlikely I know!)
Lynne (Tigger's Mum) wrote: "Is K going to Morriston. My friend’s son worked there in coronary care. It’s got a good reputation for care."That's the plan, Lynne. The good news so far though is that the scans have shown no present heart damage.
Sorry that there is no sign of a bed coming available for K Will. Sun has completely disappeared. My replacement coffee syrup came yesterday, still got a use by date of June 18!! I did open it this morning, was very yummy – they didn’t send the return label for the first bottle either, so think I’ll wait for them to contact me.
Fireman around 50 - that's young to me! He was wildly enthusiastic and is using them in conjuction with the victim support units (I think that was the term) in that station and one on the south bank of the Humber. He was just going to trial them there but went into overdrive when he saw there were three dozen there. Result. They're going to get their publicity people on it next. Oo-er!

Kath wrote: "Result. They're going to get their publicity people on it next. Oo-er! ..."Remember the press release about these Teddies has to start
"Best Selling Author, Kath..........
Very exciting, ‘best selling author’ Kath!Poor K, Will I hope you are keeping her well supplied with reading material. Hospital stays are one of the most tedious experiences known.
K had her kindle, Rosemary. Perhaps the best feature of ebooks!However, the consultant has taken pity on her and let her out with certain meds and an outpatients appointment for an angiogram next week

Thanks, Anita! Just seen this. I've got so much else on at the moment, that I've had to shelve the paperback, but I'm nearly there with the first one.
Also, I'm puzzled about Kath and teddies and firemen... I've missed something somewhere. Again.
Anna, I found something on Facebook about Trauma Teddies, knitted by volunteers (me) and given by firefighters or police officers to children in dire circumstances. They get to keep them, of course. A friend and I contacted the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service because her husband is a retired firefighter. The publicity will encourage knitters to join in. Easy pattern, found online and improved by me.
I'm back! bet you never even knew I'd gone!Kath, "Best selling author knits a great yarn, in more ways than one ....." Well done you!
Will, thankful that K is home and hope that all goes well with the appointment.
Good to see K is home, Will.And Kath - you knit as well? Do you ever sleep? Well done, you! These things make the world a better place.
Morning all, a glorious sunny morning here and it rained overnight - a perfect combination for gardeners! :)
Morning all,Dexter slept until 7:30!!!!!!! It's amazing!
We took him to a petting zoo yesterday and then to see his aunties. It was a great day out.
Hope all are well
Hmmmm - looks like it'll be raining soon. Glad you guys had a good night's sleep, Lindsay. The excitement of the petting zoo and the aunties' attention must have tired out Dexter.
Urgh, morning - had to take a sleeping tablet at 3.30, heard my neighbour leave at 6, and was awake before my alarm at 7.15. Fundraising this morning, then housework, although may need a nap.Glad K has been discharged Will. Glad the teddies have been appreciated Kath. Nice to see you back Kelly. Glad you are having such a good time Lindsay.
Good morning! So far so good. And, Lindsay, I remember those occasional days. At last a proper sleep, long may it continue.
Dave and I have been beavering away, doing what I think was the last bits of sorting.Put the last of our bits up for sale. Only about a dozen items, so that's okay.
Morning everyone.The sun's shining in an encouraging fashion although I think we may have had a mild frost earlier on.
I let my car go yesterday and am still feeling pangs of guilt at the disposal of a long-time companion.
That's great news about the teddies, Kath - if all the knitters in the UK produced just one...
Good that K is out before the weekend, Will. Hopefully this will just be a minor blip.
How are you going to wear Dexter out today, Lindsay?
