Thank you @Daisybell :hug: I’m keeping him for one more day to see if the beta blockers kick in and then sending him home. He just spoke to work and they seem to be happy for him to have a month off... he’s over the moon... i’m thinking ‘oh hell no!’ Home time for you lol.

Lol you’re expert at it @Squeezy ;) Doesn’t make it any easier for you though, you deserve a medal. Thank you @Invisible Woman :) i’ll grab one of those right about now if that’s okay :banghead: :ill:

Unfortunately i’m the only person who can keep an eye on him, his parents are dead which only leaves a bi-polar sister who lives in this area and she’s not very soothing to a dicky heart, only time she gets in contact is to ask for money. He didnt even tell her he was in hospital lol

He’s on Bisopolol @MeSci which i think is also given with high blood pressure. Which is odd as he has low blood pressure. I’m sure i’ve already tried this exact drug in the past, the name is very familiar.

In the course of 4 days they’ve done absolutely sod all. Everything they did there, i could have done with all of my heart equipment etc. He’s had 4 paracetamol in 4 days. He’s leaving exactly as ill as he went in :banghead: Think he’s starting the Beta Blockers tomorrow. Don’t have the guts to...

My rest won’t begin until he goes back to his own home :ill:

He’s coming out today now, getting a taxi over in an hour to pick him up. I’ve been in two minds whether i could even visit him today at all all day, i feel like death :ill: that indecision has been decided for me now lol :dead: i wonder if i can check myself into his empty bed :laugh: Thank...

At the same time he text to tell me this, i’d just received a health mag in the post and opened it up on this page... ‘Help a Broken Heart’ ‘how the medical industry profits from unhealthy hearts’

Update: He’s still in, no change. I’m going to try to get in tonight but will play it by ear, been 80% paralysed last couple of days :ill: Turns out i’ve known what was wrong with him the whole time :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: A couple of years ago, doc put him on statins, within a...

20 years ago, you tell people you’ve been housebound for years and they look at you like you’re an alien and start side-stepping away from you... wondering if you have bodies buried in the cellar :nailbiting: Now, you tell younger people you’ve been stuck indoors for years and they still look...

Hmm thats strange, anything i try to look up on hfme in general throws up the ‘server not found’ page :thumbsdown:

Links not working @Roy S :facepalm: I tried typing it in but the web page still isn’t opening. Adrenaline surge tip 1: avoid technology unless absolutely essential :whistle:

Aye there’s nowt worss when someone tarks in a weird accent n ya cannat folla quick enough nd ya dinnit understand a ward ;) Followed by; ahh divint kna wot ya talkin aboot pet. Speak proppa like ;) :whistle: Edit: Apologies to all brains damaged in the making of this post.

That is so true. Because we’ve made adaptions to every tiny aspect of our lives in order to survive. Relying on certain ways of doing things out of necessity. When that rug is pulled from under us without warning, we are reminded and come face to face with the harsh reality of our existence...

Thank you @hedgehog I felt so bad taking mam to hospital with me. I couldn’t have done it without her. I’m hoping she’s at home resting now and taking it easy. I’m lying here, trying to figure out how and when i can next visit. My mam visits me once a week and brings food basics with her...

Its horrible. Making conversation is torture. Its the one thing that people really struggle to understand that we have a problem with. Like the taxi situation, when i’m struggling, people say ‘oh just get a taxi’ as if thats an answer to my problem of going somewhere. Sometimes talking to a...

The doctors seem certain its not his Wolfe Parkinson White Syndrome and something else entirely but they don’t know what. Tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, low BP, dizziness, pain in chest and left arm. All the questions the doc was asking him sounded like he was talking about POTS almost...

Thankyou @MeSci and to everyone else :hug:

They’re moving him over to the cardiac ward this afternoon as the monitor is still giving freaky readings. My mam has said she’ll come over to hospital with me to take his stuff over there as i’m a bag of jelly but she’s not good herself today, she was in hospital herself yesterday with a...
