Just goes to show that one person's bad luck can be another person's silver lining. :) <<hugs>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Much better now thank you. It cleared after a week. I didn't get the flu, may be because I got the flu jab :shrug: no sniffles which I'm thankful for.

Got taken into A & E for the second night on the trot because of high potasuim levels (hospital 16 miles away), it was decided reading was'nt of concern after all. Try getting a taxi on New Years eve. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Hi sweetie. I ended up doing the same on Boxing day so I share your pain.

During 2025 I sure got my monies worth out of the NHS and their emergency service. My local hospital doesn't have an A & E just a daytime urgent case service so Sod's Law kept doing it's thing. Every time I had a crisis it seemed to be out of hours and I would end up in a blue light ambulance into central Manchester with John following on in the car knowing that I would soon be sent back to my local Hospital where they knew what I needed and the quickest way to get there was by car.

My MOAN .... Sod's Law firmly in place ..... late Boxing Day evening I knew I was in trouble and John had to dial 999 knowing that I needed to be admitted somewhere as I couldn't go direct to my local hospital" as "there's no A&E"

I wish red tape could be bypassed but that's a whole different, and ongoing, massive moan.

To add a happy note, I do carry a letter from my Consultant explaining what needs to happen so I saved some time in A&E by getting blood tests done while I waited for them to contact a member of my medical team. Within an hour John drove me to my own hospital where I was finally admitted and I immediately got my PRBCs blood/high dose intravenous immunoglobulin* transfusions and was allowed home next evening.
*As it turned out to be a serious viral infection I may, hopefully, still be in my version of remission as my leukocytosis is dropping fast and my RBC is staying stable.🤞

:bigcry:
Back in my bubble and, due to still being on high dose antibiotics, I couldn't toast the new year but had a strong Vimto over ice with a slice of lemon on the side.

Tinky I hope you at least got to have something a little more potent.:D

I feel your pain Joglynne believe me, I have the added problem of transport Mr T doesn't drive. Also I have had 16 ambulance call outs this year. I am lucky to have acute care at home visiting 2 times a week plus district nurses calling also. PS I did manage alchohol free wine.

When going to pause Amazon Prime ads it now adds the item they were trying to sell me to my Amazon basket!!!

I'll have to see if I can disable that feature or I might just have to start using my IPTV for Amazon Prime TV as well even though I pay for it legally.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Google pixel have this new notification organiser which silents notifications. Pain in the arse. I've disabled it. Notification history is useful though.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Thanks I thought something had changed, I've now disabled mine.
