Good luck at the doctor's appointment .

Waiting for nurse to come to give dd injection for blot clots etc.

Have no confidence dd or dh would have nous to answer door or know where medical stuff was if I were out so feel a bit trapped.

Hope sybil is getting on okay.

elona, I think similarly regarding DS but all I would say is that he surprises me when I do trust him to take responsibility. Go out of you need to. Anyway, the nurses can be a feisty bunch so I expect they are well used to rattling letterboxes until they get an answer.

My goodness, they certainly do. A few years ago a midwife turned up at my house and I was busy so didn't open the door. She came back the following day and started virtually knocking the door down and shouting through the letterbox until I opened up. I was then questioned for a good while about why I wouldn't let them in (didn't help that the baby next door was crying). Eventually she accepted I didn't have a baby and she was at the wrong house!

Thank you for the hugs

The dr is trying to get me an earlier slot at the specialist, referring me to a parallel clinic and has given me an angina spray, some aspirin and the strict instructions that if it gets any worse I am to immediately call 999.

I am not sure I am entirely comforted.

So I am going to take things a bit easier, keep my mobile charged an on me and see what I can get up to.

Elona - fingers crossed. I know what you mean about not comfortable trusting others to know what is going on. Sometimes I wonder about the men in my household so I seriously sympathise. How are you holding up and how is your daughter's spirits holding up. It must be so wearing. Thinking of you.

Thank you again to all

Ugh. It's got to the stage where instead of feeling guilty if my bin is full I feel bad when it's not full.

Horrid, horrid weather here. The worst weather with dogs and muddy feet and to have builders and contractors having to swim through mud.

All I really want to acheive still to day is a decent job on the sitting room....but I have stalled.

Normally this is time for a coffee, but I am on a low caffiene regime (caffiene is one of the things they suspect makes my brain problems worse) and I feel like a run down battery.

I WILL have a cup of herbal tea though, and proper sit down.

The worst bit is that I have lit the wood burner (I have been so hardy but now I am shaking with cold ) and my eyes feel heavy and I could just drift off to sleep......

I feel so much better than I have done all summer, but it's just so nice and warm it's making me feel decidedly drowsy.

MMMMmmmmm, so you weren't 'making a fuss about nothing' then... absolutely no mention of indigestion !! I should hope you are going to take things a bit easier!

Today I want to see if I can get DH to sort a few books and clothes. They say miracles can happen...:D

Better that you aren't comforted, Sybs, at least that means you'll take it more seriously, rather than letting those **************** ********** @*$%!@$(*@(*%($*)$*)$*) sit idly oblivious to everything.


This is from an american site: Heart Attack Signs in Women

Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.

Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.

Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help.


The UK version is:


You won’t necessarily fall dramatically to the floor, clutching at your chest – you may instead experience one or a number of these symptoms:

chest pain or discomfort, which may spread to the arms, neck, jaw, stomach or back

a dull pain, ache or 'heavy' feeling in your chest

chest pain or discomfort which feels like indigestion but makes you feel generally unwell

feeling sick, sweaty, breathless, lightheaded, dizzy or generally unwell as well as pain or discomfort in your chest.

Nearly half a million women in the UK have had a heart attack.

A heart attack is life threatening. If you think you could be having one, it’s vital that you phone 999 right away. Don’t wait - every second counts.


DO I HAVE TO SCARE YOU ANY MORE?



It's tough luck on the oblivious ones. Get a bag ready just in case you ever need to go somewhere quickly, have a list of things so that, if you do, there is no confusion about what to do about LB, Nursery, feeding him, etc, and remember - nobody ever died from a sore back.

I trust you've communicated this to your DH? So he knows he'll have to take over the childcare/shopping/cooking.cleaning etc till you see the specialist and that starts now, irrespective of his back? (If he's well enough to go to work, he's well enough to do some basic chores.)

If you haven't phoned him yet, do so now. It would be best if he knew asap just in case there's anything he might need to tidy up at work, also to mention it to his employer that he might have to drop things and run if you have to go to the hospital. This is not me being alarmist, it's only sensible, he might have to pick up LB from school for example or come and look after him if you have to make that 999 call. Also have a word with any neighbour, school mum or relative that you could call on for immediate childcare cover if you have to go in. It wouldn't be good for you to be sitting with increasing chest pains and putting off the ambulance call untill OH came back from work for example. Yes of course you may not need any of this but it would be best to put some back up in place, yes?

And to pack a hospital bag, and to write out a list of anything your OH might need to know if you ended up admitted to hospital for observation for a night or two. Days that LB needs gym kit, homework, packed lunches, that sort of thing. My OH could manage the day to day stuff in an emergency but he'd not have a clue about gym kit days or how to get in touch with the After School club for emergency childcare for example!

WS, you shouldn't be comforted. Take things a lot easier. Phone a friend to get Little Bear from school.

Listen to JoJo. Get the bag sorted this afternoon. Without running about the place.

I'd tell the school 'School dinners for the time being, bill OH at half term'. And I would let them know you're not well so they can give Little Bear the support he'll need if you're in hospital. There will be help you, OH and Little Bear can tap into if the school/family support worker know it's needed.
