Nice People 12: Nice in Nice

There's an NHS page about chest pain here: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chest-pain/Pages/Introduction.aspx

I think you should *undoubtedly* have called an ambulance at the time. Not hesitated. I really can't see any downside. You're not wasting anyone's time.

The question is what to do about it now that you have survived 24 hours? I hope you will go to accident and emergency either tonight or tomorrow morning, when they are likely to be less busy than tonight.

Perhaps you could discuss it with the NHS non-emergency telephone number, 111?

The bad thing about posting in catch up is that you post something light-hearted into the middle of something serious. Get it checked out mas. It's important.

Things are a bit mixed here. Had quite bad chest pains last night. I've had similar twinges before but last night I had pains in my left arm, felt breathless. Probably should have called an ambulance. I'm here to tell the tale anyway, the pain faded and I went to bed. If it happens again I think I'll go to A&E. I booked an appointment at the doctor's but that's not till the 15th :eek: I might not make it till then! There's a walk-in centre in town which I might go to.

I think I've read that the breathlessness in combination with the chest pains is the thing that you really should get looked at. And IME A&E docs would always rather that you went in and got sent home again than that you stayed at home when you needed to go in.

One of the calamondins in my conservatory is flowering - smells gorgeous. And one of the others, which I had allowed to dry out and feared was dead, is growing fresh leaves so has clearly survived my neglect.

The NP understand that. Think no more of it.

Have just watched the astroturf stairs and fishbowl loo wall show. No way would I let that bloke anywhere near my house!

I cut my lawn just before more furries arrived... LIR said "keep it short now" ... and I agreed. But since I saw more furries I've not fancied the thought of going into the shed to get the lawnmower out - nor cutting the grass where they've been eating, peeing, whatevering ... so I've left it .....

Movement is good, it makes life scary for them .......

And I'd still keep that grass short.

Keep it inhospitable for them. Let the others the others in the street Continue the fight you've started and keep your place free if you can.

No reason you should provide a poison station for ever.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to go to the walk-in centre tomorrow. First sign of any symptoms tonight I'll ring for an ambulance.

In the mean time I've stocked up on aspirin

So glad you got to see your dog - must have been a welcome break from "rehab". Mmmm, black pudding salad sounds yummy! :drool:

Help to dress - that's difficult. A voluminous cashmere shawl might help? Soft and warm, no sleeves to battle with. Bit on the pricey side, :eek: I usually buy in their sales, when prices do come down considerably. I've had a red one of these for around 7 years now, it's lovely and soft and cosy and great for chucking round yer neck on cold winter evenings! (I have no link to Pure Cashmere other than as a very satisfied customer.)

There are various websites that do clothes for people who can't manage buttons and so on. Most of the stuff is a bit naff though to my eyes. But velcro is your friend! Get one of your friends to stitch to your cardigans and skirt/trouser closures? Of course for it to appear cardigans/jackets closed the correct way for a female you'd have to get male clothes for it to look right IYSWIM. But I doubt people really notice that anyway.

I know I'm only new here, but I'm so glad to see you back posting dear Spirit! :j May your arm grow stronger, and your walking improve. My very best wishes to you from Liverpool.

I have a cashmere wrap
In with as it is an old favourite. My neighbour has sewn Velcro only on my dressing gowns. I want to wear my normalclothes. Out of work tops,gilets , jeans and clogs. Jeans are the problem along with bra's cannot do bra's one handed even sports bra's are tricky

I do expect to do well and get back most functionality it will just take time and a lot of practice. I am learning to be patient.
