    karcher just take it easy, stop panicking, and concentrate on getting better.

    No thoughts of going back to work until you are truly well. Your not losing the plot you brain is in need of feeding. It needs 20% of your daily calories. If you feel well enough to eat then eat what ever your feel like and what ever you have. Gradually do a little more each day, and I do mean little. You will get there.

    Totally underwhelmed by my gp surgery this week. My BP was 180/100 on Monday in the surgery and I was sent to hosp for 6 hours testing (I had chest pain). No cause found so I was chucked back out, still with the pain - although not so bad. All week my BP has stayed high,and I don't feel right. Today it's 170/95 - and the doc has just told me on the phone to "Go for a nice walk in the fresh air" .... and booked me the 24 hour monitor for Wednesday. :(

    Oh Mar I'm so sorry that the surgery/ hospital were more than useless :mad:. I hope you feel more you soon. Sending many healing vibes your way.
    Karcher not going to say we told you so........... but I will anyway :rotfl:. Joking aside, I hope that this is just a blip on your road to recovery. Wishing you well and take care my lovely xx :A
    Monna I could have played with you as I was downstairs sipping tea till about 4am. I had looked on here just before 2am and thought no one was awake, only daft me :(.

    Oh great. I'll iron some T-shirts for the hot weather and start packing a cabin trunk full of books.
    I can supply some cheese scones and a few jars of tangerine marmalade. I will also throw in half a bottle of Cointreau left from the marmalade making.

    Cheese scones :D, you should definitely start packing, so long as there is real butter to spread liberally on each half and it must go right to the edges too, none of this little dot in the middle nonsense!
