Not Coping

Oh cool @Birdofparadise8 that's such a great idea! A friend of mine did his uni placement in an aged care facility, and boy the stories he brought back! How often do you see him?

Just the volunteer thing I've mentioned to @Jynx below.

What are you doing for dinner?

No not good. I want this pain to go away. I just want all this to go away. @Blackbird11

Sorry that was for you.

Once a week @Jynx

@Birdofparadise8 🌺🙂

I have acute spasm angina (the small muscles in the arteries that supply blood to the heart cramp shut and the blood supply to the heart muscle stops - lack of blood flow to the heart muscle isn’t conducive to keeping it pumping well…it kind of feels like a heart attack - I use GTN medication to relax the coronary arteries so they let some blood through, avoiding a full on heart attack 😉🙌🏻). I also have nerve damage to the heart, so it doesn’t beat properly - sometimes it drops to 20 beats a minute for hours - I end up not being able to stand up because there isn’t enough blood pumping around. This can lead to stroke, but I take blood thinners to avoid that 👏🏻😎.
it’s not my major health issue

- just a side issue/distraction when it starts playing the fool, that wipes out activity ☺️
It’s ok 🙂🌺

I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling so good right now…

hey, would you like to imagine I’m sitting next to you on the tram? 🙂💜🌺

im like a big Labrador in human form 🥰

Imagine we are chatting…what would we chat about? ☺️🌺

Would a pace maker help? @Former-Member

I'm walking home now.

Yeah, a pacemaker is one of the considerations @Birdofparadise8 💜🙂🌺

There is some other stuff which complicate having a device in there - and decision making isn’t a strong point of complex case medicine hehe 🙂🌺

I hope the walk is going ok? A bit of movement can sometimes help..? 🌺

Like because it's metal? @Former-Member

Oh I'm just walking not far to get home from the shops. I got chicken schnitzel and veg for dinner. Should I do mash or chips?

Can I fall asleep and not wake up for eight weeks? So all of this is over with.

@Birdofparadise8 sounds really cool, I hope it brings you joy along your journey 😁

Yeah, it will be nice. I thought it was quite a good thing seeing how well I got on with Granny and that I could give that to another person @Jynx

Ah, yes - indeed 🙂 the metal is an issue due to an immune disease I have, which affects inflammation in organs (heart included), so it’s higher risk apparently @Birdofparadise8 💜🌺🙂

Aka nobody has the insurance premiums to cover that hehe 😉🤭

not to worry 🙂

Oh, chicken schnitzel and veg sounds very yum!
if I was making for you, I would do mash, because it’s a bit less chopping intensive for potato prep, and add some lovely finely diced onion and a smidge of cracked pepper, with a dash of your fav milk or milk alternative ☺️🌺

I’m sorry things feel that way ..big gentle hugs ❤️‍🩹🌺🫂

is there anything you’d like to chat about? 🙂💜
