Ah, that's good @outlander
finger test - yes, she had a new toy - the thingy they put on your finger usually when you're in hospital, it monitors heart rate, respiration and O2 levels , it apparently could show all sorts of things. I was too over it all to notice too much.
I dont' know what the test for infection is, if she's a good gp, it will be in there. ![]()

oh the little finger gadget @Former-Member i know those. hopefully a lower oxygen level isnt too bad- too low yes but mind sits at 96% most of the time which is pretty normal

No just have to go on the cancellation list and hope for the best @outlander.
He ended the last session on some important topics that probably shouldn't have ended that way, and still feel they won't be resloved until I see him next.
Oh well, I will get there. I can't talk about it on here hun, I don't think it would be appropriate.
I was meant to say awhile ago that I miss her too and am really worried.

@outlanderI need to work through them but it is a very troubling subject too. I know you are there if I need to talk.
I do see my pdoc on Friday to talk about meds again.
So my kids go back and your sisters go on holidays!

one step at a time @Snowie
are you finding these meds ok?
and yep re sisters. its going to eb abit frustrating due to my hand. sometimes id take them for a ride but it gets abit hard with one hand and having to lift alot of things so that sort of activity will have to be when mums off work. she gets 2-3 days off from work so thatll help abit with the pressurs too.

@outlanderthese meds are going better but all I do is feel like I take medication. I have some at breaky, lunch, afternoon, bedtime and then prn when needed. Feel like a pharmacy ![]()
I am sure they can amuse themselves most of the time, well the oldest can anyway. Hopefully your mum has them on her days off, a little less pressure on you

oh that would suck @Snowie i only take mine twice a day but i remember 3 times and it got rather annoying, maybe he can increase the dose of a morning or night and stop one of the mid day ones. ....
im planning on like crafty days and baking days that way ive only got to set up/cook but they can help decorate and do their own pictures etc. cinemas if i do midday then it takes up pretty much the day. i think itll be more smaller things but enought they can be amused. maybe a bike/scooter ride while i walk. might need a few ideas as i go through some things though! the arguments when they are bored trigger me really badly and not their fault i dont have alot of energy/motivation etc.
this weekend we had plans to go watch a horse show but im silently grateful it got cancelled- it gets abit hard driving wiht one hand over long times and the shows an hr and half away with lots of turns so not really a striaght through.

@outlanderthey sound like really good ideas. Something as easily as a scooter ride to a park can keep mine occupied for quite awhile.
Mine love getting all the blankets and making a cubby house. They normally steal my pegs! Keeps them occupied for hours. They have been known to sleep in it too!
