chest infection,aunt "G",heart bypass',muscleskeletal,stay over

I got over my chest infectiion and guess what well,well i've got another one. I can't believe it seems to be going on and on. Although, i think i might have got this infectiion from "A" as he has been ill continuous for weeks even before i caught the first infection. The times i told him to stay away if he or anyone of them are ill, he don't seem to get it in his head what happens to me when i get a cold,it always goes straight to my chest.



Aunt "G" has been badly ill with a chest infection and i'm pleased to say she is much better now. Last week however, she was in such a state. Her phone was on the blink and could'nt phone out. She managed to phone the police as she was so frightened and felt ill in herself and so confused,then the police phoned Age Concern where my daughter "SH" was working at the time. She phoned Aunt "G" then "SH" went round to Aunt "G" calmed her down and made her a cup of tea, then "SH" looked at her phone and reset the phone for her and the one by her bed,so "SH" done her good turn for the day. As "SH" was family she was ok to got to go out to visit and get things sorted for her. Normally, Age Concern is'nt allowed to go out on emergency visits. Aunt "G" was so pleased that "SH" had gone round to help her.

"?" went along to see the GP yesterday as he keeps coming over bad in himself and has refered him back to see the heart specialist. The GP told him that the consultant will most likely tell him hes to have heart bypass. "?" has been having bad turns. He don't seem to last long when he does any form of work and tires so easily/fatigued. I phoned the surgery today to see if the letter has been done and was told it is being done. He went along to the GP a few times before and was told he was to be refered,but nothing came of it. I will ring again tomorrow to keep them on their toes untill this last one has been sent.
"?" also went along to the musclesketetal clinic the other day (Monday) he is being sent for ultra sound on his right arm. It seems that he has damaged his arm, we think its the work hes done around the house lately thats caused this problem,thats without other heavy work hes done in the past. It was explained to him whats wrong with his arm. Its like when you see a rope that had frayed on the outer side and is hanging on by 3 threads, i think they mean the leaders to the fingers ect... "?" has been told he will have to have an opperation on his arm and will be sent to the London Hospital as it will be done much sooner than our local Hospital..."?" seems to be absolutely worn out. He has heart disease,bipolar,arthritis with his spine dropped on one side,now his arm...

I've found a new website for health conditions called MedHelp which i think is really good

"Z" stayed over for a few days and went home yesterday and "ST" has gone to stay at his mums untill Sunday,so i've got a few evenings to myself. I am using the laptop while "ST" is'nt here as my computer keeps clogging up on me
I can't wait for the summer to come so i can get out and about a bit more or sit in the garden for a while.

Well, thats all my news for now. Best wishes to all my online friends and who ever reads this...Astra!
