Good morning Mick and all from a SUNNY Glasgow. Well it would be, wouldn't it, today of all days?????
Mick, our banks are open for a few hours a day, perhaps if you check online, you will find out.
Welcome to any newbies, I'm finding it hard to keep track anymore.
Thank you all for all your kind wishes. I have just spoken to DD and I am very tearful, whereas, she is being very positive about everything.
We have to remember, a cancelled wedding is nothing, compared to the heartache others are suffering at this time.
I spoke to my friend in Rome and the situation in Italy is so bad.
A year ago, I never even thought I would even get to this day, so another positive.
I received a very sobering phone call from the hospital yesterday, to discuss my propsed new treatment on Monday.
It brought the Covid19 situation very close to home.
The call was to tell me that my treatment will be postponed for at least 3 months, as it will be far too risky and they are concerned that if I have an allergic reaction, (previous history) there will be difficulty accessing the necessary, emergency intervention, as NHS is stretched to the limit.
Under no circumstances have I to leave home or be in contact with anyone for the next twelve weeks , apart from DH who is self isolating to protect me. !!! A bit of a bummer there.
Well, good job the wedding is cancelled then!
However, if I had already been on the medication, I would have continued it. Seventeen desperately ill patients with Coronavirus on ventilators in China survived. The common denominator was that they were on biologics.
China has now licensed the drug to help those who develop serious complications.
However, I think at £1000 per infusion, I don't see the NHS being able to use it here, due to the cost.
A day of keeping busy for me. The wardrobe cull didn't happen yesterday, so today's the day.
The freezer was cleared out yesterday, there are only so many dead sausage rolls and saved leftovers, a person can stomach! ?
It is full, so we will be living off that for weeks.
I hope you all have the best day you can and I am determined not to wallow.
Anyway, a postponed wedding gives me a chance to lose some more weight, not! I ate a whole Easter egg yesterday to cheer me up.
