I am sitting by my husband’s bedside in hospital as he has had a heart attack. Next 24 hours are critical.

That's good news Cabbie . Enjoy your choir this evening.

Marydoll I hope we never have to go through that again. DFiL died all alone during the lockdown, in hospital, with covid just 2 weeks after his son, my DH died of cancer but at least DH was at home with us.

Hi Marydoll
I live in Aberdeen. The North East of Scotland.
I am lucky enough to live very close to the Sea.
Very beautiful, yet dark and brooding when the mood takes her!!!!

9 lbs in how much time? Please get your sugar levels checked- you don't need to go to doctors, any chemist's should be able to.

The problem is that worrying can depress your appetite too. Do you have any of those supplement drinks?
(I know, they are horrible!)

Getting some prescribed next week. I am actually eating pretty well!

Callistemon21 Mon 16-Jan-23 14:35:36

Good, hold your nose when you drink them!

I've been hiding Complan in custard, and mixing it with yogurt both of which my Mum usually eats. She hasn't complained about them tasting different thank goodness - just a small sleight of hand that might help.

Thank you for your kind comments. In case anyone is still reading, here is today’s update.
DH sat out in a chair for the first time. He soon tired and by the time he had been washed, x rayed and echo, he was exhausted. But it is progress. Still on oxygen, however.
Incidentally, his consultant said both his angina and his diabetes should have been reviewed by specialists long ago. But that just isn’t happening. It seems it has to be an emergency to get anything done.

ShazzaKanazza Mon 16-Jan-23 18:41:18

Cabbie I’ve been checking for your daily updates about your DH. I’m pleased he’s making progress. I’ve been thinking of you both and Thankyou for the updates please keep them coming.💐💐💐 hope you are taking care of yourself too xx

CanadianGran Mon 16-Jan-23 19:05:06

Cabbie, I hope they can get your DH's issues under control now that he is in the hospital. It's horrible that it took an emergency to bring them to focus, but he is in good hands now. Thinking of you both.
