Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow. I hardly slept, afraid I would sleep in, as have to be up early to take my car in to the dealership on the other end of the next town. I'm quite apprehensive driving in the rush hour, as I haven't driven more than a few miles all week. Some of the school children are back here, so its quite busy.
Mick, I'm curious, as to why you need a 300mg dose of aspirin, when you have been prescribed 75mg, as I have. 300mg is what you are advised to take by the 999 staff, when you have a heart attack.
Are you anxious about having another attack? I know I was, but the anxiety does lesson after time. I found the cardiac rehabilitation team very supportive and I know you will too.
I'm sure you are aware that aspirin is a blood thinner and it's best to stick to the prescribed dose.
Yesterday, after injecting myself, I had a bleed at the site, so a word of caution here, about taking too much aspirin.
I had two pleasant surprises yesterday. Late afternoon, the doorbell rang and it was Dollie and DIL. She had popped down to her mum's for something after picking Dollie up at school. Dollie was for inviting herself in, which of course isn't possible. Her mum seemed very anxious about her coming close to us. ☹
It was quite chilly, so she stretched herself out in the porch and without being asked, proceeded to give me a phonics lesson! My Zoom lessons have paid off!!! # proud gran. I have missed a year of her life, where has my baby gone?
The second was from the orthopaedic dept of one of the Glasgow hospitals to say they were going through the referrals made in lockdown and did I still wish to be seen about my hip replacement. Of course I do! The doctor was very supportive and said if I was really struggling to ask my RA consultant to contact them to bump me up the list.
Anyway I'm off now on my adventure. I'm quite excited. I shall be back later. Love to all our struggling friends. Auntieflo and Mr&Mrs Georgesgran, always in my thoughts and prayers. ?
