It seems to me Don, that if you are really determined to watch leftie propaganda from the likes of Sky and the BBC, then the easiest way is to move back to dear old Blighty!Yeah , the news is weighed to the left with spades of doom and gloom , but every news channel has an angle . I used to flick through Sky 501 to 513 each morning but have now stopped it as it was all merde .
You have to remove the bracket as the wiring runs between the block and the bracket to prevent it being cooked by the exhaust if I remember from my Cavalier X20XEV
I wear one at each and every opportunity , have hand sanitizer in all the vehicles and look for and use it upon entering every shop or public building I go into.Desperately sorry to hear of this, I wish you both well.
My wife has been in the Stroke Recovery Ward for two months after suffering three devastating strokes and I will not, and cannot ,risk being a carrier .
The ward has been closed to visiting twice in the time she has been in Hospital resulting in all visits being cancelled , which is a particularly difficult thing to have to bear . This was most likely due to it being brought in by visitors , including possibly me .
It's still out there and I now know what the personal results of it being transmitted by those that don't care anymore are .
Not wishing to steer the thread away (much), I've been feeling a bit 'under the weather' lately. Nothing specific, just the odd headache, occasional tingling in places that really shouldn't tingle. Anyway, last night I remembered that I had a blood pressure monitor in the cupboard and thought I'd check it. Jeez......191/89. That can't be right, surely. Do it again.....189/87. Nah, machine must be fooked, try it on wifey...90/65. Shit.Well , that's a salutary lesson for you Steve .
So I phone the docs at 8 this morning, told the receptionist what it was about and, bingo, an appointment this aft. You usually need a letter from God to get an appointment, so that didn't cheer me up at all. At the appointment I was half expecting/hoping that I was wasting his time. But, no, same high readings. He said they were dangerously high and left it at that. Gave me Amlodipine 5mg, one a day and I have to go back in 10 days.
When I got home and googled those readings I shit meself. Phrases like 'high risk of stroke' certainly make for sober reading. So I've taken it upon myself to start a new, healthier regime tomorrow, I hope I can stick to it. I can't bear the thought of putting Mo through what Don is going through, it would be emotionally and financially ruinous.
Thanks Lads ..
There have been some pretty dark days since early April.
It brought home to me the fragility of life and how quickly it can all change .
We planned retirement for years and she took early retirement last October .
It was all supposed to start this year but will now have to wait .
I just look for small , very small , improvements as often as possible and hope for the best .
I say this in all sincerity , reach out to your wife or partner , give her a big cuddle and tell her you love her , because ..........
Very sorry to read about your wife Don,we count our blessings each day, life can be so unfair to some folk who have worked all their lives and make plans for their retirement & have it snatched away in an instant , pray that she makes a full recovery. We both still wear our masks in supermarkets etc
