Yesterday the pound nose dived against the dollar wrecking any thoughts of a ‘soft recession’ whatever one of them is. I stand by my earlier predictions that it’s going to be a hurtful time. The Putin war is the unfathomable part. He is the wild card and after the attempt on his life today he’s going to be even more of a loose canon . Read about yesterday American crash ๐ฅ here
The recession I predicted is about to become reality
I hate to be one of those I told you so people but I did. In my blog post back in January last year I predicted a recession click here to read my old post
The figures on the economy are always a few months behind so I think the predictions of a recession are with us now here on the front page of today’s Guardian
Plastic free Minster on Instagram
I have a problem! I just found and followed Plastic free Minster on Instagram and I cannot copy the logo. Click here to see it and follow the group
I find the Instagram no copy rule a nuisance but rules is rules, I only wanted to get the logo onto Google to get some advertising for this worthwhile cause.
Here is a Plastic free Margate logo instead of a ‘Plastic Free Minster’ logo
I got the image I wanted from their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=plastic%20free%20minster
Pulmonary embolism and pain management
I have an awful lot going on with my health at the moment what with the lung ๐ซ problems and my ongoing other health issues. My Multiple Sclerosis has decided that it wants to make life more difficult and my reflux problems are acute at the moment. I can only seem to be able to sleep sitting in my wheelchair ๐ฆผ . Not as uncomfortable as that might actually sound. I am awaiting an appointment for an endoscopy but as with anything hospital related getting this done has become a comedy ๐ญ of errors. The original request was made on the 30th of June but that evidently got lost but re emerged Friday last. The fact it was an urgent request is not on the radar of said appointment givers and despite two other urgent requests since I am still not any closer to getting my endoscopy ๐ฎ
I’m not moaning but I am frustrated. Heather has the full weight of all these phone calls etc full upon her shoulders and it is gradually getting her down ☹️๐๐๐๐ฉ
Update I have got an appointment next Friday! Yippee. Wish me well ๐❤️
Pulmonary embolism makes me feel awful
The last couple of days have been awful. I am as weak as a lamb and sleeping all the time in fact I may sleep at the end of this word! Sleep ๐ค ๐ ๐ด
Blood clot on the lung an Ulcer plus Pneumonia
I told you I had been into the UCHL for some fettling of my Baclofen Pump. Whilst there it was discovered that I had Pneumonia a Blood Clot on the Lung (Pulmonary embolism) and an Ulcer so my Baclofen Pump increase was put on hold until all the other problems a sorted
I have been very unwell and even now after a couple of days at home I an feeling a long long way from better. Evidently the PE (Pulmonary embolism) will take three to six months to disperse and the blood thinning tablets are to be taken with care. The Pneumonia has had some super strong antibiotics and my breathing is improved but not perfect because of my blood clot๐คจ. I need to have a camera down my throat to check out the Ulcer and some other Gastric stuff, all in all I was jolly lucky ๐ to have been in hospital when all of these things combined to do me harm. I finish five days of twice daily injections from the district nurses tomorrow and start taking the blood thinning tablets on Monday. They are the modern replacement for Warfarin
Our youngest daughter summed up the last few days by saying “if you were a cat you used up one of your lives”
No photography today. Must do better tomorrow
My camera ๐ท lay unloved in the cupboard today ☹️ I try and use it almost every day but today was my first full day home from hospital and I was weary. My visit had been very eventful for all the wrong reasons. I discovered I had a Pulmonary embolism a cyst and I even developed Pneumonia in there. Thank goodness I was in there! Photography to me is a very special therapy. It allows me to escape away from the trials and tribulations of everyday life, it’s pure escapism. I love slowing down and waiting whether it’s trying to get a photo of a bird out of the window, I have a wheelchair and there’s steps down to our garden so window photography it’s then for me. Heather gets me photos of the flowers she grows form. I play around with them, I just crop or convert to black and white. I don’t like photoshop as in my mind it’s messing up the photo.
