Morning ...the only time it's happened to me and I remember being hooked up to a bag of fluids as was dehydrated...when you know what time the nurses are coming try and drink a couple of glasses of water before they arrive ,it may help,wish you well ...pippy ...
Thank you Pippy... I do drink a lot and it comes out the other end am waiting on appointment to have it done in the hospital.... Will let you know if they get some.. Dollymouse
Hi dolly mouse,that's good you drink plenty,and I'm sure the hospital will have more luck with taking your blood ...how have you been ,how have you found the heat ,well up until today ,it's raining here in Essex,and bringing the army of slugs out after my seedlings and plants ...stay positive ...pippy ...

Sounds like you had a nice time at the farm
What hobbies do you do I crochet. Do diamond painting.. Knit a bit but all these are very slow now as hands don't work like they used to but we have to keep trying.. Enjoy rest of your day Dollymouse
Hey dolly mouse brilliant they got your blood ..the farm was amazing thankyou,I'm at my best around animals and the out doors ,my hobby's well since the stroke I've really taken to gardening ,I never had a hobby as my life was taken up with working full time and looking after my parents for 9 years sadly they have both passed away,my dad just 4years ago my mum 7years ,so didn't have much time for hobbies ,I love being with the family ,but now I'm doing the gardening potting seeds my two boys have a allotment each so both have given me some of there's to grow bits ...so looking forward to being able to drive then can get there ...I did try to crochet but gave it up I was rubbish lol ..hope you have a good day too enjoy the sun ..pippy ..

Morning ..well done ,thankyou for the encouragement about getting out ...will be good to see your grandchildren even if it is only for them to pick something up ,how funny I've not seen a bird pull snails out for ages ,could you imagine if the birds used the stick lol ,could always leave out a pair of chop sticks ?...sounds like your vegetables are doing really well ..that's brilliant ..I really need to pot on again my beetroot they are getting big ,I've also got carrots cucumelons tomatoes strawberries,lettuce and chilli's ,not too sure what will fruit but it's given me something to do since the stroke ,it's my first time for growing bits ..I love home grown runner beans one of my favourite ,because I'm not driving yet my son is coming to collect me today to go to his ,we may do a bit of supermarket shopping,it's my grandaughters birthday and as my eldest son lives near my youngest I can walk to his and give the little one her present ....I had a long walk yesterday evening with my partner ,we walked right into the woods done about 6000 steps which was good I try to get myself to do the 10000 as recommended but only some days I'm reaching it ....hope you have a loverly weekend ,I hear temperatures are reaching 27on Monday ,much love pippy x
