annieuk Posted April 22, 2020 #876 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks Andy. I think we must live very near to you. Warsash is about two miles up the road from our village. I lived in Warsash in Newtown Road when I was teaching many moons ago. It was a bungalow just opposite the Nautical Bookshop which I don't think is there any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to have fortnightly blood tests and the letter informed him that they can arrange for a phlebotomist to come to the house to take blood rather than him having to go to the local surgery or Community Hospital. We were very impressed by that and it's being arranged. Take care,pleased that he is getting bloods done at home. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annieuk Posted April 22, 2020 #880 Share Posted April 22, 2020 We're coping thanks Andy. My husband, a usually incredibly active person who never had a day's illness in his life until a year ago has been laid low with this horrible illness which attacks healthy blood vessels and nerves, not incurable and can be stabilised hopefully to avoid any further damage, but it's a slow process. We're lucky in that we have a daughter who works very near us and she sorts out prescriptions etc. We're on the Ocado priority list - I've used Ocado since I broke my ankle over ten years ago and have found them really good so that's been useful. So we cope and just think how lucky we are to have a garden so we can be out there even if we can't go outside the property at all because of my husband's illness. He's itching to be able to do more than he's able so we are hoping the current medication is going to work. There are many people far worse off than we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amfc_lenny Posted April 22, 2020 #882 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Feeling very guilty at the moment as my mum has been discharged from hospital into a care home, as the local authority won’t offer her care at home. She also lives in Salford which has had according to the statistics the most care home deaths in the country! I’d have her stay with us but with both of us trying to work from home in a 1bed flat it’s really not possible. 😟 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear your problem with your Mum and lets hope that a better place comes along for her. I'm sure you will do whatever it takes but under these circumstances there is not much more you could do. Chin up and good luck for the future . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emam Posted April 23, 2020 #893 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This may be of some use to some of you who can't get out. Though I think it's more a northern shop. Graham don't look.

I may have worn comfy trousers and not washed my hair but I always get dressed! When I was made redundant last year there were a few days when I got up much later but I always found having a shower and getting dressed made me feel better so I forced myself up! On lates today (1-6). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
