I'm on a heart ward now. Wired up to be monitored over night. Have been assessed and really want some sleep!

More scans in the morning. Then we'll see what happens next

Andy has been admitted overnight to heart unit. Currently on Beta Blockers to get heart rate down, which seems to be working! Jo

Nurse is confused with my symptoms

My blood pressure, oxygen levels and heart rate (pulse) are all really good (if you compensate for my not wanting to be here which would raise the heart rate and BPba little bit)

I'm really not very fit yet

I've been working on it

But this chap asked me if I was a runner, because my heart BP and heart rate were so good

He reckons covid has done this. He had similar symptoms from his bout of covid last April. It took him a year to get over it, due to scarring in his lungs, from a lung infection

He thinks I'm suffering from what he suffered from, because 1 month on, it fits the symptoms

Jo's taking me back to A&E (ER). My heart or chest seems to be doing funny things again.

Last time I went, for these same symptoms, they told me heart was absolutely fine and they found a mild infection in my lungs which they blamed for my symptoms

It feels more like the muscles in my chest are simply agitated, rather than my heart. I've checked my pulse a few times, and that has seemed ok.

Either way, they told me to come back to hospital if it happened again. it has, so we're going back very shortly.

Please pray for wisdom all round, and a speedy resolution.

I feel, otherwise, the best I've felt for weeks. Even the cough seems to have finally disappeared today.

@davereimer good to hear the pain was relieved, and that you have a diagnosis

Thanks to those who prayed for me. Sunday morning the pain in my stomach let up a lot. The CT scan showed that I have colitis. I was prescribed antibiotics.

Ooh, bible versions - almost as volatile a subject as Vax or no Vax lol

NLT new living translation - was written for people for whom English is not their first language. Scholars say it is a good translation; my wife is English, but loves it

I like the NIV 1984 version ( if you can find it) - later versions became politically correct over accuracy

Our boys like the CSV and I prefer the ESV, which is a more accurate translate, but slightly less easy to read naturally

Older translations have their issues, and their use of words that aren't commonly used anymore

My two cents, anyway, on a topic I've thought about it a bit

For all who need it! It might not always be a physical abandonment, but parents not capable of loving and nurturing their children properly.

Goodyear Tyres had their base in Wolverhampton, England - a home town I've not visited for not nearly long enough. Dunno where they're based after they were bought out

A little bit of tyre trivia for you 🙂

You can also thank Wolverhampton for the traffic light too - sorry about that one

Great motto though -
"Out of darkness cometh light"

God’s people are meant to go on the offense. We are not meant to fight from a defensive position.

Every situation is an opportunity to be salt and light.

No bad news will ever drowned out the good news of the Gospel.

The war is already won.
Be of good cheer.
