Home and tired. Early night for Jo and I
Got my meds to thin my blood, reduce my blood pressure and slow my heart
Have to take it very easy for 2 weeks.
Hopefully, these meds could be stopped as and when I get to an arythmia clinic, which is likely the spring at this point
Thansk for your prayers and kind messages
I'm off to bed! 48 hrs, and mess than 2 hrs sleep doesn't really work for me!!

So my heart switched to a normal rhythm this morning...didn't know that until 2 hours later when the consultant met with me and told me it had
Heart rate was down
Blood pressure was up
Waiting on an ultrasound of my heart to check that out
So I'm probably gonna be on blood thinners, until I can be processed through an arythmia clinic to make sure I don't have a stroke in the meantime. Beta blockers to prevent my heart from going off on one again by keeping its pace lower. And blood pressure meds to bring that down
It spiked yesterday but didn't want to come down
With the heart rate reducing, it seems to be coming down on its own though...
They're hoping I should be discharged later today
It hinges on a slot happening for the ultrasound of my heart, which they've been waiting for for a while
They still hope I'll be discharged this afternoon/evening
@tanjaostman just waiting to see the cardiologist to see whats going on
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
@faith20 Thanks antonio
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.

@tanja what am I missing here? Resigning within one hour?
@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
@DevotionalTreasures cool. Thanks for sharing

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

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"
@Olamide it could have been made in my home town then :-)
