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.

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.

A Great study in Timothy for all men who desire Godliness.

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

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.
We try to open our windows once a day. Even when it is less than warm. Just for 20 minutes, or so.
I'm sitting here, while we're freshening up the house - with the windows open -wondering if I should search for "symptoms of hypothermia"....perhaps we should close them again soon lol
Maybe 20 minutes is optimistic today 😜 😂
Nice to have some fresh air though!

May the words of my mouth and meditation on my heart be acceptible to my Redeemer and King!
Woke up from a deep sleep at 1215, very confused, cos I could hear Jo's coughs in the distance
Checked several clocks all showing the same time, bit it was light outside
Very confused!! I couldn't recall her kiss me goodbye, like she always does
Turns out Jo didn't go to work, as the job she had to do today was cancelled
And I'd slept solidly til after lunchtime
Maybe I overdid it with that walk yesterday!!
Anyway...time for a rest, and let myself wake up!!
It really is the afternoon!!!!!

I’ve been having serious pain in my lower stomach. Having CT scan on Monday. Appreciate your prayers.
my latest post (and first for a while)
all to do with Covid, fear and God's perspective
Covid and The Golden Ticket
Take your mind back, and you might remember seeing the first signs that Covid-19 could well be a real issue, heading our way, like a freight train running along the tracks towards the edge of a cliff!
Scroll on a couple of years, and it is still making the lives of tens of millions of people difficult, at best. It has taken many loved ones from their family, way ahead of time, and it has created an abundance of fear.
We’ve seen governments, the media – and especially social media – capitalising on the fear of covid, to spread more fear for their own ends: as one doctor recently asked, where are the international campaigns, outrage and outcry about the dangers of eating too much sugar, or drinking too much alcohol: covid is indeed terrible, but there are other serious health issues out there too, which seem to have been forgotten about.
Longer walk today.
Went easy up the [gentle] hill. My heart wanted to know what an earth I thought I was doing. Been a while!
Still. Home, tired and resting
30 minute walk under my own power today. Then, when Jo came home, I drove out to our local supermarket - which I really enjoyed...I've been getting a dry cough of an evening, but the Aircon sorted that straight away.... would've been useful knowing that a week ago!
Still, I'm getting slowly better, Jo is back to work, and the boys are back on their home ed
None of us is 100%, but we're all better than yesterday...and that matters!
Meanwhile, loads of Jo's colleagues are also going down with covid, many quite hard.
Thanks for your ongoing prayers
Onwards!!

A preacher said, "Anyone with 'special needs' who wants to be prayed over, please come forward to the front by the altar."
With that, Leroy got in line, and when it was his turn, the Preacher asked, "Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?" Leroy replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing." The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy's ear, placed his other hand on top of Leroy's head, and then prayed and prayed and prayed for Leroy and the whole congregation joined in, with great enthusiasm.
After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and asked, "Leroy, how is your hearing now?"
Leroy answered, "I don't know. It ain't 'til next week."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😛
@tanja do you have any figures on numbers of deaths from covid v abortions? In any nation?
Thanks my family for your prayers
I've just been out for a beautiful fall walk. 30 minutes, and pretty slow. But that's my first proper exercise in nearly 3 weeks! My legs are feeling it...but I feel great for getting out under my own power.
I've missed most of the really beautiful days and foliage. But saw some beauty in the nature near our home none the less
The leaves are on our driveway
The green path is actually a steep slope...it made me feel hopeful - tomorrow I will try a proper walk into the fields, and get some more exciting photos
Exciting to me, though, cos it represents the ability to breathe and walk 🙂
