The hypertension, high blood pressure club ?

It's a joke, she doesn't burn some funny Joss (sp?) sticks round the house does she ?

I saw a comedy gag, and I jumped on it.

Love to you and your wife.

I know its a joke i thought my reply was too

I'm a bit thick, tired, and possibly, maybe, had a few beers.

well it is friday night and its been a long hard week...carry on

 

[Barking Mat]

Well, anyway, getting back to high blood pressure...

I think mine's under control, I've a meeting with my doctor in 3 months, to see if it's under control. I feel fine, but some days forget to take my pill in the morning, so I have some in my car and at work, for when I realise I wasn't awake and have forgotten to take it, some mornings I'm not sure if I took it ? Memory is that bad.

Main issue currently, is often I'm working on my knees, or bent over an engine, then I stand up, head goes well spinny, which suggests low blood pressure to me ? This is fairly regular, and something to bring up next time I see my crap doctor. Really must change doctor.

Typical day then.

You'll only get a worse one.

Oh I am definitely going to die, I am just trying my best to do it on my terms and get the timing just right!

Quite right.
We're all going to die....I've even had a few practice runs. It's how that really bothers me.
Scariest is the breathless one's. Empathy for freshly landed fish.
Peritinitus delirium is better.

I am right there with you on that. I thought I was "out of condition" but transpires my heart was giving up :-( No more Marathons for me!

My wife tells me stories of patients seeing things. Odd what they see

Coming round in Intensive Care (frequent visitor) I believed there was a ride-on train set running around the room the nurses couldn't see.
On previous times I've been in a nuclear bunker, an over-turned ambulance, the doctors were trying to kill me (because of the secret code I had in my brain), inside a war-time bus driver recovery hospital (wtf) and many others.
Delirium is never boring.

Not even the choccy ones either. I was misdiagnosed with asthma, exhausted, took early retirement and 2 yrs later correctly diagnosed. If it been indentified first time I wouldn't have lost out on my pension or might even been able carry on. What a f-up!

No. They are on strike again.

It is a track inspection.

Postural hypotension. It does suggest low BP. There could be other things going on too. Anaemia or low B12, I think.

 

[prepman]

Last conk-out op I had I was conscious of the ward sister giving me the stink-eye and a dose of 'mind your tongue' when I came around. I don't know what I'd been saying.

I'll send you a bitcoin link and once funds are received I'll send you the full transcript.

After my massive operation in 2016 i woke up with no smell there is only 3 things i can now smell, burning wood, dog sh1t, and petrol.

Keep clear of dogs with diarrhea on wooden funeral pyres doused in petrol?

Sounds about right I get regular B12 injections, but to save the appointment at the Drs my Mrs just does them. Funny how it aligns on the calendar with our alpacas vitimin jabs too. Different vitamin though! Least she says it is!
