Yeah, ok but down



Hi folks

Thanks for those who enquired if I was ok. Pookie I am sorry I haven't been in touch. Have checked messenger but continually missed you for a chat.


My shoulder pain persists and forced me to go to ER. My blood pressure insists on staying high and last time I went to my gp I ended up with a lecuture about being positive. I felt like asking "What has that got to do with the price of eggs?" He must have really upset me as my BP just went higher and higher, and my shoulder pain was out of control. ER could find nothing wrong and did bloods. Well after stabbing me four times and hitting my arteries. I think the doc thought I was daft or deaf he was nearly shouting at me asking questions and the nurse was trying to get a canula in and hitting my artery and blood was pouring everywhere. With the oxygen mask going full rate no wonder the doc couldn't hear what my answers
were. I just cracked up.


I came home worn out and wondered why I had bothered to seek help. Was just glad to know that it was not my heart as I had such a tight feeling in my chest.

Easter approaching is a fragile time for me family wise. We will be on our own which will be nice not to have to bother with meals etc, only for the two of us. Like Santa the Easter Bunny
doesn't know where our house is.

I saw the post on the California trip. It has got me thinking and wondering if I could make it over. Anyone else considering it too? Hope you are all well. Jessie love to hear from you.

Pookie sorry to hear about your pain etc. Hope you can get some sense out of it all. Tons of love Billie

Hello Billie

I am so sorry to read of the Insensitive care you received. I wish there were something I could do. I care for people everyday where I work and the Dr. nor I would ever consider treating anyone so badly. It is such a shame. The same thing happens around the world.... I just hope they all know that there is such a thing as KARMA and it will catch up to them!

I am planning on going to Florida and if you could make the trip I would be thrilled to be able to meet you! If Kay could make the trip it would be even more wonderful. I don't know that i will ever be able to do this again... we never know what the future holds, so I am going to go to this event. How I hope and pray you can make it.

Pookie... so sorry you are in such pain as well. I hope the docs figure it out soon!

Have a great day PM/ICD friends... I must dress for work.

focus on positive

i really have to focus on the positive. like simple things. e.g. a warm house, a nutritious meal. i try every day to find something positive to do for mankind. it is really hard for me but i just try not to look backwards only now. i am trying to get to florida and don't have a lot of support. i will leave it for now till closer. i am going to try to be there. i am sorry to hear of your treatment. that is totally unacceptable. so move on and be happy. easter will come and go. try to enjoy the day with the family that are there for you. love jessie

Sorry to hear that Billie.

Hi Billie, wow that sounds terrible, you must have more tolerance than me as I would have punched him in his load gob.
But enough of the violence, I hope you are feeling fit and well real soon.
Remember what I said--- I will swim Bass Strait and we will go out and have a ball.
Love Barbara.

You know you're wired when...

Your life has spark.

I wasn't really self-conscious about it. I didn't even know I had one until around six or seven years old. I just thought I had a rock in my side.
