Not to worry Sylvs - your breakfasts are always worth waiting for ! :-) <3

I went for a little walk around and have built up quite an appetite now...

I will start with the Ulster fry-up I think with home-fried potatoes with garlic and bacon I think, then I will see what I fancy for 'seconds' :-D

Thank you Sylvia.

Hope you all have a lovely day today - I am off to get little grandson in a while, I really missed not having him last Friday.

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

OOOh - did I get here too early ???

Dea Xxx

Hi all
xxx


teef all cleaned and polished, and no work needed. Back in 6 months.


Other check-up fine :-D


BUT ........... he did spot that I hadn't any blood work done "for him" last autumn. So he gave me a requisition to go and have several vials of blood removed :-( . One is the fasting for 10 hours one ............. which means I actually have to get up early and get out to the clinic for about 8:30 - 9:00 am sometime early next week :-0


I'll try to find a morning when OH can at least take me by car :-D



C ....... that must have been a shock for you!

good news for you Linda and for you Dea.


Cynthia
several ways to check intra ocular pressures.

Goldman is mounted on a table and drops and dye put in eye and a probe makes contact with the eye.

Perkins is hand held but also comes close to the eye.

These are the gold standard methods.

I care tonometer is very good for people who find it difficult to stay still such as people with parkinsons or learning disabilities as it does not come so close to the eye.

All of these used in combination with a pachymeter that measures the thickness of the cornea is even better. If a cornea is thinner than average then pressures can under read and glaucoma could be missed.

The airpuff is the least accurate as it makes people jump which affects the accuracy of the reading,

Well Ginns - S###f them then !!!

Wish I could get there :-)

Dea Xxx

Yes Dea....done that, booked the whole floor of the Italian gaff, now they ring...................


Argh!

Can't you decide on a 'time slot' to suit you Ginns and say that it will run from ??? to ???

Then say - "send apologies if you can't make it and I will pass them on "

Dea Xxx

I am trying to organise a BD party (for weeks)....now I have them calling...


Im here, can you make it later, can you make it earlier..............



Nooooooooooooooo

All good then :-D

Thanks Sylvia hope your day goes well too :-)

Good news you two! If they had wanted to see your OH's more quickly, they would have said so.


I remember mine went to Wythenshawe for a simple day job heart test and came out 10 days later having had a quadruple by-pass :-S :-S




Take care Sylvs.........may see you later ~~~

Thanks Sylvs - hope your afternoon goes well too :-) :-)

Dea Xxx

Dea,
at least they didnt find anything that needed d/w urgently so fingers crossed that appointments come soon and all turns out ok. Like me you will hate the waiting about for tests and results OH goes back in 3 months hopefully by then he will have had the other test done :-)
I cant wait to get away and "chill" with my book and no interuptions :-D
Still got to pack not even got cash sorted but will do tomorrow :-)

Glad the news was good Linds :-)

Hope you both have a lovely holiday.

My day was not too bad either - hubby has to have yet more tests and she is referring him to a Cardiologist just to rule out any problem there.

SO - nothing new - we just have to wait and see how things go ;-)

Dea Xxx

Glad the spots are OK Linds :-D


Now, who else is on the agenda.....Dea, Sylvs.............hows things?

Had to empty two of the drawers under the bed so that when OH's bed thingey comes, they can fit it. Great chance for a sort out! Big bagfull of stuff for the hospice shop.......mind you, OH needed surgery to be parted from some of it........ :-D



Must put the oven on!
