Confusing Week


Hi everyone...
I hope your all keeping well. "?" came in for an hour this morning then left. Well, quite a bit has happened since i last wrote here. The surveyor from the council came by on Thursday to look at the outside of my kitchen wall where the water is seeping through. He said he will come back the next day as he has'nt got any ladders with him so he could look at the down pip from the bathroom, which he did do so on Friday last. He said he will get someone a long to repair what he thinks is a leeking pipe from the bath which the water is penetrating the wall from the outside each time the water is let out of the bath. I don't know how long i will have to wait for this to be done, i know he told me seven days, it might be earlier or even later...you never know with the council.

Last Tuesday evening, "?" came over bad and collaped at his friends house. He told him he was half conscious and mumbling for almost 25 minutes. He did'nt call and ambulance. "?" did tell the GP the following day when he had his appointment. He told the GP about what had happened to him and that he was sweating so bad and what else he felt and that he is very unsure of himself. The GP is refering him back to see the heart specialist again, i don't know how long that will take, being the hospitals are bursting at the seams.

This has happened twice before to "?" to my knowledge. The second time i called the ambulance. "?" had gone to the bathroom, then there was a loud thump noise i called out to him and got no answer, so i went into the bathroom and he was laying half in the bath and half conscious and mumbling a load of nocensence that i could'nt understand. At first i thought he had a stroke or something. I called the ambulance and while they were on their way "?" started to try to get himself out of the bath. With my help he leaned on me and manouvered himself to the bedroom where he fell on the bed. The ambulance men came and took him to the hospital, i went along with him. He was examined, his ecg, b/p ect...was all out and they wanted to keep him in, but "?" would'nt stay in hospital. He went along to the GP the next day and refered him to the heart specialist. Thats when he first found out he had heart disease. This Bipola thing he has don't help non either, hes a wreck the best of times. "?" had 3 stents inserted into his heart two years ago last May and was due to go back to see the consultant around that time, but he has'nt had any letters to be reviewed.

"A" phoned last Tuesday, he said he was coming home Friday last. I phoned "L" ( Friday evening ) to see if "ST" was coming round on Saturday as normal, she said he was, then i asked if she had heard from "A" she said he was there around 2:30pm and he went along with her to collect "J" from school and he stayed for half hour then left.

Saturday, we picked "ST" up, then "A popped in for an hour, he seems to have quiten down and put on a bit of weight. He took "ST" with him when he left and went to pick up "J" as they were going bowling with "A" ."?" and i had a bet on the Grand National. My horse "d'Argent" fell so did "?" horse, he had "Simon". Later, "SH", "Z" and "SH" new manfriend "ST" (he has the same name as our "ST" i can see this is going to be confusing) came by on their way home from having a meal at Harvesters.

I phoned aunt "D" this morning to let her know that i will be round next Sunday to visit her for the day, she was telling me my cousin "M" ( not my cousin's wife "M" i've mentioned before, this one is my cousin "M") has got cancer, she had it before, but it has returned to her bones and it don't sound too good for her. She is the sister of my cousin Floss in Canada whoses other sister Renie who lived in Seatle had died of cancer a couple of years ago, the one i mentioned about who worked for Englebert Humperdink...Thats Renie in the pic below with her husband "T" and Eng...

It always seems to be bad news that comes my way, perhaps something nice will happen one day aye...I will have to leave it here as "?" will return around 5pm and i've to get some tea done ect... So, you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and i hope you all have a good week ahead of you...Best Wishes to one and all...
