Oh to be a consistent Target Member!!

Hi Jaffa, yes I'm fine. We didn't have a very early start because Joseph slept really badly again last night. He's feeling better now he's up and around. We went off to catch the bus into town but as we'd just missed two decided to have a slow meander up to Aldi's for a few things. That was quite a way for me but pleased I managed alright. It's all progress.
Pleased today because the pin numbers came for the new cards...so hopefully the actual cards will be here next so we can book the isle of wight.
The case for my new sunglasses also came so happy with that...nice pink one! (doesn't take much to brighten my day!)

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Phew I'm glad you're ok

Are you going back part time Cavegirl ?

 

[janetelizabeth]

Never far away Jaffa! lol.

Cavegirl, well done for walking 3 miles! Yes I was wondering about the work situation...maybe you're easing yourself back in gently?

Food is looking good Janet!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Lynne.

cavegirl those sound like long hours next week but the rest will do you good. I too work in school and REALLY enjoy the holidays. Glad things are going okay for Janet, Jaffa, Lynne and all. I had a huge migraine this morning but luckily the medicine worked, at least I didn't want much food for breakfast!

I wonder why the scales were up ?

The mini quiches look really appetising

 

[janetelizabeth]

Those scales continue to be a mystery to me sometimes...

 

[janetelizabeth]

Scales say the same... sigh

 

[janetelizabeth]

Rang doctors this morning and got an appointment for Joseph at 5pm to discuss his poor sleeping. He thinks it could be linked to one of his meds.

 

[ginlin]

Naughty scales!

Hope Joseph gets sorted at the doctors.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I hope you get a scales whoosh tomorrow.

Let us know how Joseph gets on

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Jaffa & Lynne...yes a scale swoosh would help.

Well on the way home from Tai Chi he went into Boots and talked to the pharmacist who kindly did some research on one particular med. Seems the one he takes is least likely to affect sleep...but if he were changed to another one of that family they can all disturb sleep. I suppose he'll just talk to the doctor about the sleep issue.

I don't think I've ever had so many phone calls in one morning!! It started with one from France at 8am!! So I got nothing much achieved and then it was time to cook lunch!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Was that a particular book or just a book to read Cavegirl? I've just started reading one, well we're sharing it actually!

Joseph said he was in and out of the doctors...she said he'd be better off leaving off that tablet! I don't think she appreciates his blood pressure problems. Last time he took it in his head to stop taking it his B/P was 200/100 within 2 days! He spoke about the sleeping issue and she was no help there either. He asked about Melatonin, she said it wasn't available except for children...
Oh well plod on until his neurologist appointment on the 7th April.

 

[janetelizabeth]

We don't have a problem seeing the same one...he had high hopes of this one because she's quite new but I think after the neurology appointment etc is finished we'll move surgeries. I'm glad they're on your 'case' now though.

Have you looked on amazon for a book...used ones are quite cheap. Or if you have a kindle that can be a cheap way. OR...download the kindle onto your laptop or computer; if you use those...actually I have one on my phone too! lol...got all aspects covered!!

Did you not go in with him ? I hope she is going to monitor his blood pressure

If you still know people in America you can buy melatonin in normal supermarkets like Walmart
I'm not sure if Holland and Barrett sell it over here

 

[janetelizabeth]

No I didn't go with him because at the last minute he said he wasn't going to discuss the med...only sleep issues.
No he definitely won't stop taking it... I monitor it here because he's a bit white coat syndrome! He buys it via Canada... I order it online.
