How is your day going?

Morning all I hope yous have a good day whatever your plans are.

@Amberpearl
I’m so sorry to read about everything that's going on with your health, you’ve had a lot to deal with lately I really hope the doctor can sort your meds out so you start to feel better and more comfortable. I think thats great advice you got to ring 111.

@luvpink
Hiya I’m glad you’ve woke up feeling happy I think the sunshine helps with that 😊enjoy your day.

@Teigr
Hi how did the wedding go, was it yesterday ?
My sons is on Thursday I’m actually quite anxious about it, it’s just been in amongst a lot of people, but I’m staying over so at least if things get to much I can go to the room for a breather.

@Sandy_123
I hope the grandkids slept well.

I was going to ring the surgery in the morning

The nurse I saw is on holiday

I can't function on those meds

Hi @Amberpearl, Did your nurse explain the reason why they've prescribed blood thinners? (benefits/risks etc.).

Yoga is good to do (I should try that!) but it cannot replace/do the job of blood thinners but I don't think you meant that.

Sorry, but at the risk of sounding a complete and utter nag....111 are very good - I'm sure they also send an update of calls through to your GP - that would give them the 'heads up' for tomorrow so you're not without blood thinners for a ? 3rd day. Take care and 🫂 to you.

I understand @Amberpearl.

Apart from the AF charity I mentioned I think on Friday, the Stroke Association website also have very good, reliable information on blood thinners - as well as a Forum - just in case you want more information in making the decision that's right for you, before you speak to either a doctor on 111 or your GP tomorrow.

The nurse you saw will be experienced/knowledgeable (particularly if she is a nurse prescriber) and would have prescribed blood thinners on the basis that the benefits for you to go on them (because of the AF) outweigh the risks.

It is, of course, always our decision as a patient to decide whether we consent to any treatment, including medication (and 111 can also advise on side effects too). Just want you to be fully informed that's all, and I'll stop rabbiting on now ! With very warmest wishes to you.

I did speak to Tracey the lady you mentioned

Very nice and emailed me links

The wedding went well thanks @Lou67 ,the bride is Comorian so it was very different to the weddings we've been to in the past.

Lots of fun though.

I hope everything goes well on Thursday.

Thank you

You're very welcome @Amberpearl it's no trouble at all. Very warmest of wishes to you 🫂.
