    Thanks Rachel

    it's a day procedure so she should be home same day, then we just have to hope it works, they stated that the cardiac arrest during march original transplant attempt was caused by atrial fibrillation speeding the pulse to insane levels and it just stopped beating. apparently it's so rare even the surgeon was shocked, so the ablations desired goal is to eliminate the AF completely, if that's successful the heart failure caused by it will start improving possibly also fully resolve THEN she can go back for kidney transplant without any risk of a reoccurrence.

    Oh that's great that it's a same day procedure! The cardiac arrest must have been so scary. I really hope it's all successful so she can then have a kidney transplant.

    evening everyone

    exhausted today to say the least, I took my Anti Depressants last night as normal, however my Insomnia decided it wanted to hello and I didn’t manage to get to bed or to sleep until 6 this morning, then woke up just after 9 and had to have a kip of the sofa this afternoon. Just struggling mentally at the moment and finding it hard to judge myself or see where I fit into the world. I’ve been told if I want an advocate I would have to have a needs assessment done by Social Services which is yet another case of me having to fight my corner to get my voice heard. Anyhow I am gonna close down for the night and just watch some tv before an early night.

    Hey.

    Regarding tests I got the results this morning some abnormalities showed up and he wants it looked into, but I've been ruled out for renal,liver and heart failure as well as thyroid, arthritis. I don't think he knows as we expected one of the latter two and he seems worried about levels of this and that and it not being attributed to the things it would usually be

    sorry you've had a scare 💛

    regarding the radio station 60s-now mainly focusing on forgotten songs over common ones but both. of you type TVGR radio into Google you'll find it and ways of listening.

    swelling mostly hands,feet, abdomen that's why all the things that usually cause it have been tested and ruled out. lightheadedness, headaches blurred vision.

    he'll prescribe something to try get rid of it tomorrow as furosemide didn't touch it even at 120mg, something odds going on even he said that. I think that phrase makes me MORE worried rather than less

    I wish all the best for you and your mum, and will pass on the healing energy that many have given me. I'm glad your bloods didn't show heart failure you must be relieved.

    I'm going to be as positive as possible now, and put good energy out there so 2026 turns out to be a better year, not only for me but for everyone facing challenges at the moment.

    Take care of yourself.
