My words here might be few and far between for a while. I had another trip to hospital at 1.30 a.m. on Wednesday, after waking at 1 a.m. knowing something was amiss, and chest pain began. Then the shaking. not an earthquake for sure. Woke Hugh, rang the ambulance, ,they must think I like those trips. My blood pressure was so high, yet the ambulance paramedic wanted me to try and tell her what was wrong, when I could hardly breathe. Then she wanted me to walk out to the green and yellow truck!!! I struggled, with her on one side and Hugh the other, I tried so hard, with suggestions “ Keep your eyes open, Keep Walking !!!” Over and over. Guess she might have been a bit scared I would collapse. Then I think I almost yelled, well it might be called a snappy retort… “ I’m Trying”!!! Truly, it was such a long way, or so it seemed.
Whanganui Hospital E.D. has the best staff, from the cleaning lady who sweeps around the bed so quietly, or leaves it until the curtain is open, the nurses, 3 were waiting when I arrived, to all the Doctors from bottom to top. My medication has been changed, once again, and the new tablets lower my B.P. to the very bottom of the scale. I now have a referral to a cardiologist, but am classed as semi-urgent!!! So am off to my G.P. next week, hope another letter might hurry things along.
Sewing is taking a break, as is quilting, baking, and housework. Perhaps in the reverse order might have been a better way to list them.
I promise, I am still reading all your news, admiring the photos, of sunshine, cats, dogs, waterfalls, lakes and the snow.Love that snow, wherever it is.And even if I have not left a comment, I will have read every word.
Here is a collection of photos from 2014.
Quotation of the day, a Chinese Proverb,
The miracle is not to fly in the air,
or to walk on the water,
but to walk on the earth.
Greetings from Jean

Not again - oh dear Jean, I'm so sorry to read of your health troubles. Hospital is the best place for this sort of emergency, and I do hope your BP is soon under control. Such a worry for you both, and we worry too, all your bloggy friends. Do take care, and sending our love to you both.
Now that was NOT on your Christmas list was it! My fingers will be crossed for you, that all this can be sorted. Take care, hugs from the north xxx
Oh dear lady, another bumpy ride to the hospital! Hopefully new meds will have you feeling better but I keep thinking this is not good enough, you shouldn't have had to suffer like this. Take care of yourself and I will be thinking of you as we batten down the hatches bracing for a winter storm coming our way tomorrow.
You sweet woman, take it easy and take care! I'm still fighting my cold. xx
Oh Jean, as soon as your post came up and up popped the ambulance I knew you had been visiting the hospital again.
I am hoping and praying they get this sorted for you , asap!! It's so very frightening when these things happen to us, especially in the middle of the night. Take things easy, guess you can;t do much else really if you now have a very low BP. Take care.
So sorry to hear of your health troubles. Aging is a bitch...
Dear Jean, I'm so sorry to read about your health scare. I hope you can get all the rest you need, even with the holidays around the corner. I also hope that your need for a heart test can be speeded up. I love the quote and, as I have aged it really rings true to me. Every day is a miracle and we must take good care of it and of ourselves. Merry Christmas to you and Hugh. ~ Inger

So sorry you aren't too good at the moment. Take care and hopefully you will get a referral soon that will get this sorted for you. Despite your health concerns I hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas and I hope we can catch up some time in the New Year and meet each other. Hugs.
I've been negligent at visiting my blogging friends, but now I'm so sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope the doctors can soon get you stabilized, and I certainly hope you can enjoy a beautiful Christmas Day.
I am so sorry to hear that you had to go to the hospital again. I hope that your new medication fixes you up and you feel better. Have a wonderful holiday season and take it easy.
