Soldiers

I had to watch a mum of a soldier who had died on thew news this morning, so sad, she will miss him so much as will the rest of his family, this is an acceptable end when involved in a war men die, but it is not a war as we know it, why do our young men have to die for this non event, they can thank Blair and his "Weapon's of Mass Destruction" that started this mess off, so many dead, so many parents having to bury their child, it is not on, defending this country is one thing but being sent to another to die is just not on, time to think again, it is not for us to waste lives in Afghanistan, they are not interested, the rule of war lords is the norm, no matter what you do they will smile and just wait till your back is turned and that is for you the end, so its about time we realised this and brought our troops home in safety. 

Rain

It seems that the heavens have opened up on Peterborough, water everywhere, but still madness on the roads, still the idiot doing 80/90 MPH, just what madness is it, no lights on seen at the last minute, spray every where, what chance of stopping NIL!!, but on they go merrily along not a thought in the world for others, then we come to the young lady drivers, joining from the slip road, of course going at the same speed as you, unable to go into the fast lane because of the idiot doing 80 MPH, so I have to brake hard to avoid hitting her, she leaves at the next junction as I go past a dumb blond driving, just where do these young girls learn to drive????.

Hospital

No Blog yesterday as I was in Hospital, mad house really, transport to hospital 1 hour late, bed not ready, 3 hours 30 Min's wait in the day room, just in time for tea !"!!, taken to my bed at 6.15pm, and left as they were very busy, saw a health care assistant who gave me a machine for my sleep evaluation, selected a mask and away she went, supper at 8pm cup of horlicks, waited and waited finally just about to succumb to sleep when the ward doctor arrived it was then 10.35pm, answered all her questions, and she gave me a chest medical then went, put the mask on, wow how difficult to sleep, on and off  till I  thought it was morning to find it was 4.15am, I had taken the mask off so put it back on and the next thing I remember it was 7.45am, while asleep they had managed to take a blood test to see what my blood sugars were while I was asleep !!, any way 2 slices of toast and a cup of tea, well I think it was tea?, went for a chest X-Ray and got ready to come home, my transport arrived at 10am, I was not to go till the Consultant had seen me, he managed to see me at 10.45am, seems I have an abnormal amount of fluid around my heart so had to have an ECG, managed to get the transport at 11am and then home, worried because of the fluid round my heart, he said that there should be fluid b y I have too much, so hear is wnhat has worried me he is passing me over to the heart people at Papworth, thing for me just going from bad to worse.

Díabetes

I see in the news today that Obesity is a cause of Type 2 diabetes, yes that might be a precursor to diabetes but it is not the only one, another cause is Hypertension ! or high blood pressure, so do not think that you can feel safe just because you are average weight for you age and height, remember you have no idea that you have hypertension so again you can't feel safe, you can only try to keep it at bay, good food, fresh veg, no processed foods just really a good diet, symptoms of diabetes, going to the toilet a lot, very thirsty, and very tired, if  you have the symptoms you need to see your GP Soon.

Just how do we allow money lending at such a ridiculous cost to the borrower, it is known that people have got into debt with one of these companies, unable to meet repayments so talked in to a bigger loan to cover what they owe, can't meet the payment again borrow again, it is a roundabout that once on is nearly impossible to get off, interest rates in the thousands percent, what  these companies are doing is just the same as a loan shark that being illegal they have gone round the back door to legality, how can this happen?, how has the Treasury managed to allow this to happen, the problem is that we are in a recession, some people are desperate for money, so they turn to these people then on the slippery slope to oblivion, it is time to call a halt to this this loan shark legal money trap.

ADHD

ADHD is a discernible illness, can be diagnosed by abnormal X-Ray, so why is it that many people do not accept this to be true, so many talk about naughty children, it cant be denied that many are just naughty but ones that have been diagnosed are for real, it is a disgrace that many in authority do not believe this diagnosis plunging these children in to purgatory, left to get on with it, their parents labelled as inadequate, incompetent, sent on courses to teach them how to bring up their children, then to tell them that in fact their children are in fact ill, bit of a joke !!, meanwhile the child sufferers is that right??.

Health

Well I have had it confirmed today Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, so will be going on to CPAP as from Friday, the machine forces air in to you through your nose, I had a go on one for two hours once before when I was admitted to Papworth Hospital it drove me mad was so pleased to get it of but now it seems that I will be on one for some time, now comes the worse part, I have been married for 43 years this year, with the noise of this machine it would be unfair to expect her to sleep in the same room, so I will be moved down to the spare room, how sad is that??. Will let you know when I return from hospital on Sunday. Will still be doing a blog every day.
