Morning all,
Healthwise, my aneurysm has grown very slightly and we are working very hard to get my blood pressure under control and everything stable, including unfortunately my mental health. I've become a little clinically depressed, for all manner of reasons, but it's very important to get me on a level. My social worker is brilliant and all concerned in my care are now becoming aware of the socio economic impact my disease is having persay. Financially i will be looked after, will not lose my key worker home, and will be able to feed myself. I'm a bit in limbo, though managing to eat, rest and sleep well. I have to keep reminding myself that this is only temporary, once BR, had my surgery and recovered, life begins again, from afresh, so i'm really looking forward to that. I need to be in the best condition for surgery, and have all these social and money issues sorted out for me before they fix me, as the worry itself makes it very hard for the drugs to work effectively for any sustained period of time. Whence the social worker, and home care team doing their bit for me. Still, it's hard to relinquish control over one's life to another at times, though honestly you have absolutely nothing in life if you do not have your health. Chin is up and chest is out. Take care all.

Morning Quark, nice to see you again.

Glad things are coming along, even if it is a little slow, but you do need to make sure that everything is ok for the op. Sounds as though you are getting lots of wonderful support. Good news abour your home as well.

Any idea when your surgery will be yet? When will you be going bankrupt?

I see my consultant on the 15th of next month, and my social worker straight after that. Might be sooner as i only had my last cardiac echo last week at my local hospital, so waiting for those results to reach the big boys. SW will help me with all the bits, might even have my debts written off rather than go BR, they know more than me, and obviously my health and welfare is their priority first and foremost. I just need to remain calm and well rested, take the meds and do as they say. Fair enough.

I will, and thanks Jan. I'm still getting loads of upsetting calls, so am in the process of going PAYG for the mobile and getting a new number, one less thing to get stressed about. In fact i feel rather militant, i visualise this bulging lump in my heart when i get upset, getting bigger, so switch off immediately.I'll be so happy when this is all over, not only for me, but for everyone else too. x

Good idea to change your number. One thing less to worry about.

We'll be happy to see you restored to full health and wealth as well.
