Back again

 Yes, back home again after a "funny turn" in the middle of the night.   My son rang the doctor and he sent the paramedic who promptly send me off to hospital as he thought I had probably had a fit.  After the scan it was decided I probably had had a fit.    I was kept in overnight in a pleasant little ward with three other ladies and then yesterday afternoon we were all sent home - after only being in there one night.  I feel fine - I have had one before, a long time ago so I understand about such happenings.   But I feel quite back to normal now so shall carry on. 

Friends coming for lunch on Thursday.  My treasure of a cleaner is cooking me a Shepherd's pie and another friend is doing buttered cabbage and other veg.   I am providing the"afters" (Wensleydale Fruit Cake and strong Cheddar Cheese).    It will be good to get back to normal although the little spell was interesting - the lady in the next bed was very chatty and we had interesting talks

In the time I have been typing this it has become a most beautiful day- light breeze, blue sky and full sun.   All the Spring flowers are coming out - I have large patches of snowdrops and crocus in my back garden as I sit here looking out of the window.  The situation in the Ukraine seems to get worse daily - the refugees, the suffering, the deaths and now this morning Ukrainian men seeking out men they accuse of being traitors - hatred seems to breed hatred in overwhelming amounts.   

I'll be 'back to normal' tomorrow but just going to have a stroll with Priscilla now while the weather is so beautiful.   See you then.

Good news, enjoy your walk in the sunshine.

Good to hear your turn turned out well. When your friends come, get them to make the coffee.

Dc said...

Gosh, glad all is now well. Let’s hope no more occur.

JayCee said...

Glad to hear that you are sufficiently recovered to feel like a stroll with Priscilla. Take care.

Tom Stephenson said...

Oh, poor Weave. If you want an uplift, watch the iPlayer program I have a link to in my last post. It is relevant to your comment about hatred breeding hatred.

Glad you are back home.
It is good to see the sunshine. xx

Glad to hear that you've recovered. Always best to get these things checked out.

I’m glad you “turn” was short lived and all is ok. Very frightening when you are on your own. Enjoy a gentle day in the sunshine.

Sue in Suffolk said...

That must have been a worry even if it was a short one.
Lovely sunshine here today but a bitter cold wind

Ellen D. said...

Glad it all turned out well. Enjoy your walk and stay safe!

Marcia LaRue said...

Curious as to what you consider a "fit" ... is that like an epileptic seizure or stroke? None of those are good!
Wondered what had gone on with you, so I am very glad you are feeling better and doing well enough to go for your walk.

Nice weather and spring flowers is a beautiful image.

I was thrilled to read that you're well after your scary episode. It must have been comforting to have been placed with other women at the hospital who had been through a similar situation. It always helps me when I can chat to someone who knows from experience what I've been through.

We Canadians, as with so many countries, rallied around the Ukraine. The Canadian public is being told to donate to the Red Cross which I will do today. I read in the Times that only 8% of the Russian public supported the invasion of the Ukraine, (according to a survey done in December.) I'm sure there's even less support now. I hope Putin is dying inside as he realizes how much this is costing Russia financially. He must also be stunned as to how quickly the world jumped to the support of the Ukraine.

So glad you are back and better. We missed you and hope you have a nice day.

Minigranny said...

So glad that all turned out well and you're back home! Take care.

Susan said...

I'm glad to hear you are okay and back home after a short stay in hospital. Your view of spring blooms sounds delightful. VP continues on as shock waves impact the democratic world. Ongoing support for Ukraine is both key and critical.

Hello from Canada. I've gotten out of the habit of commenting lately, although I still enjoy reading posts from people. However, I must tell you that I am glad you are feeling well, and at home. You do indeed have wonderful friends and family. Take care. -Jenn

Glad you are all OK now. Take care.

Bovey Belle said...

Sorry to hear you had a "funny turn" and glad you were checked out at the Hospital and soon back home again.

It has been very spring-like here today and I have been labouring out in the garden. 3 hours - not like the all-day sessions I could manage not that long ago, but a good start.

Trying to avoid the news - just once a day is enough.

I'm glad that you are okay and home now. Please take care there and stay safe and healthy.

Librarian said...

I was wondering the same as one other person who commented; were you dizzy, fell, or did you faint? But at least you managed to get in touch with your son, or was it via the helpline button you wear?
Anyway, I am very glad that not only did you find your short stint in hospital relatively pleasant, but you feel well enough today to go for a stroll.
Your lunch with friends sounds great, and I agree with Rachel - let one of them make the coffee (or at least bring it through for you).

As ever I admire your spirit. Take care.

Carol Caldwell said...

I don't comment often but always read and I too am glad that you are back home safe and feeling better. Take care.

Bonnie said...

I'm so glad to see you back! I'm sorry you had to deal with a frightening experience like that but how fortunate it was short. Please take care, you have many people that care greatly for you!

Susan said...

I'm glad you are home safe and sound.

Red said...

Luckily you had nothing serious. I hope you don't have such an issue again.

Mary said...

Knowing you're safe at home again has made my day dear Pat.
Those unexpected hospital visits are never fun.
Almost ended up in the ER last night with Bob - his B/P problems are a scary problem lately - but he did a lot of deep breathing and popped a couple of his B/P pills, slept well, and today is somewhat better. A doctor appt. required tomorrow though!!!
Take care dear friend. x

John Going Gently said...

I’m watching you carefully old girl
Remember you are loved dearly here

Don’t go anywhere just yet x

Barbara Anne said...

I'm so glad that worrisome turn wasn't a bad thing after all and that you're home again, intact!

Long ago I read that hatred is taught by adults or by experiences and have always thought that the saddest and most harmful thing.

Big hugs!

vic said...

My goodness, how scary and worrisome for you. Glad to hear that you got checked out by the Dr. and he felt you could safely come home.

Take care.

The Furry Gnome said...

So nice to hear of your early spring flowers!

sparklingmerlot said...

I was getting a bit worried. Glad to hear you're home and back to normal. Your spring garden sounds beautiful. I can almost smell the fresh breeze and flowers.

Cro Magnon said...

Good to hear you're feeling better again. I suppose one of the worst things about Ukraine is that we all feel so useless. There is nothing we can do, but watch in horror as that dreadful man wreaks havoc. I feel so sorry for those poor helpless people.

Sue said...

I'm so glad that you are safely back home, it must have been worrying for you and it's always wise to agree to being checked out in hospital. The weekend weather was lovely wasn't it, very cold but so lovely to see sunshine and blue sky.

We also had become worried about you.
So pleased that you are home again and looking
forward to your visitors on Thursday.

Good to know you are home and able to go walking!
