I hope they can find the reason for his fainting spells and get it under control.<br /><br />When full of worries, it is good to escape into a good program or good book. I can understand how a show like that could get one’s interest. <br /><br />Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-60372615510075990562018-01-11T22:47:57.029+00:002018-01-11T22:47:57.029+00:00Hope Col improves soon, maybe he could try moving ...Hope Col improves soon, maybe he could try moving arms and legs while seated to get the pressure up a bit so he stays upright.<br />Sorry to hear he is getting bored I suppose it is to be expected.

You mention your husband being on £7.50 a month mobile and you are on pay-as-you-go. I wonder if either of you are on Giffgaff? I've become almost evangelical about its value for money (I'm NOT a salesperson for GiffGaff by the way!)For £7.50 a month I get 250 mins free calls which is much better than my former PAYG.No contract either. Keep up the good work budgeting.

I told myself that one day, I'd just do it - some sort of need to be totally un-contactable, to have absolutely no-one know where I was, just for a while. I never did. <br /><br />Sixty miles is a long way to go to hospital - they are moving more and more to this idea of specialist centres of excellence, and whilst I understand that concentrating resources in one place can be cost effective and practical, its not so good for the patient in other ways. Low blood pressure can be as troublesome as high blood pressure. How worrying for you. With very best wishes.

Two people called "The Prey" are placed in a different location of the Canadian wilderness each episode. They are given a map with a starting point and ending location approx. 40 kilometers away. The prey are given 36 hours to reach the ending location by any means, and by any route necessary. The "Mantracker" and sidekick (usually a new one per episode) will then attempt to capture the prey while on horseback before they reach the finish line using various expert tracking skills. Some people got a long way, very rarely did the mantracker not catch them. I can't remember how much of a head start they got. There were no aides like drones, phones, gps etc. you just had to use your wits and the mantracker used his tracking skills.<br />I hope you get some positive news about Col. I'm amazed at how far you have to travel to the hospital. Thank goodness you don't have our weather, -27C, -38C with the windchill and it's snowing!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-12750126274047268822018-01-11T15:19:35.054+00:002018-01-11T15:19:35.054+00:00I hope you and Col will receive encouraging news f...I hope you and Col will receive encouraging news from his lab tests.
