| 1325032 | 2013-01-26 19:50:00 | Apparently they are announcing the changes to the WOF today. I tell husband this, this morning. He tells me he has no idea what this about, knows nothing about the WOF or any changes. They have been debating this, as you know, since March last year. The ads on TV and news articles and polls. He even commented several times himself about it. Now he has no idea......then after I print it all out again and show him, he still doesn't know but is asking me what is the announcement and not comprehending that they are doing it later, we don't know yet. This is sort of what happened when he ended up in hospital last time, although that was worse. He doesn't get that either.....his sugar levels at present are a bit on the high side, but I checked and last night he went to bed with it at 3. he doesn't get the problem with that either. It should have been 6 - 9. Slow damage over the years......it's not reversable either.... |

I've had to call an ambulance a few times for my mum after she's become dopey and collapsed. They do all their tests and find nothing wrong, despite her being out of it for half an hour. A bit spooky for all concerned... you can't explain it, can't predict it, and can't prevent it. Certain head positions can aggravate it. Looking up is not good. |

| 1325036 | 2013-01-27 01:59:00 | Yes...it's not the getting up that's a problem. It's the 43 years of lots of lows that have done the damage now. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1325037 | 2013-01-27 05:45:00 | Yes, we really have to learn how to look after ourselves. So was he doign anythign wrong fro those 43 years ? or is it just bad luck? My latest blood test shows that my iron is a bit low. |
