Night night all .
I am really ready for my bed tonight. . Had an early start to do some volunteering , doing tree and scrub clearing on some meadows that have rare orchids, left at 2pm. Then off to the sailing club to do a little ‘ fishing ‘ for a friend of mine, who lost something last Sunday . It took a couple of hours but I eventually had a bite 😂😀.

Not read todays posts because I have spent most of the day in A&E
brain was a bit weird this morning (Yes - I know) but badly weird
I forgot my wife's name and the names of the Grand Kids - they came back after a while but that ain;t good
anyway - went to A&E and was stuck there for 6 and a half hours
doctor was great and so were the nurses - just took ages
seems like I might have had a TIA - maybe
so I can;t drive for a while - which will bugger up picking the kids up from school which we do once a week!
and other things like shopping
still -could be worse

@ebikeerwidnes this is a difficult post to read. I hope you're feeling better now but more importantly getting all the necessary referrals to treat the potential causes of the TIA.
Do you feel everything has been properly explained to you?

Good morning,
An older chap I know, mid 70s, is off sick and in bed with what the hospital thinks is some form of infection.
However whatever it is, it manifests itself with stroke like symptoms; slurred speech and memory issues.
Does this sound familiar to many others?
Not sure if this is helpful or encouraging though.
Bye

Not something I have experienced personally, but, I believe urine infections sometimes produce stroke or TIA like symptoms.

From the very small amount I know there is a complicated relationship/interaction between strokes, TIAs and UTIs. A stroke/TIA can trigger a UTI and a UTI can trigger a stroke or TIA. I don't know much more than this other than a couple of older friends have been very concerned when they've had a UTI.

On to more cheery matters. Good Morning. Dry and cold. We have a heavy frost and it's currently -2⁰. The sky is clear and we are forecast for a beautiful day. Not much on really. I need to do my stretching soon before I head out for a spin class at 9.30. This afternoon it's the monthly u3a Film Club that I run. I'm a little nervous as we will be watching a film that I only find mildly interesting. Mark Rylance in "Phantom of the Open". Mrs P says, and she's quite right about this, I shouldn't only show films that I enjoy/think are good. This one has been suggested by a member of the group.
I've been scrounging for shelving units, old cupboards etc for my new shed. A neighbour has offered me a couple of unwanted B&Q units. I have to collect those later today. And that is it. Exciting day.
Speaking of films, I watched "Number 24" last night. A Norwegian film based on the life of Gunnar Sonsteby, I don't think I could call it biographical. Gunnar was a leading fighter in the Norwegian resistance and is/was the most highly decorated Norwegian civilian. There is necessary violence in the film but it is not a graphic or violent film. The approach to the story telling is very interesting, it's worth watching for this alone.
