Feel like giving up today.
I'm attending all my appointments and have to make another one at gps today for breathing test. Its never ending. Mr ickihun is calling it the neverending saga.
Tomorrow annual eye and feet check. Any problems there I'll be running away and joining a circus!
I had a brainwave yesterday. What if my pelvic pain is also due from a blockage in my illiac artery? Lack of oxygen causing wobbly legs and feet, hence reason for using crutch.
I don't feel I'm being taken seriously about all this inmobility, pain and lack of umf!
They see a fat lass and hayho she cannot breath properly, its because she's overweight.
I would have had a stone off by now if I didn't have all this PROBLEM. I need to teach 3yr old how to swim in time for school trials in 2yrs time. 9yr old was promised a long cycle ride companion and mini jogger to prevent boredom. He's lonely in swimming pool as we we're having soooo much fun. It is making him sad his sporting mum isn't available.
It upsets me to see his disappointment. 3yr old will do sports regardless of me. He loves it all. Football especially. I'm not great at football although I have received 5-a-side medals in the past. Medals for badminton too. I represented the school for shot put. I was one strong cookie and could lift heavy weights to the young boys embarrassment in the gym.
I was offered door work at one stage in my life. No one got past me (shoplifters) in retail. Managing shops down south before going into insurance and law.
Oh how I reminisce! Ha ha

Feeling proper poorly. Spent most of the day in A&E. Rang 111 when I woke at 7am with agonising pain on my upper right side, unable to breathe and a temperature of 102. They sent blues and twos. Apparently I have raging pneumonia.

@debrasue Did you get this on top of the pneumonia jab? Scary if so. I'm thinking 'oh I'll be ok ive had the pneumonia jab'. Obviously not.
I'm back to see gp on wednesday for echo result and breathing test request as girls were unsure which one I needed to be booked. Not convinced its asthma. If i get another batch of antibiotics I'll scream!
Breathing is bad in rest yesterday and today but has been good. No chest pain :) :) :)

Thanks @Freema . I'm ok. I think worse suffers right now. Always someone worse off. It keeps things in perspective. I'll roll with it, I have no choice. Just wish all tests were finished and a diagnosis so I can get on. Too busy for it all. Spring is coming and bicycles to prepare and plans to be made for the kids. I soooo miss swimming, the most. I cannot wait to get sorted so I can get on with enjoying activities. I hope its sooner rather than later. I'm soooo impatient. Its frustrating! :( Neither wonder I have a fast heart rate. I want to speed along but body has other ideas! I think my sister's tortoise has one up on me at mo.

well I can understand that you are eager to get back to a more active life.... but still if you can long walks I believe is good for people with a possible heart condition... of cause always with ones phone in ones hands/pocket... hope you´ll be sorted soon and really helped..... I am the impatient type too, but you also have your children to wan´t you to do a lot with them... my daugther is 16 years and actually I am glad I don´t have to do a lot with her all the time any more, but those wonderful days with ones kids do not come back so it is really good you wan´t it so much to do a lot of fun with them...

I'm struggling to walk too, due to pain in back and rear of pelvis on right side. Have a second physio appointment next week but only doing upper body stretches to keep supple. Nothing strenuous incase of chest pain. I wish I knew more about mobility other than small walks stopping very regularly and trying to build up. Everytime I try more my breathing in rest and chest pains come back. So just doing what is comfortable at mo with help of a lot of painkillers and a&e, scans and gp appointments. :(
 
Thanks for kind words @ickihun about my FBG. I'm well overdue my HBA1c, have been putting off to recover from the Christmas effect so the results aren't rubbish due to Christmas binge. Not sure if this is a good thing? I'll probably get it done in around 3 weeks.

Generally feel better, finally got rid of the cold and now off swimming. I feel so much better when my bloods are under control :):):)

Have a great Sunday ;)
