I don't think she's going to be with us much longer, her heart's giving out, her kidneys are on the fritz, she's basically just shutting down and this cough has been the last straw (she already had COPD) on her 93rd birthday we took her for a good walk, but since going to the doctor and the breathing clinic in the same week we think that's where she caught the infection and she's steadily going downhill now.I've been fortunate to avoid the flu for many years now and only had minor colds until a couple of years back when this strep followed the virus around, and this year which is an action replay.Mother used to be invited in for the flu jab, what a nightmare! They called in all the oldies on the same day with no appointment, first you had to negotiate all the reversing Nissan Micras in the car park, then you had to sit in a room entirely full of elderly and often ill people for hours, she decided the dangers outweighed the benefits.Here she gets it done at the same time she goes in for one of her B12 injections so less chance of contagion.What are your lipids? Just curious. Simvastatin works well for me but even so I'm considering dropping it for a month before my next MOT to see what my unmedicated lipids look like.Good to see you got your strips and also good you repaid the compliment by educating him about low carbing <G>Mother had a really bad attack this morning, got a pill stuck in her throat and couldn't breathe properly for ages. Double ****** because I was actually lying in bed realising I was NOT coughing and my shoulder was NOT hurting. I think the cough is gradually improving now, the periods between hacking attacks are definitely getting longer. I wish the same for you. MY BG seems to have stopped being silly, that's probably a good sign.</blockquote>
