The SCREAM thread

Great. So my car is stuck miles from home now with brakes stuck on. I have to somehow get to my clinic appointment with my DSN in the morning (on the complete opposite end of town), find a way to get back to my car, somehow limp it 5 miles to the nearest town to a garage with the brakes stuck on and get to work (which is 20 miles from home).

I need my car!

Oh no @db89 . I miss driving. I wouldnt trust myself at mo. Happy to use public transport for my appointments otherwise I jump a taxi. At least there, so I'm on time. Especially if important. Tramadol is a life saver.
A night job I had some years ago now had me driving silly miles, at 2pm in the morning to work. Looked after my toddler on returning home and slept at nap time to survive the hundreds of pounds for nursery fees trap.
One badger tried to join me, on one occasion!
 
I've filled my tummy with porriage as I'm so hungry and now I'm regreting it. Argh!!!
 
Can you change hospitals, or not practical?
 
It's interesting that you chose to ignore an invitation to discuss the issue in private and chose instead to raise it on this open thread. Perhaps you felt that a private conversation would not best serve your own agenda...
Well, as I'm sure you are aware, the thread has now been reinstated. But please don't assume that you have been instrumental in that; I simply felt that there were other, far more deserving causes.
 
The App is driving me NUTS!! I've posted several items on the forum bugs thread & tagged @admin, but never get a reply or acknowledgement. For goodness sake, surely it's not outside the bounds of possibility to sort it out? App is slow, takes forever to post, not getting notifications, started to get wait xx seconds to reply. Tried removing & reinstalling no improvement. Maybe I should try posting a load of unacceptable phrases to catch someone's attention?
 

Chris, if you are using the @admin tag, I doubt you will hear anything. Our current Admin is @Administrator .
 
I've been looking for a cry thread so scream thread will have to do.
Not seeing cardiologist til 7th april. Calcium in my left anterior descending artery (widow maker) is what's causing my problems so my update letter has informed me. My cardiologist appointment states I can bring a relative or friend to the appointment. Oh sh*t this is serious!
On-line it states if I do have a heart attack from that being fully blocked its fatal. If I survive its imperative I get to a&e within 5-20mins or brain will die.
Stents don't stop a heart attack. They relieve heart disease symptoms, for some.
I think I'm in trouble!
 
It sounds as if you need a telephone consultation with your cardiologist urgently to put your mind at rest, hun - stressing over this for the next month is not going to do you any good at all. Call his secretary and do/say whatever you have to, to get to speak to him. Sending big hugs xxx
 
Thank you. I didn't know they can do that? I'll try.
 

Can you contact hospital & tell them you'd take a cancellation at short notice?
 

Agree!
