Britain's ever eroding democracy. The Government are getting far too draconian.

Let's see, where do I start. I used my injured thumb to break my fall last Monday and twisted a muscle in my chest when I screamed holy motherF______. Oh I should mention I hurt on Aug 30th squishing it between two heavy steel doors, eight stitches. Wednesday I went to physio and she told me to go to a walk in clinic for my chest got x-rays and meds for my chest. Wednesday night the shit hit the fan. I phoned for an ambulance, off to the hospital and it turned out I now had pneumonia. And my blood sugars were totally off. The first time the machine couldn't read it, too high. Second time 33.3 A little off. Got it down to normal enough and they sent me home. No beds
Not sure. I'll get more answers on the 19th.
Me too. Hopefully it stays that way lolNothing at all.
The news I got at my specialist appointment.
I think my current health situation is a little more serious that I'm emotionally able to process.
Basically learned that it's highly likely I had a GI bleed at some point and the endo could quite possibly be invading other organs than the ones I already know of (appendix, sigmoid colon). Getting an MRI done to make certain. If it has invaded my bowels a bit deeper than superficially, then I may need a sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy and possibly a bowel resection. A urologist may need to get involved as well if it's infiltrated my bladder (pooping and peeing hurts a lot all the time, usually constipated).
I know these are all a lot of 'what if's' but it's hard not to wonder just how much this is spreading. Thinking about just going with a full hysterectomy when surgery can be scheduled and going on HRT.

I'm worried about my next x-rays on my back. I'm really hoping it's healing. I can walk for about 10 minutes now before I feel pain. Life is very stagnant. No twisting, bending or lifting until the doctor gives me the okay. The pain is mentally challenging. Next x-rays on the 24th so hopefully good news. And hopefully she can give me ideas or a prescription for pain relief that doesn't affect my blood pressure. I've stopped the perception because it was quite literally going to give me a stroke or heart issues. I'm just using aspirin but that's a blood thinner so I'm trying to keep it down to only when it absolutely has me going around the bend. So twice a day... not good. Anyway...so yeah. It sucks right now.
