Bill Withers album " just as I am " was released 50yrs ago today

 

This track is 26 yrs old , jewel constantly up dates the presentation

 

Paul Weller on the Jonathan Ross show last night with his daughter Leah on backing vocals - she fortunately gets her looks from her mum!

 

I saw it and at first glance I thought that Tony Blair had started gigging again

 

For Mrs B, who had a TIA yesterday morning. I am immensely grateful to all at St Helier Hospital.

Fortunately, no permanent damage done but.....it had my bottle going when she started to say random words in the middle of sentences. If in doubt, get to hospital...FAST

 

Hope things turn out ok mate, thoughts are with you Brian

 

I hope she is soon feeling better Brian, and well done for spotting the signs and doing your bit to get her to hospital quickly

 

My younger brother had a stroke in October. He's told me all abut the headache leading up to it and having difficulty in ordering his speech. As soon as Mrs B said "toenail" in the middle of a sentence where it had no right to be, we were in the car and on the way to hospital. She was about to go on duty and was dead set on doing just that....

A&E was packed but the triage took about 20 seconds. I said I was worried that she was having a stroke or aneurysm and why. They didn't even take her name or address. In a flash we were talking to a doctor and they were running tests.- heart, blood pressure, blood, brain scan. It was all so fast.

Thank **** that there's still an NHS of sorts and all the people (of any and all origins) who work there..

 

Glad to hear things are so much better now than they used to be particularly with so many staff having now been properly trained plus dedicated stroke units set up in lots of hospitals.
All the best to your wife Brian and give yourself a pat on the back .

 

Amen to that , I've done my occupational first aid training for work and spotted that a colleague was having a stroke , such a simple thing to learn but so glad that I did

 

It doesn't require years of training to become competent in spotting (and sometimes dealing with) major medical emergencies. It really should form part of the school curriculum. **** knows, so much of what is still taught, is totally bloody useless.

As Fletch asked, does anyone really need to know what an isthmus is?

 

Thanks for all your support, guys. You are very special people and I really appreciate you.

Mrs B is very tired but we're all immensely relieved that there will be no permanent effects. Mrs B's just turned 52, never smoked, drinks sensibly (including caffeine in coffee), eats a very good diet, carries no weight and is the same dress size that she was 33 years ago, takes regular exercise, has good cholesterol, heart rates, blood pressure, etc. and has no health issues at all. She's the very last person one would expect this to happen to...except....

It confirms how important it is to deal with the stress in your life. Both her mother and father have had cancer diagnoses in the last couple of weeks and with huge regret, I'm having to evict my youngest brother from my mother's former home, so that we can continue to fund her care at £75,000 per annum. Chuck in working 13 days straight (including some nights) in an extremely high pressure environment.....et voilà!

As we get older, we need to take care of ourselves.

Her favourite song...
