A Minor Bend In The River

Hi all. This is River's daughter posting on her behalf. She won't be putting up her story tomorrow, as she is currently in the hospital having some tests.
I won't go into detail, as I'd hate to accidentally overstep on how much personal stuff gets shared, but she did ask me to let you all know that she's briefly out of commission.

Hopefully she'll be out and posting again soon. We'll keep you updated.

    First, thank you Kalamac. I'm home again now, 8.15pm, walked in a half hour ago after several hours of testing and being examined inside and out. There seems to be nothing wrong, which is a relief, but I had a scare here at home and didn't want to take any chances. I now have a letter to take to my regular doctor, who will no doubt follow up with his own blood tests etc. I just hope this incident never happens again.
    I'll work on my story tomorrow and post it on Saturday.
    Angel is a bit upset, I'll give him lots of cuddles when he comes to me.

    Snoskred; I'm home and okay, with apparently nothing wrong. Angel hasn't forgiven me yet, I disappeared at 1.30 and he was alone as the house darkened after sunset.

    Elephant's Child; I emailed you, but I'm home and fine although it will take a while for the worry to disappear from my mind.

    I'm so glad you had a daughter with access to your blog. And Angel has every right to be upset with you going all "doctor I've fallen and can't get up" drama. Any visit to a hospital is like playing Russian Roulette. So glad you survived it.

    What a lovely person your daughter is to speak on your behalf. And so good to know that you made it home in one piece after your scare. Hope you get to the bottom of whatever it was and can go on through life without having to worry. Be well, be safe and by all means do follow up with your doctore.

    Oh...my heart leapt into my mouth when I read this post, River...and then I saw your responses. I'm so glad all appears to be well with you. Take it easy and don't give us, Angel and yourself a scare like that again...do you hear me??

    A hug to both you and Angel from me.

    Delores; I was pretty scared myself, normally I don't go rushing off to hospital, but this was an unusual thing and I hadn't had any warnings. No pains, no fevers, nothing.

    Jaquelineand; I don't want a repeat episode either. And the doctors couldn't find any reason for it, even with all the tests.

    joeh; but I haven't had any yet. This is most unfair. You're probably right though, I need to lose thirty pounds and cheesecake won't help.

    Andrew; no grand-standing here, just plain scared. this is something that shouldn't happen. Not to anyone.

    lotta joy; our hospitals here are pretty good, the hardest part was sitting in the waiting room waiting my turn. after that, faced with something unusual, they test for everything and I never once was made to feel I was wasting their time.

    fishducky; I hope it never happens again too.

    Molly; I'm fine, really, just wondering why this happened.

    Plasman; everything appears to be completely normal.

    Andrea; I'm definitely following up with my doctor, if only for my own peace of mind. And of course so that he is kept in the loop in case it happens again.

    Lee; sorry to scare you. Have to admit was scared myself though, and not much scares me. Angel has forgiven me for leaving him alone in the dark.

    Happy Christine; she's a good daughter. While I was in the hospital I was in touch with both daughters. They need to know what's going on, I'm the only mum they've got.

    mohave rat; thanks for your concern. I'll take care of myself just like I always do. I wasn't unwell at all, didn't fall and hit my head or anything like that, no pain, no fever.

    Merle; I'm in tip top condition, and was yesterday too, except for that one episode. I'm perfectly fine.

    Kelley; I was glad to get home and get something to eat after all that testing and waiting. I hope it was a one-off too. Angel has forgiven me. He's wrapped around the keyboard here again.

    Missed this post as computer (or something) playing up. Would like to thank your daughter for taking the time to let your blogging friends know that you were out of commission. Will now read the next post (your own).

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
