My next 8 years will be a blast, after that age will take it's toll.
I have just read about your desire to punish one of Scargill's men, for something they did over 30 years ago. Surely thoughts of wanting revenge, even though what they did was awful, is not helping you to have positive thoughts on your current health problems?
I hate hospitals and try to avoid them at all costs.

Yes, I think you're right Tabs.
I know when my husband and I took over the in-laws farm, we inherited a terrible rat problem there. Blasted things were everywhere.
One of them bit one of my German Shepherds once. My big gentle dog was howling hysterically, because a damned rat was hanging off thye side of his nose and wouldn't let go!
I had to get him to the vets quick because his poor nose was pouring blood! I hate the things.
Before I started breeding all my birds, I had to have a good clear out, and got a bait contractor in.
It was him that told me that the Vit.K in the hen food antidotes the rat bait.

Spot on Mups.
Rats mate immediately after giving birth, Warfarin made them bleed to death after a trauma like giving birth.
High levels of Vitamin K in their diet prevents this from happening.

We can accept that as we get older we are able to do less.
I want to keep going until I am 75, after that I will accept that I will have to slow down.
There is no way at all that I am going into a Care Home, it is not the quality of life that I want.
Just my choice and my decision.
If I cannot travel and cannot fish that is no life for me.
I am not going to end my life dribbling and having my bum wiped.

Re: My Week.
HiNow we are back on track, an update.
One of my appointments next week has been cancelled, they did the tests today.
I have an impaired renal function, a side effect of one of the medications that I am on.
It is not disastrous, it can be reversed and it accounts for why I am so tired at the moment, I am not getting rid of the toxins.
I cannot immediately stop the medication, it has to be done slowly over the next two weeks.
My blood pressure has dropped significantly, even after halving the medication.
All in all, not too bad.
