No storm here

Really hot in fact.

UAE is lovely this time of year, but Dubai was ****. Spent the majority of time in
Fujairah.

Dubai is just a big western city, which has an awkward policy of pretending to be muslim over anal little things.

Which the rest of the UAE doesn't do. Weird country.

Off to the hospital later.

Mam went to see the docs yesterday and cause shes had a bit of a nasty cough for a week and feeling light headed. Docs were worried as her oxygen levels was fluctuating and it dropped to like 60 at one point.

Shes been in A&E for most of the night with oxygen help and her o2 levels drop to 80 when she goes to the pisser.

Scans show shes okay although the CT scan there might be a clot in one of her blood vesels in their lungs but the scan wasn't very clear.

They went a bit funny and are doing a lot of respiratory virus scans when they were told she returned from HK a few weeks back

Cheers guys,

Shes fuming they are going to be keeping her in another night but the oxygen levels aren't right without unaided oxygen but shes still all there and sharp. They are still diagnosing.

Just a shoutout to NHS, they've been really good. Even where we are, 2 of the nearby hospitals were chocka with A&E and were turning ambulances away (6 hour waiting queue), went to one a little further out and she was since within 30 mins and given CT scans and Xrays within a few hours.

Pretty sad as well, a lot of old people with no people hanging around my sister was saying.

All the best Bob, I had a similar experience recently. Horrible.

Hope she makes a speedy recovery
 
@BobbyD killed the Christmas thread. Hope your mam is okay though. <hug>

Christmas is OVER.

but thanks for all the messages. They think she just had a virus, not much to worry about and she came out of the hospital this morning.

She really hates hospitals, shes scared of ghosts and the dark etc. The night before she stayed in the A&E part and slept a bit. Last night she was in her own room which is a luxury but she didn't sleep a wink.

Pleased to read your mum is ok Bobby. There is a nasty virus going around at the moment and it's worrying when the old folk get it.
 
All the Christmas **** gets taken down today. <diva>

Did that last week.

It's all over on NYD, **** having flashing lights and **** like around beyond that.

Done for another year, time to mothball the thread and move onto diets, dry this, dry that, and fire up the thread of fitness.

Edited, don't want that to be the first thing seen next year.
