C's kidneys are leaking protein, so the surgery got a blood test made and her cell count is low. She goes back on Dec 23 for another one. She is always concerned her back problems are kidney related and she does also have arthritis, but it looks like this time is was not a delusion as I thought it was. She has had tow heart palpitations last week and the ECG showed up a left ventrical fault which could be the reason and BHF said it could be causing her breathlessness. We'll find out more when she goes for the echo scan.
British Heart Foundation helpline nurse was very good at explaining everything, so would recommend to anyone who needs their advice.
Not looking for advice or anything, just getting thoughts together as we could be in for another rough winter and even though the counsellor said I should take one day at a time that is easier said than done. I'll try though, and we do have a few lunches and music days to come. If I can make sure C rests in between times we should still have a good month. There's a challenge, though I hear you all saying caring and dementia always involves a few challenges.
I'll wish everyone strength for your own Christmas worries and winter struggles.
