    Yes the doctor called me back but basically all he indecateted was to stay out of the sun but as i tried to explain it isn’t the sun raise but the heat it’s self.

    It’s a bit of a shame, I’m sat here in the dark and like you say with a fan and unable to enjoy this gorgeous weather we’re having. I’ll call my GP tomorrow and see what he has to say, not hoping for too much from him he’s good at giving out pills but anything beyond that there useless.

    Hi everyone, well i saw the doctor this morning to try and sort out  my medication and dealing with this heat but blow me the reason I’ve been feeling so ill and having some funny occurrences is that I’ve had a miner stroke. I never thought anything of it but a few weeks ago one side of my lip went numb and I’ve been having problems with my left eye. I’ve just returned from the hospital where the doctor sent me and just about to tuck into my macaroni cheese feeling a little bewildered, it’s not really sunk in yet because i never thought anything else could go wrong with my body but there you go it has. More medication to take and more heat to deal with so I’ve just come round in one big circle ⭕️. Life’s a bit of a pig sometimes.
