Actually as mr philips said - this is not a drill, it wasnt practice its standard. We a few firetrucks here but overnight only 1 team, and in neigbouring villages they often have a single fireruck which is only manned by demand. I think in a radius of 50 miles here, using the air rain siren out of hours for the off duty and part time firemand to call in is really the only way to ensure the wake up - its loud even the windows vibrate !!!

well that was a good day long but tiring , heart function increased another 3 percent and made plans to move it on more , plan 1 is to half the beta blocker and see how the bp and pulse goes , tomorrow is by gp with results of the general tests last week including the blood test results but today was a win ! Next appointment for tests for cardio in a year but another visit might be needed pending the results of beta blocker reduction so all is good goodnight Lois hope your week starts out positive x

Thankyou, so many get missed 🤗

Please stay in my garden for the next one 🤗

ah i should have said if i had been under 55 they would pay for root canal , but they think no point for older people we will just walk aound toothless !

Good morning Lois

ahh yes the insurance approval is needed here to and it can turn into a dog fight ! For instance i need a blood thinner, and the heath insurance orders my doctor 35% of the patients and expensive ones, and 65% cheap ones, i only found it becuase she changed it last month, but then my cardio doctor intervened and wrote and said no - go back to the original ones (eliquis), she said no problem no argument but she had hit the limit, so now i got my eliquis back and she will try and change somebody else medication to conform to the rules These rules are dependant on the your type of insurance i pay what they call the legal insurance that attracts that rule, if i paid private insurance, then there would be no problem.

Another oddity, i needed a root canal treatment two years ago, dentist said becuase you only pay legal insturance , the health insurance wont pay for that, that will only pay to have the tooth out , if you go with root canal they will finance it using what it would cost for the extraction and i pay the rest which i did !
