Good luck with the sponsored walk, what's it in aid of?a very good friend of mine died in may, and she had emphysema. and she used to go to a breath easy club here in essex. they where a great support to her, so us and a pile of others want to raise money for the group. so they can have a nice day out plus hopefully a meal on us. all in shanees name :)
she knew loads of ppl from all differnt walks of life. made a big difference to their lives, and we want to carry on doing the same :D also gives us some thing to do other than sit around and mope.

Hope all goes well with your hospital appointments, BM. All best wishes for your sponsored walk later in the year - if you post details here on Catsey (like Elaine did) I bet you'll get some sponsorship from members!

well had my first appoinment this afternoon. had scans on my legs.
had blood pressure taken on both arms. then they scanned my feet to find the pulse. and then put the BP cuff on my leg and inflated it :shock: that hurt. cause it cramped the calf. them she did the same to the other leg. so now both calfs ache now :? the vascular surgeon will look at the results and see whats what.
oh well 1 down. 1 or possibly 2 to go.

That's great news BM!!! I'm pleased that after all you've been through the doc's discharged you :D

The cramping legs sounds horrible. I had it a lot with both pregnancies and it's agony. I hope they're able to find a solution to that quickly.
