AGAIN I express my concern for home users of CPAP Continuous Positive Air Pressure in subzero weather.. Those Patients that just fall out of the NARROW criteria set by the present Chancellor for Winter Fuel Allowance need help too! Room temperature needs to be warm as ambient air is pressured into airway ..so 🚨IF COLD risk of core temp dangerous drop in sleep to lead to HYPOTHERMIA.🚨  Polices need risk assessment and impact analysis before initiated!!!!!! 🚨Pre Christmas email sent to Dept of Health & Social Care as per Wes Streeting PA instructions please ACTION  note also Energy companies need social tariff for vulnerable!!

Caring Hearts

My New Years Eve began with quite an interesting experience.  So grateful to the clinical staff at Harefield hospital... I had my Exercise Echocardiogram to assess my heart wellbeing as I get breathless on exertion and sometimes chest tightening.   Its all part of my sleep apnoeas condition.. So my New Years eve party was sitting cycling in a frontless gown... with no sequins... lol... and disco lights from the flashing red and green lights of the meter readings on my target cycle exertion ... while IV contrast medium and drugs given ... This was some party ... lol ... with two lovely clinicians monitoring heart ECG and scanning my coronary arteries... Heart with a Crown ... Coronary name as they form a crown around the heart muscle... 

My two Earth Angels were one from Turkey and another Filipino... we all clicked  together in love & care as I have connections to both lands ...and as a retired nurse and midwife we had lots of clinical links .. hospital to me feels like going home so many years in practice with long duty spans ... But something very special about Harefield . Lovely atmosphere literally heartfelt sense of caring and understanding vulnerability...with empathy & compassion able to strengthen that vulnerability..from  receptionist to  consultants that care... Such experts in their field with clinical skills .. So was in good hands ... I was a bit ...not dizzy... but muzzy headed after the procedure so was observed for a while till my observations were normalised .. Fluids given and some energy food.  I felt better to return home ... 

At home had some sleep with my CPAP then later watched the New Year in ... 

Lets hope for Peace & Healing Health for the New Year for us all and our planet home

I am sharing some photos of the Christmas tree and trinkets that were in the Echocardiogram reception area ... love how someone made little dolls of the staff out of thanks for all their care.

Prayers for Peace 2025 🙏🤲🕊

Thinking and Praying constantly for Peace in Gaza. My MSF nurse needs time out with his wife and young daughter. He is exhausted and in great pain mourning his sister lost just before Christmas... He has been giving care 24/7 for over a year and trying to protect his family.. He has seen unimaginable horrors to his fellow Palestinians. We need him out to heal replenish his energy and to give care to injured children that have been evacuated to safe countries. His clinical skills and experience valuable to teams of surgeons and their patients.  His wife a qualified mathematics teacher will be useful to help injured children with their education while healing.. and his baby daughter Zainah can grow in a safe environment. Who knows may follow her father to be a nurse in the future. But she needs a future..as indeed all Palestinian children. A future with respect & care for all in Shalom Salem Peace Om Shanti

Ombudsman Role Nullified?!

We 1950s born women have been declared by the present UK government not to be paid the compensation that the Parliamentary Ombudsmen had requested. There is considered insufficient funds in the treasury to pay us for our lost 6 years State Pension... Yet we have done much to help rebuild the nation and birthed our generations all paying in tax and NI contributions. There are many tax streams in to the treasury and has I have highlighted in parliament that when we are paid our due funds it is not lost to the treasury... it returns in tax on goods and services we purchase and in that process funds businesses who in turn pay in tax contributions. So like the red blood cells circulating in our body to deliver oxygen to all our cells ... then ££££s financial oxygenate families and businesses and continuously return back and through the treasury.. What happens to unclaimed pensions from those that have died before retirement, what happens to unclaimed hereditary assets if no clear immediate relative. 

I am no longer on twitter but I did have an #showusthespreadsheet which on discussion with others we feel we do need to see where are our money goes both in central and local governments.

The week before Christmas I travelled to Parliament wearing my Suffragette sash with WASPI badge and got salutes from bus drivers and commuters... I had however to ironically hand over my sash to the Parliamentary security as per protocol of no demonstration material to be in parliament! My sash was carefully folded in a draw and a receipt given to collect on the way out... I had gone to lobby my MP on issues.  My suffragette sash is of colours that the suffragettes used in the campaign for votes for women. Votes for Women and for Women to be permitted to stand as MPs ....so very sad that we have women in Chancellor and others in ministerial roles that have decided against the compensation for women born in the 1950s... I was born in 1954 a much wanted and loved baby girl that is now 70 years old and soon to be 71 years - I never in all my life imagined that I and other women in their older years would be targeted to deprive us of 6 years state pension and not be given at least the compensation decreed by the Ombudsman!
