Virtual ward care and me

Sorry not been around

A Little Note From Me

Dear friends,

I wanted to let you know why I’ve gone a little quiet. Last week, I had a frightening health scare — a panic attack on the phone with my brother turned into something more, and I ended up in hospital overnight. They found that my heartbeat was out of rhythm, and while most tests came back fine, there was a concern that needed follow-up. I’m now on medication and home on a virtual ward, being monitored closely.

The truth is, I’m scared. I’ve had more panic attacks since coming home, and it’s been hard to stay calm when everything feels so uncertain. But I’m trying, moment by moment.

I’m writing this because I didn’t want to just vanish. I value every person who’s supported me on Vocal, and I truly hope you’ll stay with me while I take a little time to breathe, heal, and find my rhythm again — in more ways than one.

Thank you for reading. Please don’t dump me. I’ll be back soon.

Love,

Marie381Uk

    Never, you just focus on getting better. I have just spent the last 6 weeks supporting my ex-wife. She had two cardiac events and spent ten days in cardiac intensive care. I know how confronting it is. Stay strong, you will get through this and be back writing those wonderful poems before you know it.

  • Hi Marie! I am so sorry to hear about this health scare. Hopefully the medications will do what they are meant to do. In the meantime take it easy. Take care of yourself… maybe drink some chamomile tea with a bit of Ceylon cinnamon sprinkled in… that is very relaxing. Best wishes to you!

    I missed you Marie. I wish you to heal from this health scare. After taht you reduce your chemicals usage, for they are no good for your or any human's hormones.
