Back ice of course I did but I was still a role you know going to bounce at my age early and that kind of thing so that came back like a thing this is the usual thing that you do what's that for get on saturday ice packs perfectly fine I'd say perfectly fine it hurt like really when just like a grade it just came out and went away anyway I've been a bit achy obviously because when you're my age you over you shake everything you don't like and then this afternoon I've been very busy doing things sat down in the chair once he went to go across the room and all I have I can recall is a sensation of walking doing a couple of steps and my leg my right leg feeling like jelly and it just felt completely numb unlike anything I've ever had before it wasn't I suppose the nearest I would describe it like when you get dead legged but you get that in part of your leg this seemed to be all the way down my leg and I kind of called out because I went to put weight on it again and then over I went they did my ankle and I was naughty so my ankle like shit I thought I'd broken it mhmm couldn't get up off the floor for ages and what it's I think yes because when I put my foot down it still hurts still hurts yeah yeah but will your colleague tested my thing and my leg still feels odd and I said to him I know that's not a technical term it just feels not right anyway he just said we ought to get to the bottom of why because that's happened before I'm not somebody who trips over and falls over a lot thank god that's you would and I have a lot of hoth I take note for meds so he said oh well you know there might be just another reason why but I didn't feel anything odd myself good it was just that's all I can say is my leg was just like it's very it was just jelly jelly and did it feel tingling yes fine so you when you were sat down lost the sensation in your leg and then when you stood up you realized that you'd lost a bit of strength in leg notice when I was sat down that I'd lost sensation it wasn't like that you know when sometimes you sit too long and get a nerve or say no it wasn't like that I felt perfectly normal for me and just stood up and I was so surprised but my leg wasn't there there was nothing to trip over all perfect carpet there I didn't anything the leg just literally it didn't even disappear like tripping I just went to put weight on it like when you go to walk and it just wasn't there that's the best I can do okay and any arm weakness at the same time no no no I I mean I'd have looked out if I thought it was something no none of the things that you know when you've got what I've got you you told to look out for such things mhmm it didn't feel like that oh I don't know what that feels like but no it was just the oddest sensation and I called out to murray because he's gone and I just couldn't believe it I I I can remember thinking I've got no leg yeah fine and how have you been feeling yourself over the last sort of few days yeah I've got goodness got the bug thing about it a week ago before it mhmm I'm not we'll ask it now I'm I'm not the greatest walker in front of all things okay I have to you know I I make myself walk mhmm but I get still breathless and so forth quite a lot of minutes but I'm not yeah the only other thing I did say to them was in this summer in july I believe it was I had a it wasn't an excruciating pain nothing like that at all but I'd had a different pain in my left leg and I was walking along the front and it was really sort of you know and a day or 2 after and I can't be more explicit than that I swelled my legs swelled my abdomen swelled and I thought hello that's not good when you've got what I've got so I actually toodled along to the doctor and they sent me to have a scan of my tummy but also to see the vascular surgeon hello alright it was just really easy as she's gone I'm just gonna let her do oh you're gonna get some blood that's fine I was gonna answer a phone call anyway so why don't we swap is that okay well thank you I'm not sure I'm not sure how's that going back it's alright good where are we yeah were you I just sang in july mhmm had this pain walking along which was kind of swelled went to the gp mhmm it does get a hang thing on my stomach and mhmm also sent me for vascular okay injections and what does mister think mister mccarthy is actually you've got his left 1 right he because the reason she spoke to me was that the left 1 I saw couldn't get in the house in fact she thought the left lead was thready and there was none on the right or something anyway it wasn't that dramatic when I got to see him he said it's the 1 on the left here that has got on okay my left and he asked me for a scan thing to just that he assumed I'd had an occlusion of the nodule mhmm and he sent me for a scan which I don't think was 100% but he said I don't think it's anything else and at the time he said to me my vascular health in my right leg was good the rest of my left leg apart from the inside 1 was okay but he wasn't going to do anything about what he thought now in the interim I see doctor gribbon here but not here I see him privately because he doesn't follow me up I get nothing don't go to a door at mayo I'm not bitter so I go to see doctor graham privately said unfortunately his last couple of things won't be on but basically he told me I'd gone into states of heart failure he was a little concerned about the potential it could be and he then added to my lovely mix of meds spironolactone yes tone something he said that because I was already on furosemide to take down the swellings and in fact it's only and then unfortunately my blood pressure which has been for years phenomenally high overnight and it's not been able to be sorted during the tic and it's dropped like a stone oh wow okay desferin lactate so it was great from that. Of view and apart from the fact that I was feeling very faint in the mornings mhmm so he recently has just asked me to put it in half okay the 12.5 so it's yeah it was 10 I think about 5 0 10 to 5 okay fine and fine so I think at the time you had a a possibility of an of an occlusion of 1 of the vessels in the leg does but does it feel similar to that no you see that's what I said that leg now feels odd sometimes down the bottom that's all I will say it just feels slightly different I don't really notice but this 1 today didn't feel well because that 1 didn't feel it right they don't feel the same sorry I'll stop reiterating no no no they don't feel it feels different yes fine this feels like it's gone to jelly mhmm okay so that it's you know I feel as if I sort of put it down and I'd go mhmm mhmm and that's all I can say yeah fine and will's concerned that he might have had a stroke as opposed to this weakness in the leg it's a possibility it doesn't really fit with the classic pattern of stroke no usually if you had a vessel in your brain that was inflated you'd have multiple neurological problems on 1 side of the body you'd have arm involvement and leg involvement for example you'd have a slightly different pattern of leg involvement anything's possible and it would explain why your legs were weak we don't have an excellent test for it really the best test is examining you and seeing what you think and then a reasonable test is scanning your head but if you have had a stroke you won't show anything what's interesting if you've had an acute stroke it'll be normal okay so we'd need to think about it you alright so blood thinners take I'll fix the band is that where you're supposed to go yes so the I think we'll find a scan yet because I think it's entirely sensible just to see what's in there and whether there's anything that might be causing evidence basically of his said to him because I'm not someone that falls over and I've even always managed when pressure drops like a stone and it goes really down I get a faint feeling in my head but then I sit down I don't fall because today it was just like I had no idea when went to me walking across that room yeah fine fair enough and I think it's worth us scanning your leg as well just to see if there's if the vessels in your leg are okay right does that sound alright yeah so to have your ct head scan I just need to do this scoring system so your level of consciousness is alert can you tell me what month it is yes it's sorry that's okay oh god full of the first 8 of the kids no it's something like january 6 is it the sixth january no it's fine new grad and how old are you how old am I I'm 77 lovely that's a word for it dear can you open and close your fist like that yes that's lovely can you blink your eyes thank you yes can you just follow my finger that's lovely any any parts of your vision missing any black spots in your vision or anything like that I have bilateral glaucoma so I have a part of my vision up here that's a little bit white okay perfect you had a tracheotomy yeah it's more of that little bit as the flow because I was actually my father's pregnant so much they couldn't be intubated young enough to give me trachelectomy so that leaves me a little bit older but no I'm fine good you see I don't have what I would assume would be as a layperson it's just that I said to her well I would like to know and I thought you used it yeah because it's a very strange it was a very strange sensation no it does sound yeah and it still sounds like you've got the strength of sensation can you give me a bit of a hug yeah yeah that's great ken so then I just need to chest test your if that's alright yeah so you're able to lift your arms in front of me like this and just hold them up 1 2 10 that's lovely and then the same with your legs we don't have to do them at the same time can you lift 1 at all 1 yeah can you 3 3 3 3 3 and the right 1 is good for the left 1 let's see 1 1 e 2 no it's not yeah but I do in trihors I wish to try and do exercises that and then just need to test the movement of your hand so if you want to touch your nose can you touch my finger and your nose finger your nose that's fine so you're going to lift your heel up lift your knee and just swipe it down your chin a bit worried about the other side thank you and could you do the same thing so then sensation is where we might fall down because we've got 4 marks so far yeah feeling touching your ear yes I can feel the same on both sides I think it's similar mhmm how about here similar mhmm sorry no scratching I think it's because it's sore it's letting me go is that better think it's the same the same so possibly I'll give you 1 for that shall we then ask you to tell me what the anxiety is up can you tell me what this is keep can you tell me what this is this this bella and then can you tell me which 1 of my hands is either the left 1 sorry mhmm that's fine was your right 1 no my left 1 your right 1 yep no it's okay okay I can go ahead well we should scan your head shouldn't we and make sure it's I I I must say I don't think it's very likely to actually go back to work because I think your back to your problem seems a lot more likely because it doesn't really fit in this problem but I think regardless of what you've had you can't really walk can you thank you do you mind signing them to you they're not tented they because you need gluconate do a survey can I of those too oh yeah of course you as I say I don't think think I something vascular is a lot more likely given you've had a couple of episodes of being weak before your neighbor and all this kind of stuff which is a lot more likely but scanning your head is reasonable you can't really walk very well on it do you want to go home if you can't walk very well on it how do you get out of here oh my house might come back right and I take that in a wheelchair and then shuffle your backpack yeah I mean we got out of the house like that mhmm I can get to that? If I can get insurance health yeah I don't know know I I just wonder whether staying in hospital it's midnight already half past midnight already staying in hospital having your ct head scan having those the further tests with a scan of your leg and seeing a stroke specialist in the morning on the ward and seeing what they think and they might say no it's posh not rough it's not a stroke it's better examination exactly I think it's the best way as I say we don't have a good test and the best test is seeing way I am and what part of it I like to accept of course of course and make right choices for my life so yeah I think that's the right thing to do if it were me that's what I'm doing sure you live with your husband yeah in a house yeah I live with him love it what did you do for a living mhmm what did did you do for a living I don't know don't know ibm what did you do in ibm gosh I was like yes we do do it mhmm but project office manager has big projects mainly okay work with both we're having big jobs now too fine do you drink or smoke never smoke I used to drink mhmm but since I've been in pain a fib it stopped it yeah yeah I've lasted 1 mom's days it's christmas maybe it's not worth it because I just race mhmm it's silly of course are you allergic to anything some oh you're starting your drug chart statins nitrofurantoin and penicillin thank you those things and you it sounds like you're quite fit and active I try to be yeah I I think that sounds like I'd like to be because any of us are on the seafront is about as far as I can go but I'm all linked to make sure that I travel and what stops you walking in the seafront it's just my legs start to hurt yep mhmm and I can't and it feels as if I'm just ragging my body around I with the pills I'm on I'm not so breathless I think that's breathless it just feels as though once I've gone long time the whole effort thing is just too much after how long walking will that happen so nothing like I used to be able to I'd probably walk along pain in front from 1 end to the other and by the time I got to the other end it's that feeling that's not fair along the hole of pain in front quarter of a mile yeah okay I'll come back I'm not good going up hills fine very I'd hardly ever see how you're going through and you take a pixaban do you take anything else no can look it up on the computer if it's a big list well don't forget that I have to do this for you of course I'm afraid I have to see be on your gp record though shortly yeah look at some of the things it's the nitrate and all to open my blood vessels that's a 2 leg mhmm apixaban 10 leg twice a day that's what I've missed in my these gone to my you shouldn't take any of the pain this can okay that's good bisoprolol 2.5 big digoxin mhmm 1.25 which is here furosemide 49 5 mic micrograms yes 1 2 5 1 2 5 furosemide and what's not on here is I now take thyro no daclotide pyrolylactone 25 you said you halved it I halved it to 12.5 I think that I'll know when my meds come in handy that's fine ramipril 10 mg and then benzoic acid 180 mg because I I I don't know what I and we have done it so have done yes alright thank you 1 cortisol with with any drugs great so I will make sure your ct head's sorted we've had some blood tests yeah which are about standard panel and stroke blood tests we should have a tracing of your heart if you don't mind yep while you're doing this and then we will see the result on your scan I'm gonna let you know when I've got it right and then we'll ask you to go up to the stroke ward okay is that alright yeah that's fine cool and you can see a specialist in the morning as I say I didn't think it is I'm not sure well it it would be it would be nice to even be but I can't a query I'll bring you the scan if you're right now is the scan of my head or chest pain today the head will happen tonight the leg there's no specialist ultrasonography in at 01:00 in the morning I'll send that to that if you're like a good yeah either we'll bring you down from the ward to have it tomorrow or we bring you back to the office okay okay sound good yeah there you go thank you very much thank you for taking my drink okay I'm glad you're there thank you
