Oh, you’ve got to attend if you can. Such a talented group of people… the voices, the music…
A Derby Theatre and Northern Stage production.
Daughter and I attended at #NorthernStage in #NewcastleUponTyne on Tuesday evening. Fantastic!

Well, if I was struggling to accept I’d had a #TIA , things feel even stranger now. (I’m not good at brevity but there were parts of the story I’d omitted. Anyhoo…) On discharge I was told to 999 if I had another ‘bout’. Went to the hospital again this morning, diagnosis has now changed to a probable trapped nerve.
Relieved (very!) but struggling to get my head round this… Doesn’t help I only had 3 hours sleep last night. Feel very odd…

It was horribly uncomfortable being sat in a hard chair for over 9 hours, not knowing when I’d be seen. A bit worrying that two doctors in the department were convinced it was a trapped nerve rather than a #TIA
However I kept reminding myself that I was lucky not to be in America, facing bills for blood tests, the scan and ultrasound plus the rest.
Woke feeling scared but had a word with myself and all right now tho’ comforting my daughter is proving difficult. 🤗🌻

Had over 9 uncomfortable hours in the Emergency Department overnight. Taken to the stroke ward this morning for further tests. Have now been discharged. It might sound ridiculous but I’m struggling to accept the #TIA diagnosis.
ED doctors I saw gave me the impression it was a trapped nerve and I’d be discharged early morning. Apart from that and the incredibly uncomfortable seats in the ED the staff were absolutely incredible. Patient, kind and caring. Empathetic. SO very grateful. #NHS

You have your opinion, I have mine.
By your calculation, #NorthShields #Tynemouth #Cullercoats and #WhitleyBay should all be classified as #Newcastle too.
I suppose by your logic you’re from Sunderland.

"Successive UK govts have expected the City of London to revive the economy. This faith is misplaced."
"In 2024, £25.3bn new shares issued on the London Stock Exchange
£92.1bn paid in dividends
£57.1bn paid in share buybacks.""Companies sweat assets, leads to low productivity."
"Yet no govt reforms."

Enjoyed #RoyalNorthernSinfonia at #StGeorges in Cullercoats tonight.
The church is lovely too, but oh, why didn't I sit on a kneeler? The duration of a concert sitting in a pew was a test of endurance.

I was going to provide links to relevant research, but I think this cartoon says it all.
