    Type 2 What's the current soundtrack to you life ?

    Love Miles Davis but Leonard Cohen has been the backdrop to my life ever since I saw him at the Isle of Wight about 50 years ago. His voice just got better and better as he aged.

    Ankle/leg swelling

    Holiday to USA

    Hi there, I travel backwards and forwards to Florida twice a year and use a Frio bag for my meds on the flight. This keeps all the injections at around fridge temperature. The Frio does have to "breathe" to work though and so it needs to be open to the air and not carried in a plastic bag...
