All the best with the drip trip.Morning all from a dark LA - probably lighter if I draw the curtains but I like sitting with just Christmas tree lights. @gennepher I agree with @JohnEGreen. Today is Drip Trip day so up earlier to hydrate sufficiently but not too much as walking about while attached isn't my idea of fun. Somehow we have no babybels which I always take for DT days - nurses know me by that, tin of Heroes for them obviously. No more Crace links - we’re (UK) way past the time when even laughing hysterically works. Life has overtaken any absurdity writers could dream up yet is being packaged as normal. So similar to the more straight talking OT prophets:you can't say they or the Manic Street Preachers didn't warn you. Y'all navigate your way through this shower of slurry with as much dignity and love for others as is humanly possible just now. I have Spurs to watch this evening - thank you Amazon Prime. Phillipians 4:8- Spurs and that verse are in no way linked.
Winner for the art, humour and Tony Hancock (no relation) reference (but where are we going? Waterloo, I hopeGood afternoon everyone. A bit late for me - trip to see GP - prod, poke, prod, suck teeth. I think she used to be a vehicle mechanic. “Well it’s not broken”. - No s**t Sherlock. Blood samples taken - about half an arm. Naproxen and some other stuff. Art bit - what to do with a disaaaster daaarling - paint in a lad on a sledge. Hope your day is going well for you - too late now for koffy.

St Paul's Eye Unit I attend, is located within the New Royal Liverpool University Hospital, just off Prescott Street where it joins Kensington...6.2 this card buying, card sorting, Christmas decorations done Thursday. Just back in from town, I'm knackered already, Mrs L has sorted her Christmas ornaments on shelves and replaced her usual ornaments. So front room nearly finished, back room finished (ish). Front garden finished (lighting), back garden tidied due to no rain! (For a change) Back in the sixes, tut!
Raining, now, wind and harder downpours due. An unpleasant day, still cool, draughty, damp, no fun being out!
@gennepher, hope you sort out them eyes of yours, don't you let them make your mind up for you. If you ain't happy, say no!
Is your appointment at the eye hospital in Liverpool (St Paul's) near the museums, or the cataract hospital (St Catherine's) on the Wirral?
Cos usually, my counsellor is housed in St Catherine's, and my appointments are Thursday afternoon. But it was cancelled yesterday.
Hope, @lindisfel , you have finally dug yourself out of the snow? And you weren't impacted by the power cut?
Gotta lotta to do. Chores necessary and cos I went to town a ham shank to munch on later!
My best wishes to you all as always.
Thank you @dunelmI’m aligned with @JohnEGreen et al and pleased that you have got this firmly sorted in your head. All the very best with it.
It is not a disaster @dunelm !Good afternoon everyone. A bit late for me - trip to see GP - prod, poke, prod, suck teeth.

Just one thought of being tired after shopping, and of course the easy option!If you don't think you are old, you are not old! No reason not to take a seat designated for the elderly though.
My doctor has just phoned me (1810hrs) - bloods results in - come in at 0930 tomorrow for prize giving. I call that good service.Love the scenic view of Derek going shopping.
What was the outcome of your appointment, good? bad? ugly? indiffer? Carry on taking the pills?
Further exploration with a splurge woggle valve?
Ard luck with the koffy. You could have tea, anytime? Or a dram? Or something more satisfying? Maybe?
I gave you a hug but it’s a winner for perseverance and getting on with that second opinion. Specsavers in Barnard Castle seems to be worth a road trip.I am back.
Very long day.
Weather was the foulest of foul. Rain, wind, flying wheelies, and tree branches.
Different lady optician. Soecsavers was packed. It seems they are doing a lot of nhs work.
The slip of a girl who tried to take my eye pressure, failed to operated the 'gun'. Someone had to help her.
They still say cataracts in right eye, and it needs dealing with soon .
I asked for printed stuff to explain, got it, got booklets.
Said I was asking 2nd opinion off St Paul's.
I was there a long time asking questions.
I wasn't impressed.
She, lady optician, couldn't understand why I ticked all the boxes that I was having no problems with my eyes with glasses. And I am not. I do find my left eye that she says is perfect vision now, is clearer to see with recently, and I find that strange in itself.
Finally she said (like the other lady optician did) that my left eye had improved since my previous visit a year ago, and I now had perfect vision in it. She also said that it had improved to compensate for my right eye. She also said I didn't need glasses for my left eye. How can an eye improve that much?
I need that St Paul's appointment which I have in less than a fortnight. I need to ask them questions.
You all gave me more confidence this morning. I appreciate that. Thank you. And I didn't get brow beaten to rush into something. I need St Paul's assessment.
I am dog tired now. I need a nap.
Good for you.St Paul's Eye Unit I attend, is located within the New Royal Liverpool University Hospital, just off Prescott Street where it joins Kensington...
I was assertive today. Said I wanted second opinion of St Paul's...and I would get back to them @Lamont D
You had a hectic day!
Thank you @gennepher, that’s very kindIt is not a disaster @dunelm !
It is brilliant!

I need a few days with no stress and just for me...
Night night....
