What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

[Krystyna23040]

I'd have a stern word with that diary secretary but perhaps not in public. People may not see that as normal, even in Nelson's county.

Yes, I think that you are right @ianpspurs. Heads definitely would turn if I had stern words with the diary Secretary in public. People would definitely give me a wide berth if they saw me arguing with myself.

 

[Krystyna23040]

Think @ianpspurs is right

Not sure how you can work for such a slave driver..

You need to get out there and join the XSM*....ASAP

(*XMAS Strike Movement )

A bit like Downward Dog.
But with Placards & a little chanting

Yes @jjraak I definitely need to join the XSM immediately. Very good advice.

Brilliant that you are back walking in Richmond park @jjraak

Last time I was in Richmond Park was in 1962. I was learning to drive our big, old Jowett Javelin (big car, 1500cc) and my dad found a car park within the park with a row of saplings running across it. He had me maneuvering the car through figures of 8 along the line of trees and then reversing 8's back the way we had come. A bit stressful, but I didn't hit any of the trees.

Still, I think walking is a better way to enjoy the park.

The Jowett Javelin was a 6 seater executive car produced from 1947 to 1953 by Jowett Cars Ltd of Idle, near Bradford in England. It was a very comfortable car, albeit a bit quirky and very heavy steering.

Edit: Executive car sounds posh - it was 2nd hand, bought for £300, so though it might have been something to write home about, we were far from posh.

The Jowett Javelin was quite a fast car in saloon terms, if I remember rightly.

Married March 62 but still had motorbike since 1957, got my first car in 1963 a Heartbeat type Ford Anglia, after Helen was born.

My first boyfriend's father had one of those. He never made any pretence of being a good driver (great sailor but rubbish driver) so he got my dad to give his son driving lessons in the Anglia. It was quite an unusual car with its backward swept rear screen. Dad had been a driving instructor in the army during WW2 and his method of teaching was a bit on the rough side, but he got David through his driving test, so all was well.

We bought our first car in 1964 - a 2nd hand, rebored, Morris Traveller. Great workhorse and pretty comfortable but its top speed, going downhill was 45 mph. Still, it did the trip from Canterbury to Ayrshire without a problem. Just kept plodding onwards.

Had to edit a bit because, as has happened before, the thread just decided to upload before I'd finished.

Well my bg was 7.8 this morning but I did hold off taking it as I felt pants mentally. I am okay now but had a bad night again, not being able to sleep as all sorts (and not the sweets ) going around and around my head. Eventually got to sleep at 2:30am and up at 6:30am - with the dulcet tones of the neighbour banging around. Got up to a very crisp view of fields and hills which was lovely, semi rural place does have its merits. Shame I cannot move the house to one of the fields and be detached instead of semi detached!

Good morning everyone on a bit of a chill in the air start as well as a bright and silver moon here in the dark and dangerous north. Jabber the phutt came in at 5.1 this a.m. despite having consumed half a Yorkshire Fat Rascal after dinner last night. Mrs Miggins arrived safely home yesterday, ladened down with “bargains” - yeh, right, and quick as a flash, a string of bright blue LED lights appeared in the hallway. Looked like a scenes of crime set for some TV soap. Art bit - some more details added. Hope you all have the best day that you can. I better finish my koffy before it goes cold.

Hello everyone from a "very particular" bright, clear, snow dusted area of The East. A scene best shared by local weather watchers than lived through.. Hugs for @lindisfel @dunelm @Annb. Pity the Key Workers toiling away through the night and early morning the value of their labour shrinking before their very eyes. Some hapless minister was trying to put lipstick on an ugly, dying pig last night. Blind men in space see the pig is having none of it. If "they" believe this they are to be pitied if not who gains? Anyhow. @dunelm thanks for the developing art. Good news on the led lights and bargains. @gennepher Thanks for the creative once again. I see an abstract like the Mirror of Erised in Harry Potter. A, late, artist friend of mine was fond of such work so these bring back good and bad memories. MIL's heating being fixed today as her central heating pump is kaput. British Gas homecare busy but functioning better than many other parts of UK Plc. Quince? JKP had a customer who gave her loads. So mach sugar and pfaff to turn then into quince jelly. I've seen meddlers for sale but was never tempted. Treatment later then salmon salad and probably football watching. This Advent I/we really seem to be living in that odd space between a clearly wrong present, a time when what could be has been made manifest and the promise of fulfilment for our deepest desires by a completely trustworthy source. Today's poem https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/old-age-by-edmund-waller-7/. Amazingly apt methinks. Enjoy your day if possible after that. The chinks of light Waller mentions are echoed by @gennepher's creative and I have salmon and LC cocoa. You?

Thank you for all your lovely words.

And your compliments on my painting.

For me, this painting is an entrance to a magical world...

I hope they can fix MIL's CH pump @ianpspurs

Just got back home.
It would take too long to explain properly, but I got a no reply text (I hate those no reply texts) yesterday afternoon, about some medical records which are not right. And someone has assumed that I've not been attending the St Paul's eye hospital since 23 July 2019. And that I have slipped through the net as regards my appointments at St Paul's Eye Hospital Liverpool.

But you all know I have been attending my St Paul's Eye Hospital appointments yearly. And I have said on here that I have an appointment on December 20th.

So who decided I have slipped through the St Paul's Eye Hospital, and why the specific date of from 23 July? That makes no sense. All my St Paul's appointments are Dec/Jan time.

So, I went to my doctorless surgery, to the receptionists to find out what was going on. They tell me I haven't been attending St Paul's Eye Hospital since 23 July 2019. I explain that I have, and that I have my yearly appointment on 20 December very soon.

The receptionist tells me she put this referral through yesterday. Why ? I ask? On whose authority? I'll print out the referral letter she said.

I couldn't make sense of it on first read. And by the way we would like you to come in for a blood pressure check on Monday receptionist said and nurse will give you a blood test form. What is this for, I ask. I don't know, you'll find out when you get here, receptionist said. I would like to know now, I said, please can you ask someone. There's no one here to ask, she replied. No nurse, no doctor I asked? No, she said.

In that huge massive waiting room, there are only two chairs for patients to wait on.

I was there nearly three quarters of an hour while she was dealing with me, and not one soul came in all that time. There was only one other receptionist on the phone dealing with incoming calls. There was no other staff in the back room, prior Covid that was full of people on phones and stuff.

Now I understand the complaints online with my doctorless surgery. People say they ring for days, and they are told they are number 221 (I kid you not) in the telephone queue, but half hour later they get cut off...

I got told by the receptionist I should not have come in, that I should have made a telephone call for my enquiry. I said I couldn't because I was deaf and couldn't hear on the phone and there was no other way of communication with the surgery no email nothing.

You should have done it online then she said. I said there's no means of doing it online I said I used to be able to do it online with 'my health online' but they stopped doing it a long time ago, I said. 'My health online' is only for your prescriptions now she said. You need to.... and then she lost me with what she was saying because I had not heard those words/phrases before so I explained I didn't understand her.
So please could she write it down for me, I asked. She didn't, and I asked again for her to do so

She didn't really want to deal with me anymore so she said, just turn up for the nurse for the blood pressure on on Monday and she will tell you what the blood test will be for.

I got no further with her.

I did some shopping after that because I thought if the weather was still getting bad then I don't really want to go out the next few days so so I did some fridge stuff shopping.

I was tired when I got back in and I open this letter of referral from the doctorless surgery to St Paul's Eye Hospital. It was written by what I think was an Indian doctor locum from 'Pooled Doctors', and it said locum after her name, and I presume this is being done long distance from some nhs hub and she's accessed the surgery records on me, and has very much cherry-picked my medical history for the last 20-years. There is an awful lot that has been missed out. She didn't know me, she has no knowledge of me and I'm going to look at this referral again tomorrow because I am completely confused today. Well I'm not confused I'm just confused as to what is going on.

I sincerely hope this does not mess my 20th of December eye appointment at St. Paul's Liverpool. This is what's worrying me, but there's absolutely nothing I can do about this. Fingers crossed that my St Paul's appointment goes ahead as planned.

That is appalling gernnepher. There must be someone who can deal with complaints - at the NHS Trust, maybe? Is your MP no use in situations like this?

To make sure of your appointment at St Paul's, would it be possible to send them an e-mail to get clarification? It would be awful for you to go there and find your appointment had been cancelled. Alternatively, is there a Citizens' Advice Bureau within reach?

I do hope you can get this sorted out to your satisfaction.

My MP is useless @Annb
I have tried using him several times over this doctorless surgery.

No CAB within reach.

I can see my St Paul's appointment letter on the notice board. I will see if there is an email address on there. It is a long way to go from Wales to Liverpool, if there turns out to be a problem.
Thanks x

Thanks.
I will look into that as regards my appointment at St Paul's @lindisfel

Going to Google now...

EDIT It says PALS is only accessible by telephone for the Royal Liverpool, I cannot do that, I cannot use the phone with being deaf.

But I have found an email address for PALS...

I am so sorry that you have to deal with this, along with others by the looks of things this is going to be the norm for the future. There should be a practice manager that you can contact, there is at my ghost surgery . I have been lucky to a degree that I haven't had much to do with my surgery but when I did go in for my hba1c it was deathly quiet in the waiting room (usually packed), I was the first in though. At least I didn't have the radar gun pointed at me again for my temperature like the last time by the receptionist who looked completely stressed and ready to walk out or run and hide under the table! Hope you get it sorted as its completely unacceptable that you cannot even email xxx

 

[alf_Josiah]

Good late afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and big hugs to our @gennepher and to others that need a hug or two.

Bloods this morning were 5.3 and yesterday 7.2 .

To those of a woke disposition please read no further.

Was at the hospital for a routine liver clinic appointment this morning and then stupidly took Mrs J out for lunch at a bloody garden centre.
This mornings appointment was number 3 of 6 this month. Busy medical month. The liver consultation was happy with my results. I don’t suppose the rude, blunt receptionist was.

I don’t suppose it was the done thing to walk past the rather grumpy receptionist on the way out singing in a loud voice that old Fred Wedlock ditty, “ when your smiling, when your smiling, the whole world knows your stoned “.

Well you were warned.

 

[gennepher]

Well that’s not good. Sounds like that receptionist couldn’t care less. I hope that you can speak to the nurse on Monday and get some sense out of her/him/it.

Thank you. I will have a written list of questions I want/need addressing @dunelm
Including I will take in a letter from St Paul's that they (my doctorless surgery) received in last December 2021, to say that I had attended my appointment and that there was a request to change my eye meds, and presumably it was the surgery or one of the Pooled Doctors who authorised the change of my eye med which happened a couple of months later.

And so, why was this letter sent to St Paul's saying I had not attended any eye appointments there since July 23 2019?

I might even prepare something to be handed to the practice manager ...

I know the practice manager's name, but there is no email contact for him. It seems you have to go through the gatekeeper receptionists for everything...
