I have little faith in mine.... he just seems in it for the money... the surgery hosts an opticians and a house letting company too all run by his family
Finally got some news on a dentist. Found a local one that apparently is NHS, just not on the NHS list If I want to go as an emergency, it will cost me £47 + any treatment. However, if I register with them, they the £47 can be dropped, and the cost of the treatment can be paid in instalments. I registered with them over the phone, then got told my appointment will be a week on Monday
They have to give you an emergency before then........ they should have appts every day for emergencies.... On weekends there is also an emergency dental clinic in every area..
I had to pay £18 on the NHS for BOTH an emergency consultation... and a script for antibiotics ... AND the extraction a week later.
I have been in hospital tonight. Frú Ak has a great pain in her shoulder and she has calcified tendon. Rest and painkillers.
Morning all, is this really summer? Grey and murky here. Dashing around the Vienne today, so no time to stop. Hope Fru AK gets some relief soon.
Morning all Mrs H and I both woke up early so decided to do the supermarket shop at 7am. Slightly bizarre walking round an almost empty vast Sainsburys but very good eating breakfast back home knowing there's enough food in the house for a month. Hope Mrs Ak's shoulder is not too long healing. I did some rotater cuff damage a few years ago. By the time some physiotherapy finally became available at our nearest hospital it had healed. I went and had the physiotherapy from a rather lovely young lady anyway
Afternoon all from a bright & sunny bandit country. My big sis came up from deepest Kent for the day yesterday and we all went to my fav Italian last night - very nice pasta, Valpolicella and company was excellent. My sis retired at Xmas and they are planning on doing on a lot of travelling - they went to Cuba and Costa Rica in February and Costa Rica sounded wonderful.They stayed in a lodge above the tree canopy in the rain forest but with a steep walk down to a beach on the Pacific that was deserted - well about from a Cayman in the lagoon just along the beach! They were told she was safe as long as you did not go too deep and too close or she may give you a "nip" or 2! I think Costa Rica will be added to our bucket list. Feel for Mrs AK, AK. I had a similar thing a few years ago and it was agony - but it was in the days when GP's actually "fixed"people. My GP went and got a big needle full of Steroids and injected it straight into the tendon - now I am not a great one for needles, but I just looked away and thought of England. But a day or so later it was fine again - nowadays you would be sent to the A&E and wait 4 hours and be given a course of tablets that would take 4 weeks to work, no wonder A&E is in crisis. I am on a crusade against hospitals and the NHS, my dear old pa-in-law has just come out after being in for a couple of weeks - turns out he never had a shower for all of last week, because they were broken. He was too proud to ask for a bed bath - but why did the nurses not just give him one! Absolutely disgusting!
Just had Mlle Yorkie's last prize day...... "Award for Drama" Those who know her will not be surprised
I know NZ, but who am I to argue with a piece of improvision from the great Orson Welles? I suppose you could swap it Cheese with holes in or the original gangster bankers?
