Off Topic The SIR Kenny Dalglish Public House

My young nephew has a problem with his spine, told he will need surgery and he's really scared of anything medical. Turned up on time on the day it was scheduled absolutely petrified and was sent home because it had been cancelled. Not good enough is it?

As my son works for the NHS I get to hear both sides so I know some of the difficulties hospitals face but there's definitely room for improvement.

 

Definitely not good enough. I've had to book the day off, do a 31mile round trip and pay £4 for car parking to be there for the maximum of 5mins and told ernest I already knew.

PS... the £4 doesn't bother me too much as it's only £4 but if they do that to everyone?

 

That's a pisser mate. I must have just been very fortunate with my hip and knees in terms of the quality of treatment I received.

 

Terry Jones has died ......RIP

 

I suppose all the Pythons are now of an age were they will all pass on in the next few years. Us old codgers are thinking our comedy and music heroes of our youth are all dropping like flies, it just makes one feel old.

 

The hospital my little granddaughter was in as a newborn (in neonatal) makes £1.3m a year in parking charges. Parents who have to stay with their babies all day, every day get a pass but the rest of the family, such as grandparents who also want to be there as long as they possibly can, have to pay full rates.

It really is scandalous charging people so much when they're in vulnerable situations like this. Parking fees in general annoy me. There are a few places that we used to go to walk the dog where you just pulled over and had a nice walk through some woods or a bit of parkland. They all charge to park now.

 

Hospital where my three were born didn't offer a pass. I had to pay but was able to buy a week pass that made it much cheaper for two births (they were both in for four days, the third was only two days)

 

Our little one was in intensive care for 8 weeks hence the pass.

How's your youngster after his operation,?

 

Fine mate. Took a bit of stopping him doing things for a while but he's back to the lively little ****er he was before now

Having a few behaviour issues with him now though; only five (six in two weeks) but showing strong signs of anxiety and some possibly adhd/autism traits. Could just be the result of a tough year though

 

Might sound a bit unrelated but have you checked your boy's hearing? I know a couple of little ones, one was five, who were showing signs of possible adhd and it turned out to be very poor hearing. Might be worth a visit to the gp for a referral.

 

Yes, first thing we had checked

 

So not that then. You might just have a little live wire on your hands.

 

I can cope and deal with bad behaviour. I've denied it for a while but I'm starting to think this is more tbh. Time will tell, it is what it is, etc...

 

Thoughts with you mate. Our children are really our only proof we were ever really here.

I only mentioned the hearing in case you weren't aware. I'm sure you know what you're doing.

 

Cheers buddy. Middle born is dyslexic which isn't a major issue, especially nowadays but needs to be sorted early to help their development. Youngest shows similar traits but other things like zoning out, routines, anxiety & anger if he's not happy, etc.

There are kids with autism and adhd etc in the Mrs' (nm) side of the family, plus I work with a lot a lot of young autistic adults do we both recognise these signs.

 

I wouldn't say I know what I'm doing, I'm useless with medical stuff so leave it to the Mrs (nm).

Problem is, he tells school everything. He's told them a few times that I shout at him or I'm nasty to him. Fortunately, he also tells them why (when he's been naughty, nasty his just doing something he doesn't like) too

 

I was obviously lucky with both of mine
Fair play greez.
