The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

I've had a letter from our GP informing me that as I no longer live in their area they're removing me from their books.

Yet the letter was addressed to me at my house...in their area...

I rang them up and they reckoned theyll sort it, but I'm not confident so I may drop in with my driving licence and a map.

When we moved, back in January , we were also told we had 8 weeks to find another surgery as we were in a different area. We did so, including a new chemist shop. Frankly, the new surgery seem to be more efficient than the previous one so no regrets.

I have just had my canula removed for the last time and it hurt.
I came out with a 'f uk' which fortunately made the nurse laugh.

We settled on pizza. What a culinary delight it was to.

The sun disappeared about 9.00. It's chilly. I have a jumper on. The OT says I can take the splints off my finger. It feels better already.

Car lights. I've noticed new modern cars, those with LED headlights, appear to flash their lights a lot. I think it's either sunlight catching the reflectors or perhaps a fault? I think it's a design fault.

I say this because in town today I noticed a guy 200 metres back who kept flashing me. It was very bright, rapid flashing similar to the blue lights on unmarked police cars. I thought he was indicating I had a problem. Then I realised another car, two cars behind, same model was also rapidly flashing. About two miles later I did pull over and check the back of the car. Nothing.

Or is it just me?

Design fault imo. I think they will change it.

Pleasant walk done with Margaret, just short of 8 miles. We stopped half way for a sandwich and bag of crisps. I always like a walk where you can do a loop rather than an out and back.

Thing is, I do live in their area. This is the new GP I registered with when I moved.

It was a meat feast.

Behave yourself man, there are ladies present. Great to see you back on here, must be on the mend.

Back from a very pleasant ride into West Lothian with MrsFoE. Lots of offroad. Cafe stop in West Calder. Sunshine and light cloud, mid to high teens, tailwind home.

You want to see some of Mo's "Chilly Hilly Willy Walks"!

I just sat at my desk and fell asleep for thirty minutes, never done that before.

Did you fall forward onto your desk, or wake when your head rolled to far to one side as it lay leaning on the back of the chair?
