I would have thought they were a good idea......maybe catch things before they become a serious problem. The way things are there is no chance of anything like that happening anytime soon though.

They were indeed a good idea but I don't think there was enough money in the practice budget. The Practice Nurse and Health Care Assistants seen to work pretty hard as it is and getting an appointment for routine stuff has a longer waiting time now.I would have thought they were a good idea......maybe catch things before they become a serious problem.

They always have time for a chat tho' and on my last visit the boot was on the other foot as the Practice Nurse unloaded her woes about her mother who has Parkinson's at an advanced stage. My wife of course had Parkinson's so she knew I could understand her problems. I was happy to listen as she has listened to my troubles often enough.

Have Wiggle stopped issuing Haribos? Received two new Schwalbe Marathon Tyres for Mrs @BoldonLad's bicycle today. No Haribos!

I had a heart attack 5/6 years ago and have not been offered one since. I do have a full set of blood tests plus all the routine BP, HR etc. every July.

Cannot remember which injection now but once I had to sit in the waiting room for 10 minutes after the jab in case I collapsed.

If I remember correctly when I first had a flu jab I had to wait 10 minutes before leaving the surgery.Now the practice nurse asks if I have had the injection before and did I have any reaction.

As I mentioned last week, the mystery 'jab' was so un-jablike that I didn't even feel it and I didn't even have a mark on my skin, let alone any sudden reaction to it.
My brother-in-law had a reaction to the contrast dye used for a CT scan, and suffered a cardiac arrest!
I knew about that when I was having my first CT scan done when I was in hospital with blood clots. It made me 'somewhat nervous'...

Numbnuts...so happy you got your garage, but 450 yards? If you got your Brompton as I suggested you could ride over there! My neighbor who helped with my sheepherders wagon will ride a a bike or use his electric scooter to visit me at maybe 200 yards.
About the TV..in '92 Springsteen came out with a song "57 channels and there is nothing on". Now of course many more channels.
It was supposedly -4.5 C this morning but as we are 300 ft above the river it's usually a little warmer here and I see no frost. Will be 16.7C this afternoon. And the sky is crystal clear as the rain the other night washed away the smoke.
Perhaps after my ride I will begin affixing rectangles of pseudo Persian carpet to the 14 steps going from the basement to the main floor. The aged canine's devil toes slip on the oak steps from time to time and perhaps this will help.
Hope you feel better, Dave7.

57 channels......one of my favourites.
It's a small world. Discovered one of the ladies I ride with is the goddaughter of two of my closest friends who live four doors down from us.

I was thinking about an electric scooter, but they are illegal over here and you could get 6 points on your driving licence if you got caught, no Ill stick to walking.......but the scooter does sound like fun
