Yep. Ribs are a bit sore. Leg is well strapped and hopefully bleeding has stopped now.
Was it an Oak Furniture Land chair?

Morning all
Highlight of the day is a 2.30 pm appointment at the docs to have my bloods done.
Something to look forwards to.![]()
Suppose they decide to stop working at the furthest point from home?Good morning folks,
Mrs TKK is off out with the “ Portland Girls “ for lunch ( the name of the hospital ward they all worked on )
I’m almost free of the lurgy with just a residual headache and sore throat. I’ll head out for a walk later, nothing epic like Mo, just a “ see if the legs still work “ perambulation.
Stay safe folks 👍☕️🌧️
Well I am still here (I think). Leg is sore but I am leaving it covered until tomorrow. Ribs are sore where I landed but I don't think anything is broken.
Today will definitely be a chill day.
I'm back
not been well for a few days - lets just say stomach problems and leave the details
annoying thing was that I took the tablets as recommended by a pharmacist - which said to contact a GP if the symptons didn;t go after 3 days
so on the 4th day I went to the GP's surgery for 8a.m.
Was told I could only get a telehone consultation - which is fine - but "it might be tomorrow now"
firstly "now" - reception only opens at 8 and it was 2 minutes past - how can it be 'now'
also - what about the next 24 hours - is it safe to keep taking the tablets???
I explained the tablets problems and they said that someone - who may not have been a doctor - would check and ring back that day
well that was the day before yesterday
no phone call
no missed calls
they don;t actually know what tablets I am taking - probably just the Immodium you would expect - but they don't know
Clearly anyone who knows stuff would check with a Pharmacist as well - but I believe that a Pharmacist would be obliged to say "You need to see a Doctor" as it has gone past the number of days.
And I could go to the Urgent Care centre
I didn;t do either of these because the problem got better - but they don't know that
and I have know several people who, if told by a GP surgery that they will get a phone call, would believ that the Grat and WOnderful GP will be all wise and all knowing and will ring when they can
and - they don;t want to 'be a trouble'
ANyway - I feel a complaint coming on - I'm not after causing trouble - but sometimes things need to be highlighted because my one relatively minor problem might just be a symptom of something bigger
NOTE - I am not saying the GP surgery is rubbish and incompetent - it is just that the system has forced a situation that shouldn't exists
but lets not go all NACA

I really believe the whole country, including our once great NHS is totally broken and the best we can even hope for is just a very modest recovery which is going to take at least 6 years if we’re lucky.![]()
