Essex Badger Protection Group & South Essex Wildlife Hospital do a fantastic job, saving orphaned badgers & releasing them to artificial setts. Builds are funded by EBPG & constructed by their dedicated volunteers. But they desperately need a release site in Essex. Please share
Impressive! Was there another from the clan on your tail?
I don't think you're a plonker, & I don't think your brain is being entirely illogical, but it is being....unhelpful!
A cold seems much more likely, or could it be hay-fever? Tree pollen in full force atm.

Ouch! Hope it clears up soon, eczema is the worst x
Plus which TB doesn't spread easily, you need really prolonged contact e.g. living with someone.
Why do brains do this, eh? x

That sounds well horrible. How are you feeling now?

The problem is that I think can be difficult as a patient to differentiate burnout from lack of care.
For me, if a HCP is generally good, it's fairly easy to forgive them the fails which come as a result of system overwhelm. It's harder if there isn't an ongoing relationship &/or you don't get any sense that they are trying. >
Bother!
Crumble is a fine dinner & also an excellent breakfast!.
a woman in a blue dress picks white tree blossoms in spring next to a babbling brook…as swans & their goslings swim by…blooming trees are everywhere & in the background is a cozy cottage, the scene is a spring pastoral with light blues and greens and yellows
thinking spring thoughts to help it along
It appears he wrote in the notes that I would collect the orthotics from location X, and never told me this! So, whe.t I went to Kings, the orthotics were in the other location. And the next afternoon appt isn't until May😬
Erm, no. When I saw him in Jan he struck me as a bit of a muppet. New orthotics were due be ready at the beginning of March. I did say I might collect before the appt & asked to be seen next at Kings, where all previous appts (& collections) had been rather than location X, where I was seen in Jan >
Noooooooo!!!!!
I'm empathising with your grumpiness!
You should have seen me yesterday after my encounter with the orthotist 😬😳
Sure, just hmu whenever you're ready 💜
Entirely fair. Referral pathways in the NHS are frustratingly opaque!
fwiw I didn't feel the hosp did anything more for me than the optician, so the optician might not be a bad place to start. If they say it's not, then I guess maybe hosp would be more likely to see you🤔
Early Frost. 1°C and a fine day to come. Hares.

Dear oh, what a palaver. Dry eye sufferer here, I might be able to help if you think it is that....
It is very needed. But sadly I have to finish packing & get on a coach😬
I do like the way your husband tells you to rest. Good man! I hope it's a good rest x
I'm wondering whether there is more than one mother &/or they've done the bulk of the work.
If it's just one mother, all I have to say is OUCH!
Annoying!
Now recalling when mum was worried about the risks of cataract surgery. Lovely GP called, I put her on speakerphone (with her consent) & she explained how safe it was.
Mum afterwards: it wasn't anything I didn't know
Me:
I am, much more than I used to be, although taking tentative steps back into contact.
My mum is even more so & is even reluctant to seek medical attention, so much so that I've had to ask my own GP a few times. GP is a sweetie, but still...
Yes, it was the same with my dad. At the moment, I don't think there is anything to mark it out as the onset of dementia, rather than normal age related forgetfulness, but nor could I say with any confidence that it isn't. The other reason, which I can't say complicates things even further. Sigh.
Thank you for hosting and distracting me from badger related worries.
Also thanks for he reminder. I thought it was the weekend after next!! #MadSkyChat
