OMG! You wouldn't believe the morning I've had..........1st of all the other day I had picked up a prescription got it home & discovered it was the wrong size needles, took it back & had to wait until another script was made out & then collected the correct needles.
I then had to order more insulin, & needed it before the surgery/pharmacy closed for the holidays (until tomorrow).
Finished the last of the insulin in the Kwik pen last night so this morning took a new one of of the fridge to leave it at room temp. Had a look at it & realised ot wasn't the same as the original pen as I thought the one I had was a throwaway one (which it is).
Decided to go to Boots (10-00am) to see if they were open today, they were & the pharmacist there had a look in her medi book & said the new insulin was for a different pen, so not any good for me.
She then phoned St Johns hospital who eventually phoned her back to tell her they had one pack but would need to make sure a patient didn't need it. Finally they phoned back to say I could have it, but they closed at 3-00pm & I would also have to see an out of hours GP as they couldn't just give it out without a script!
By this time it was almost midday & the pharmacist had said she'd phoned the on call GP & as he was dealing with patients she would call me & let me know which medical practise he was working from & I could go there & collect script. If I'd phoned I could have been waiting for several hours in a queue & more than likely miss the hospital pharmacy.

I then picked up what I needed from Asda & was ready to drive home when I had a call from St Johns, a really nice GP told me he couldn't write out a script for the hospital pharmacy but he'd managed to get an A&E doc to sign it. Phew!
Went to A&E & picked up said script & then on to the pharmacy.
Finally got home just before 1-30pm!

What a bloody palaver, but at least I got it sorted. I have to say the pharmacist in Boots couldn't have been any more helpful. She went beyond & above her job. I'll have to hand in a card & some flowers, she was so so helpful.
Of course all this has to happen when it's a public holiday & my health centre & the next door pharmacy are closed!

Afternoon all. *pours self very large spritzer* *sluuuuuuuuurp*
OMG..... We could have lost our lovely McScots .....Good job you was on the ball and well done that lovely helpful chemist!!!!

Losing the filling for the second time in two weeks pales into insignificance compared to your day. Fortunately , got a appointment for Thursday morning 930 am....Got a bone density scan at 12. Thursday's gonna be day to look forward to......

’spose I should my appointment with the practise nurse to have my BP meds reviewed and I have an eye hospital appointment next week.

It’s a pain being prodded and poked.

Yep.

If I don’t like it I can grumble about it. Unless there is someone I loath on there but I don’t think squeaky, insincere Lorraine Kelly will be doing it.

Afternoon all peeps!



*sniffs coffee suspiciously* Butter? In COFFEE???? Thanks, I think, Gemo!



FFS! All that blooming palaver. They know from your history you need the feckin insulin. Well, at least you got it and thatnk goodness the pharmacist was on the ball. I imagine you'd not have been well having to do without for a day
I would imagine so! It's not really recommended!
A POOL? Did you say a POOL????
Yes, I'm spoiling you lot.
My bathroom has been improved too.

Mr G got me Glitter Lips (seen on Dragon’s Den and then on my daughter) for Christmas so I thought I would make the effort and get made up for New Years Eve dinner. He fitted the magnifying mirror in my bathroom and I decided I wanted a storage unit for my new make up. Got one of these which works really well. A slightly smaller similar unit cost almost twice as much.
What on earth is Glitter lips? Is it a lipstick?
You are such a moaner!
In all seriousness i'm glad the NHS and the lovely Boots pharmacist sorted you out and you can get back to your charming self.
I will take a drink if there is a wee dram going free just for the New Year and that?
Happy New Year to all pubsters.
Love the new smilies, it's about time!
Shurrup you!
Because I'm such a reasonable person you can have a free dram (just the one tho'), I'm not running a charidee!
HNY to you too. Mwahhhhh
Very sorry to hear this. A living nightmare for you. I'm just pleased that you were lucky enough to come across decent, helpful people.
I know, it makes a change doesn't it?
Big Brother?? I thought that was a summer thing!

Evening all parps. Gin and tonic please!
This is a zelebrity one, which is always on at this time of year, CH5 also have another zeleb one after the civilian one in summer.
OMG..... We could have lost our lovely McScots .....Good job you was on the ball and well done that lovely helpful chemist!!!!

Good luck with your scan on Thursday. Hopefully you aren't in pain.
I shall, thank you very much.
Yep.

Thank f.eck, can't stand that bloomin' woman!
