MG - The Matrix Re-wired

Memory_Girl

I'd be for camping in the GP's surgery till you were seen - !!!!!! you live on your own and you are ill, 15 days is just too long to still be feeling so poorly.

Just getting ready to go to school for meet with DS1's teacher - don't hold out much hope LOL. Teacher seems to think that DS1 will always struggle academically ............... so ladies who have met him, over to you ............. what do you think?

Mmmm! thought not, Socially perhaps, academically I don't think so - a kid who chatted about Physics, metaphysics, quantum physics, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, Fermat's theorem, the "four minute mile" conumdrum, algebra as a language for "everything", why E doesn't equal MC2, event horizons, singularity points,Shakespeare (would he be writing for the BBC or Disney if he were alive today?) ....

............ seriously I was glad to get to Glasgow and let someone else be asked the questions LOL

This should be interesting - wish HIM luck LOL

@Greenbee it is time you kicked some donkey - 15 days is far too long without seeing a proper GP not being rude but any idiot can write a fit note:mad: I would either turn up in the surgery without an appointment and sit there coughing over people or go to A&E. A chest xray may be the way to go because at least they will be able to see what is going on.

@Hopeful - I confess I ate the chicken wing cold late on yesterday afternoon as I fancied a little nibble. The chicken leg went into the slow cooker today with a stockcube, water, pepper, herbs, an onion and a tin of carrots from my store cupboard (no fresh carrots in my kitchen)..I set it to cook before I went to college today.

I have some frogs to chomp - sorting our my class 2 NI exemption, sending the form to the water board about my single occupancy alowance (it means cheaper water for me). I also need to do some sorting out and complete some application forms.

A bell jar sounds good - I could have done with one of them today - there is someone in the class who is so argumentative and keeps using the excuse that she is old, she is 50 like me although she looks about 20 years older..I guess being negative and argumentative is very ageing.

Greenbee stuff what they may or may not think. This is your health, insist to be seen. How can they possibly follow a proper treatment plan if they aren't even examining you. 15 days is far too long to be going without seeing a Dr and no improvement in your condition. Am extremely !!!!ed off on your behalf :mad:

I made an appointment as my brother said if I didn't he'd make one for me... they booked me in with my own GP as when I said I'd already spoken to the duty doctor, and they said they'd have to speak to her, I told them my family were threatening to take me to A&E. So they got round the dilemma and booked me in with someone else. My ears, lungs and throat (the bit she can see) are all clear. I told her it had all be in my throat the whole time and not my lungs... so hopefully she will have words with her colleagues. No swabs until I'm off the antibiotics if I'm still bringing up gunk (obviously they should have been done before :cool:). I'm doing everything right but I have to stop even trying to talk or whisper, both are bad for me So if I'm not better this time next week (after a few days off the antibiotics they'll get someone to have a proper look down my throat and into my voicebox to find out what it is that is trying to choke me.

I think maybe the teacher is feeling a little challenged. Is there a private school locally that might be a better fit for him? If so, maybe you should see whether he can sit for a scholarship... he sounds like exactly the material some of the really academic schools (that may be more accepting of his differences) might be interested in...

Good afternoon

I have had to take ds2 back to the drs today he is still not well either, the drs think he may have a bowel infection so a sample is needed eww lol

Well I have found out today who my friends definitely are, that I have well and truly been screwed over and royally used .

Wonder if its like the cough DS2 has has - nothing in his chest but still poorly.

Well meeting over:D

Where the Teacher had "Mindstore" the 90 sec seminar presented to him, where he agreed that DS1 was a different boy this week, where I stressed that if School Bully got around to DS1, then my next call would be the Sec of State for Ed plus local DCI as far as I am concerned assault is assault is assault.

DS1 also managed to gentle point out to Teacher today that he had the wrong units on an algebra problem - that squared and cubed are different things. :rotfl: At least he did it discreetly and politely.

The Private School up here is a "rugger !!!!!! / league table / rah rah rah " one (St Andrews remember!) Scholarships are partial (5%) and really provision for those who learn differently seems to be in pointing them back to the state sector IYSWIM? So not an ideal solution.

Hopefully High School will be a better experience for DS1 - in any case he is firming up a project that he is hoping the Matrix Ladies will help him with - one that could benefit lots of boys like him.

So dinner is calling

well there's always boarding school... didn't do me any harm... I don't think There were no schools near me that did more than CSEs/lower leverl GCSEs so my parents made the decision to send both me and my brother away to school to give us a chance of an education.

Memory_Girl

Not an option I'm afraid - didn't have my kids to fob them off to someone else to raise. Its only a few more months of Primary before he goes up to High School, so lets see how he gets on.

Failing that - well we will have to come up with planB

Dinner is griddled polenta topped with butterbeans in pesto,spinach salad and frozen yogurt. Love my AF store cupboard LOL. WE certainly don't live on Pot Noodles.
