I am grateful to my vet friend. He was right I have jaundice. I have a sallow hue to my skin and the itchy skin and non specific feeling of unwellness are explained. A few other physical symptoms also understood. Now to find out why. So scans and referrals needed. I have also given an armful of blood samples.There is an outside chance it is a rare side effect of a recently inreased medication. If it is that will be a hoot as the particular drug was given as a substitute for a rare but life threatening side effect to another drug that I fell victim to.

Oh Spirit, hoping it is something simple that can just be adjusted xxx

Yes he does but he is worried about cost. When I say musical tour, I mean they will be playing at various places in Italy rather than watching musicals :rotfl:

The numbers are limited to their orchestra members and rare selected musicians.

I did think they would be showing them the musical delights of Italy.

Hopefully they will keep the costs down if they actually want to put on concerts.

It's actually a very reasonable £400 ish, not bad for 7 nights including travel over there, all meals, travel around Italy, hotel etc in the middle of July. Still a fair bit of money but for a school thing abroad, quite cheap!

Too right not bad, year 6 trip for DD1 4 nights at PGL in Surrey (Sussex?) is £380, you could have knocked me over when I heard, I can not see how it could possibly give that value of educational/social benefit. (Nor understand whty the school thinks that is not an unreasonable sum of money for most parents to find)

What would have happened in the short/medium/long term if you'd never seen him and carried on with your life as it was, without a clue?

I was seeing my GP Today, and we were going to follow up on post stroke stuff and unexplained Rigors. I would have mentioned he general Unwellness but not sure I would have mentioned the symptoms he asked me about and I confirmed. I tolerate quite a bit of stuff and 'don't want to always be whinging'.

Surgery lights would not have drawn attention to yellowing eyes and skin

Can you afford it? I would love to chip in if it would help. He deserves it. Like those "Pink Ladies" on the HSBC advert that seems to be on everything all the time ATM.

Hope it turns out to be easily fixable, Spirit.

My solicitor phoned me today. She is leaving the firm next week, so will be handing my case over to a guy she works with. I've spoken to him on the phone several times when I've rung up when she's not been in the office, and he seems v nice and v capable. She tells me he knows all about my case ... well, actually everybody in the office knows all about my case because it's been going on for so long and being so unusual and complicated.

I'm glad the bulk of everything is over with, and I'm sure the new bloke will be fine. All the same, I'll miss her a lot. She's looked after me legally through all the twists and turns of the last 5+ years, and helped me claim what feels to me like a huge sum of money. People that know more about solicitors, please tell me, would it be acceptable for me to send her a present? And if so, what should I pick?

Thanks.

Just asked my sister, and she said when she worked as a legal assistant the solicitor she worked for used to get little gifts now and again, flowers or a bottle of wine, chocolates, that sort of thing. And that was for doing completions on houses, so I don't think under your circumstances it would be inappropriate at all

I know nothing about solicitors, but I'm so sorry you're losing her. Perhaps something like a book token would be acceptable ? I know law books cost the earth.

I thought you were all done and dusted.

At least she has been there for the bulk of it. I think a token of flowers/ chocs/ book token would be well received.
