    As it's 4am in Illinois I would guess that our friend is either an early riser or from Illinois but not in Illinois.

    I dunno. My first experience of an online discussion forum was the whole baby experience - which involved a lot of sitting at the computer in the middle of the night, with the baby propped on pillows on my lap so he could breastfeed while I had both hands free to type. ;)

    Afraid cynical me is still not certain that she's real, anyway. Sorry Juliette if you are!
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Juliette might be partly bot and partly real. A bot to collect the info and suggest answers that a human tweaks.

    /waves at juliette. Hi dear, we are not really talking about you. Just discussing possible AI approaches.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Or a lorry driver in Rotherham, sitting at his keyboard wearing boxers and a string vest.

    Too many possibilities. Need more data.

    Thanks.

    I'm ok. I know writing looks otherwise but I am ok. :). :)
    commiserations lir. when you need everything pulling in the right direction it is frustratingand upsetting to battle for basic standards to be met and finding the energy to complain can seem an effort too far. ((hugs))

    Oh lir, what a day. Terrible experience, not surprised they came round sharpish to collect, that's a serious no-no. Whether or not you have an unusual combination of meds is irrelevant. It should all be checked properly before it crosses the counter. Thank goodness you realised. And i'm pleased you now have an alternative.

    I am finally now back in the right time zone. Despite the best efforts of an impromptu strike by the Belgian police.
    Not been home since before the hol. Looking forward to being back in my own place :)

    Medication update...yes it is a manufacturers problem. But I have found a possible alternative drug and fir is going to ask pharmacist if I'm correct and if so ask them to ask GP if I can swap on to that one.


    Phew. I've done what I can at least. :)


    Edit:

    I just opened this months bag to check and they've been packaged all wrong in the blister packs anyway.

    In fact, I think but am not certain that if I took these as they have been packeted I'd be pretty bloody ill indeed before the end of the month, and might not get to leave hospital again. ( just checked drug website.....I'd be unlikely to make a week. )


    Seriously, how many pharmacy fails does one person have to have before they catch me out? I'm all for euthanasia,but not like this.


    ..this is not good at all.


    As I have read further down and see you did get it 'sorted' so to speak.......I am now reading that they 'forgot' your surgery *shocked*.


    I recall a nurse at Kings last year urging my step father to 'make a fuss' and not let her get discharged....as my mother was literally dying in front of us and she said , exact words
    'they will forget about you'.


    I know FIR will do whatever needs to be done here so I am confident you will get this all sorted.
