That’s terrible. I hope you showed them the text 😡 Will he listen to the surgery if they suggest lifestyle changes….I’m guessing not.
Hope you get through the e mails. Ido wander if some folk send emails for the sake of it because it’s so easy…..and they wouldn’t bother if it was snail mail.January spends - £587.583 -
I’m going to go with him on Tuesday and make sure the nurse sees the text from the surgery. I have another reason to go with him now as he’s just had the most horrendous accident in the bedroom and bathroom. I’ve just spent the past half hour cleaning it up and changing all the bedding including the duvet itself 🤢 This isn’t normal and needs looking into.@milann he’s the type of person who would rather take a tablet for something rather than change his lifestyle.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Edit to add - just seen your subsequent post, I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with that - as you say, definitely needs investigation.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I am so sorry to hear about the GP surgery . If they make mistake they could at least own up to it and apologise. I ddont know how you cope with Mr SAs accidents. As you say it isnt normal and the GPs need to do somthing to see whats causing it.

That’s week one back at work done, all 2.5 days of it 😆
Finished early today to pick up the dog and cats flea/worm treatment from the vets. Had to catch a bus there as it’s quite a distance from work. You can tell I don’t catch buses often as I made my way to the bus stop at the other side of the city centre only to find it stopped en route a stone’s throw away from work 🤣 Oh well I’ll know next time. Walked back home from the vets so on 21,000 steps today.Not a NSD but only spent £3, £1 on the coffee and cookie deal at work and £2 on the bus fare.
Tonight’s dinner is harissa prawn orzo.Hopefully Mr SA won’t have a repeat of last night. I think the most part of it was the stress he had yesterday worrying about the test results and then the alleged missed appointment. I do wonder if he has IBS, his sister suffers with it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Sorry you had to cope with MrSA's accident. Could be IBS, but could also be Colitis. My DH suffers with that. Hope you have a better weekend.Making the debt go down and savings go up

Perhaps something to talk about with the GP when you get chance. It could be IBS if it runs in the family.
