    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.

    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.

    Oh SA - so sorry to hear this - he’s so blessed to have you - and you deserve a sainthood.   

    on the same token so glad that Mr SA has you on his side to fight for what Is right from the gp surgery. And to get him the medical attention he needs to get this sorted.  

    Heart goes out to you both xx

    Oh no! what a horrendous end to the day. I hope he's okay now, but that's really tough.

    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.

    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.

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