    It's taking at least 2 working days for my doctors to send the presciptions luckily the pharmacy usually text me within the day.  The docotr's marvellous new system certainly takes longer than it used to though

    Your lurgy sounds truly horrible and debilitating - perhaps all the worse because your lungs were damaged already? DGD is recovering nicely thanks, we had some real little laughs from her on Tuesday. I think the antibiotics did the trick although it was a case of best guess as they didn't have a name for what she had, and no one seems to have caught it from her.

    I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight and are okay going to get your prescription tomorrow.

    Oh no OBL not the news you wanted to hear. Good idea to find out more before you tell your family as they’ll no doubt have lots of questions. I hope the hospital appointment comes through very soon so you have the facts and can start treatment. Sending hugs and positive vibes 🙏

    Sorry to read this. An awful way to find out and must be worrying and frightening for you. Hope you get a quick appointment to find out more, could GP help if respiratory clinic appointment comes through and is a wait?
