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.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Not sure what to say about this 😟I got the results of my CT scan today and it says I have Pulmonary Fibrosis and Traction Bronchiectasis 😟 Pulmonary Fibrosis is a life limiting lung disease which causes the lungs to stiffen with scar tissue over time until eventually they stop working. I have had no contact from any medical people yet but this came up on the MYCARE app today for me to see. I am waiting for a referral to a respiratory team at the hospital to find out what stage it’s at. I’m so worried about it 😟I haven’t told my daughters yet because I want to find out the details first. I thought my worst nightmare was getting PMR turns out I was wrong.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1205

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 🙏I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
