Feel a bit better today, despite it being a work day. Decided yesterday would be a good occasion to go through all my old CDs and cassettes and ended up on a massive nostalgia trip listening to them, which I will carry on doing for weeks.

Little Miss Happy
Good to hear Hunkyteddy. EP - you could call her GP and ask them to refer her to the RVS regular check in and chat. Your mum might be more open to it if 'the doctor said'? |

So the chap who called mum was the pharmacist not a gp He said by age she was their group 5 but her heart makes her group 4 vulnerable She said she hadn’t been feeling good She hasn’t had a blood test for her thyroid tablets since nov 2019.. he said she needed one and that they would do full spectrum test. She said she wouldn’t go to the surgery until after her first vaccine She’s also in recent weeks declined her routine mammogram Her heart consultant put her in 6 month reviews last feb but she’s not spoken to them since or chased I worry that she is so worried about meeting people that her health will deteriorate without intervention |

Too Much Water
My mum is in wave 3 due to having cancer - I am not really sure how severe it is other than "very". I don't think it will make much difference to her life as she is terminally ill and at risk of other infections too. She is 68, and my dad 69, not sure when he gets it but in practice it will make little difference to his life either.

My father in law had covid and quite poorly in November he’s since made a full recovery. He had his covid vaccine on Saturday a d today he’s back in bed feeling hot and cold and a bit flu’y. Is this likely to be a result of the vaccine? |

Having a really rubbish time at work I don’t know if it’s to do with lack of human interaction, sadness at life, or just the frustration at the idiots I have to work with - either way my tolerance is at an all time low. I could easily switch off and sit in a darkened room. We lost our line manage Dec 2019, my colleague was gifted her job as well as her own and it’s too much. Things have fallen through the cracks and are growing like weeks do & I’m now drafted in to sort it. Some are technically my area but my now line manager is not feeding me the information but probably as she isn’t picking it up. I’m sure in a normal world we’d have identified issues that are now been missed. Deep breaths and coffee. |
