Good Morning Everyone,
Dark and cold outside here in brackley but dry .
My trip to the JR in Oxford , has seen changes as to what happens next , because I am anemic , they want my blood to build up before any surgery can take place.
So no operation on Monday , I will instead see the Anie statist and do blood checks maybe more iron infusion .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from a damp Oxfordshire, disappointing news Mick I suspect you will need a stronger dose of Iron than diet will provide.
MissOops is doing well, unlike last time when she had all sorts of problems resulting in visits to A&E. Fingers crossed all continues to go as planned.
So sorry that so many GNs are going through bad times.
Hugs and ?to you all.

Good morning from a fine, sunny Algarve. Best time of year, as long as it’s not raining.

I’m glad your daughter is doing well Oops and I can’t say that without crossing my fingers too.?

Grandmadinosaur, my DH had something a bit similar happen to him many years ago. It was very nasty and really shook his confidence in himself. It was probably the start of the long story that had us eventually moving to Portugal. Best wishes to you both, I know it’s difficult. flowers

I've taken a walk to our big Tesco and joined a short queue for a Covid booster...no need to faff with appointments now. Nobody is wearing mask. I did wear one when I got an x-ray on Wednesday (which was inconclusive) but there was no enforcement.

Too late......again, here in a damp N.,Cambs.,

Build your strength up in readiness for your surgery, Mick.

Take care all, especially those with ill health & worries.

I saw this heading, and I hope you don't mind my joining you.
Good day to all the Grans out there.
Here, in SW France it's pretty chilly for the time of year, and was pouring this morning. I came here for the weather, but it's a rip off. Although I stayed, as it was over 40 years ago, the weather in winter can be horrible. Also with a drop of rain here everything stops!
I have a tummy bug, so I won't hang around, except to wish you a good end of the working week, for those who still do, and a lovely week end.
By the way, when I was pregnant the doctor told me to take Vit E to stave off anaemia. They are quite cheap in gellule and worked for me.
