I need a hug

So sad for you. Big loves on their way to you! xxx

Often. Big 20 second hug Downtoearth

Sending you a really big hug. Sometimes a hug is what we need. My old dog puts up with me hugging him but I am sure he would far rather I didn't! He had no choice in the matter as I felt really in need of a hug today - missing my brother, husband and Dad who all died in past five years (husband and brother both only in their fifties and sudden deaths), rarely see my son as he is working long hours and work just wasn't fun (it usually cheers me up).

Just checked on line and local surgery has a 3 week wait for a tel. apt and almost 4 weeks for a face to face. All aps seem to be with a group of trainee docs/locums /whatever who seem to have placements at the surgery and this group changes regularly. If I wanted to see a female GP who is actually permanently at the surgery (although now only part time )then the next face to face apt is in 5 weeks time. Seems all the 'trainees' are being used to take most of the apts.
