What small thing would help you right now?

Not to have anymore mad dashes to A&E and end up in hospital for a week. The pain in my tummy to due to an injection to heal so I can sleep on my right side and to stop worrying my daughter.

Not that I need one atm, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to get easy access to a doctor?

I’m in rude good health, but it really worries me how I can access “proper” (from a real doctor) medical help when I will inevitably need it. My doctor is less accessible than the King!

I always told my mum to stop worrying, it gets you nowhere. And here I am, worrying about everything, regular bouts of palpitations that I’m sure I bring on through acute anxiety. Where did that come day go day girl go. 🙈

A modicum of willpower might help me to get on with a certain dreaded task, instead of sitting here browsing GN and MN.

🤞 firmly crossed for you maddyone.

Good news for me regarding the phone call I made to P*****t our internet/broadband supplier. We now pay LESS than we have done this past 18 months! I quoted T&C of a rival supplier (even though we really didn’t intend to change to them, terrible reviews) and they matched it … for the next two years too! Result!

My scheduled surgery to happen on 03/02/25 and to not be postponed again. And for it to work and relieve me of the constant pain I’m in.

For my orthopaedic surgeon to bring forward my shoulder replacement date. I’m in such pain! Seeing him in three weeks. I know there are plenty of people who are much worse than me and I should count my blessings, but ongoing pain is hard to deal with all day, every day.

A warm mug of tea I don't need to make myself. Tea is such a balm in these difficult times!

Some antibiotics

To know how to transform a file onto a disc! Although I realise this is an old-fashioned way

Hope you got it sorted FGT.I would like to listen to news and not hear about young people getting murdered by other young people it's not a nice world 🌎is it.

Thank you HPQ (and others).
Renewing our internet contract by phone in a bit and hoping for a better quote than what came up automatically via my email. I hate doing this sort of thing it always gets me churned up for some daft reason! Wish me luck….

Having failed to get a response from my surgery
or 111, or my online NHS account it would be so nice if someone somewhere would just tell me what to do. I've been ill for a month, thinking I've got flu or Covid ) though I had the jabs in November). I phoned and cancelled an appointment for a liver scan, explaining that I thought I would bring more germs into the hospital. That was a couple of weeks ago. I've now got another appointment for next week, with the sting in it's tail saying that I will be taken off the list if i cancel more than twice.
But I've recently had a conversation with a friend , and without going into the complicated details,she has convinced me that I have RSV- a respiratory ailment for which she was offered a vaccination ) . When I described my symptoms she immediately said that these were the symptoms of RSV. Since then I've done some googling and am sure she's right.
So I feel that I should cancel this next scan appointment as RSV is contagious, but would like the reason for doing so to go on my records.
I phoned my surgery - it is literally not answering - you just get cut off. I filled in a huge load of answers to Questions on 111, and at the end got a sentence saying that I wasn't ill enough to need treatment, which wasn't what I was asking! I give up!

It says on-line that RSV is contagious for 3-8 days so I assume you should be safe by next week

To be free of post shingles neuralgia pain in my back, the prescribed pain relief doesn't always work well, the GP appointment I had booked for earlier this week was cancelled by the surgery, thank goodness I have one for next week.
Also, as others have said, to stop worrying about the future and be more in the present, however, roll on the Spring, my favourite season

I need someone to come here, go to what was once DH"s garden office and go through the boxes of stuff I brought here when my Mum died. That was 6 years ago. Said person needs to know exactly what I want to keep, deal sensitively with the rest. Every autumn I say that is a job for the winter.

Nice thread FGT, what do you wish for today?

Ooh yes Primrose, a week in the sun with no worries, my own bedroom, and the ability to beam up to get there and back. Just perfect.

To get a better social life, but dont know where to begin, ive just retired

A nice cake would do the trick.😙

Just a little bit more motivation would make life much better for me.

I’m not sure it’s a small thing but I would like to go to my brothers funeral. He died on 27th December.
He and my Sister in Law have opted for ‘Pure Cremation. Their choice and I respect that.
They say that funerals are for those left behind and I now see what they mean. I ‘m finding it difficult not having a particular day to feel he has been said goodbye to.
I probably haven’t explained that very well .

That's sad ginny. What happened to his ashes? Were they buried? Scattered? Lots of people us this as a sort of memorial to say goodbye.

Have your own special day when you think about your brother and say goodbye. Go somewhere special to you both. Have a drink with him, tell him you love him and miss him. Maybe Sister-in-law will join you.
