What a stressful bleeding day.
I had to go for my flu/covid jabs today and as usual, I got a text reminder, which is crap, all they says is a a local shopping centre, but nothing about where in the shopping centre, so I went where they did it last time but that is now a shop, Luckily Liz was with me so she went into Boots to find out, she got the one who knew F all and directed her to where they do it in Boots, she realised she'd got the dummy and asked someone else and of course it was at the far side, normally I struggle walking far anyway but I managed to twist my knee a few days ago and it is really buggering things up for me.
So I get there and let them know who I am, eventually, I get into the cubicle and there is only one seat, it seems the jabber and the jabee should both be seated, (Liz looked it up as she has had trouble in bothe arms since her last jab) anyway I asked, and she was puzzled. So I said okay I'll stand up for the jabs, 60 year olds don't do petulant vary well but she made the effort.
This not giving patients the info they need makes my blood boil so once home I rang the docs to speak to the practice manager, it seems you have to do it online, so I filled in this crappy form for Modality the outfit they all work for and I didn't hold back.
So, I looked in my diary for my next apps and it seems 15th of November is going to be a busy day.
I have
ENT @ 09:20
Degaralix jab @ 15:00
& I start my radiotherapy on the 7th so would be in Leeds for at least one of them, so I rang the cancer number and again was told that the mailbox was full and it hung up, so I rang the main number and got put through to the radiotherapy reception and between myself and actually helpful lady sorted it all out.
Do the ENT, then go to Leeds for 11:35 and Liz can do the Degralix jab at home, I may leave that till the weekend though.
That sounds like a rant I suppose, but not a patch as on my complaint form. I just hate being messed about by those in the "care" profession"
