Title: Let's go shopping in Chester!
Post by: Nick on March 27, 2008, 10:53:46 AM
Mrs Nick's idea.

We need ONE very specific item.

WHat is the betting that we come back without it but with about 14 other things that we did not even consider buying before setting off.

And it will take hours and hours and hours cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

 rubschin:  Thinking about it you are prolly right but from your house I still reckon it's easier to get to IKEA Warringtomn and get parked than it is to go to Chester where you will be struggling to carry all she will buy onto the Park n Ride.

Well I've been to the hostible, seen the ENT man .... there is nothing shown on the scan to suggest that there is any physical cause for the tinitus so he is blaming the heart medication. Whilst there I blagged my way into the path dept for a blood test (GP wants it done but the hosp usually don't like doing them for the GPs and send you back to the practice nurse, who is useless at it and I end up with an arm full of holes and an empty test tube) and here I am back again ...... bet Mrs Nick is still faffing!

I recall some years ago a Radio One Road Show visiting Chester and, as is their way, the DJ (nameless but with a regional accent) approached two giggling girls in the audience and, thrusting a microphone up their noses he asked "So, Heh Heh, what do you do for a good night out here in Chester?" With one voice they replied "Get on a trian and go to Liverpool".
Pleased me enormously  lol:

The other way round for me. We used to visit Chester a lot and sometimes stay overnight (i.e Dirty weekends away from the kids) when we lived in Liverpool.

We stayed overnight in Southport once. Fecking awful place.  noooo:

Well I've been to the hostible, seen the ENT man .... there is nothing shown on the scan to suggest that there is any physical cause for the tinitus so he is blaming the heart medication. Whilst there I blagged my way into the path dept for a blood test (GP wants it done but the hosp usually don't like doing them for the GPs and send you back to the practice nurse, who is useless at it and I end up with an arm full of holes and an empty test tube) and here I am back again ...... bet Mrs Nick is still faffing!

And now today I am back to the Hostable for a Cardiac Outpatient Appointment ... then on 7th April back again for a Diabetic Outpatient Clinic Appointment then on 29th May another Cardiac Outpatient visit to have the ICD downloaded. Why? NHS Why? ~ It's the same hospital, the same appointments clerk and the same fvcking department. Why cannot I just make a day of it once every three months?  Banghead

Or because they like you so much (must be the shiny coat, wet nose, and doleful eyes) they want to hvae you coming back to them 4 times a month instead of just the once  razz:

Well I'm back with a "recommended change of medication form" to take to my GP so that he can prescribe it. Bloody NHS ~ that's another morning wasted at the surgery ...... when I can get an appointment evil:

I just 'phoned the surgery ~ earliest pre-bookable is on 10th April .. but I can see the doctor on Monday, if I am lucky in the 0830 scramble for one of the 10 appointments available that day. If I am not successful then I must join the Tuesday 0830 lottery and so on.
This way "Nobody has to wait for an appointment to see their GP" Thanks Tony ~ you really pulled a fast one there!
