Gus dear removing the staples is a job for a skilled well trained nurse
I donât think you and a knitting needle would work painlesslyâŚ

Somehow I am dubious of Gus doing a delicate job on the staples
I feel she would be a trifle enthusiastic about getting them out
I have a picture of a Gus with a boot on the Fishly bonce and a crow bar at the staples

Oh FFS! That is not on.
My experience of having stitches removed by medical professionals has been far from painless, which is why I have resorted to doing the job myself - painlessly - before now. I would draw the line at staples though.

I have had staples yanked out by a quack or delicately numbed with local anesthetic gel and gently removed by a nurse
I prefer the nurse option

So do I. Come Thursday I shall try to arrange to have the things removed on Friday at the local hospital by a nurse, pointing out the sleep problem and the instructions from the bloke who inserted the things. Oh, and mentioning that because of the county-wide NHS computer malfunction my GPâs surgery take about 70 minutes to answer the phone, keeping you on hold until they arbitrarily cut you off just as you get from âYou are seventh in the queueâ down to âyou are first in the queueâ so that you have to start again. Which is an expensive hobby, now that my cellphone with the bundle package has decided to die in mid-try so that I have to use the landline. Gah. This just doesnât seem to be my week!

I have just been on hold to the Surgery for 39 minutes, & I started at no 11 in the queue.
An GP called me this afternoon, & we discussed my âborderlineâ blood test results for 15 minutes before deciding that we need more tests for the inflammation markers. He is concerned about the falls, as am I, & urine will be tested, & BP monitored for a week before we investigate further.
I have ordered an BP cuff from the Pharmacy across the road, & collect it on Thursday when I go for the blood test.
The medication can affect the kidneys, as well as the heart, liver & lungs, & as I have 3, I donât want any trouble with them.
