Thanks, both. Today has been much more straightforward, thank goodness.

Good. Take the weight off your feet and have a gorilla?

I’m not sure about that, does gorilla go with gin? I’ve just poured myself a large one, and my feet are now well and truly up.

I’m sorry it’s been that sort of a day, but AttaChatelaine on the 
front.

I will have to 'phone the Surgery tomorrow. I wrote 2 notes about 2 medications, & they have been ignored.
Sigh

Poor Twellsy! Bluddy teefs and their horrible behaviours… I am very sorry for you, indeed.
Glad that today has been easier for TFM and TFD. Gorillas all round! No, I have no clue, either.
Having battled for years to have my blasted BP medication (first prescribed almost thirty years ago) doled out 3 rather than 1 monthly, the sheer relief of knowing that I’ll not run out of stuff that I truly need is immense. And, yes, I push the limits and have emergency rations. Bad bee. But Pharmacist, not Doctor, has relieved my anxiety. KOKO, Carinthia.

The gorillas are a Goon Show reference.
“Have a gorilla?”
“No thanks, I’m trying to give them up.”
or
“Have a gorilla?”
“No thanks, I’ve just put one out.”

I used to get it every 2 months, Soo, but haven’t been able to since Covid. The only exception is HRT, which is issued quarterly.
I think that they feel that I take too many things to be trusted with an extra weeks worth, although I don’t over order for the sake of it.
If I were going away, they would supply more, but it might take me more than 1 attempt to get them!
Sigh

I understand the logic behind avoidance of over-prescribing, Carinthia, but it p***ed me off having to practically beg for meds that I needed to stay alive (no hyper-bollocks involved). Our Practice Pharmacist has relieved our hard-working GPs of another chore. Yay!
Time for bed. Best nights, Cellarites,

Gin, Darling. 
Honestly, I am the least of their problems. I am not greedy, & I buy my own Paracetamol…
I added 2 notes to the online request explaining why I needed the extras, & they haven’t Bluddy well read them.
One was about the Methotrexate, which is the Sunday night one, & I have some, but the other was about my Thyroxine, & I have had 2 tablets in 7 days.
I am cross.
Sigh.

Good luck, Twellsy, and have a hug in advance.
I’m very glad for you, Soo. Pharmacists are brill, in my experience.
Ah. Thanks for clearing that up.
Sympathies, I hope you get it sorted today.
Right, off to face another day. At least we no longer have to visit that hospital.

I am so lucky in my GP who knows that I am not asking for things for fun
A pone call and he emails the prescription to G and she has it ready to collect in short order

If you got that on prescription, Sparrer, it’s not Gin, it’s surgical spirit, and will need a touch of mixer.
