How Was Your Day? VII

[Dazzle]

Can anyone advice at pet insurance for a cat. I just been looking it up and it's very confusing. I will have my cat saturday

I've never had pet insurance so am unable to help sorry. Let us know how it goes with your new cat.

All I did was stumble through the front door... think I can manage the cab trip to a and e tomorrow, I bottled it on Tuesday re agoraphobia but seeing as my new surgery's triage nurse didnt even bother calling me back last night I have no other route for help. Wow Im a drama king

I once tore a ligament in my knee (which was agonising and took months to heal) by bending awkwardly, so I'd imagine it's possible to do some serious damage by stumbling. I hope you manage to get something sorted today! You'll have to call a doctor out if necessary.

As everyone has said Splashy, good advice to get your leg checked out, leg injuries can subsequently cause back problems if left untreated.

Ring 111 and they should send someone after you tell them about difficulty getting out. I do not know where you are but we have a scheme near me where a paramedic comes round on his her own and decides if you need to go hospital or not. I used it recently for my son who was too ill for me to take to doctors or A and E.

Would love it if you were to post a picture on the Pets thread

Thank you all for your kind comments.

I did dial 111 initially and the on call doctor called me back, he was obviously in his kitchen having tea, I could hear his wife clinking around behind him.. he told me to go to hospital.. couldn't do it like I said even after dialling 999 and explaining my situation to the paramedic in charge of ambulances, anxiety won out over pain.

Landlady and I are due to have lunch with the progenitors today along with niece, not sure if Im going to hospital first or after the meal depends on how much pain im in.

Wow I really am milking this, I watch the news and know how lucky I really am.

Oh swmc66 you must find a way of showing us a picture of your new cat.

Additional .. had to email Kevin at the isle of widget hotel to say I wasn't coming and thus unable to attend the party I wasn't invited to there, but to not to get too upset as I will get there later on this year when I've acquired a new leg.

I am disapointed that the service did not respond. GP have home visits in their contracts ...have you tried to get a GP home visit?
If that did not work you could raise it as a complaint with your local Clinical Commissioning Group as they cover primary care contracts now. You could also tell them about 111 not responding to difficulties in you going out. One of my jobs is with a clinical commissioning group and we deal with 111 service , GPs and hospital services. People do not know they can complain to us about NHS services and we can chase up the providers of services. I will get advice on this for you.
As for a cat picture. I have never uploaded an image on here and would not know how to do it. I will try later . It's black and white , 8 months female and it's wonderful . So good natured and fully trained thank goodness. They gave us the friendliest one as my daughter has depression and the cat is really for her.

Hey swmc66 .. I screwed up today, I did the lunch thing using lots of pain killers and alcohol to get me through it and missed the chance to be dropped off at casualty. In truth I was hoping I was getting better, but the agony in my leg has proved that not to be the case. Will go to a and e Sunday, im beginning to suspect I have actually broken something in the leg. I dont think a doctor visit would of helped and they just that day had given me the all clear re other stuff.

Anyway today was good, I got to meet my niece who I haven't seen since she was knee high to a grass hopper, shes now a talented hulla hoop performance artist. her new act involves a cross bow. You couldnt make this stuff up, she actually did attend a circus school and is making good money out of it. it was brilliant to meet her today.

swmc66, forget the picture Im just happy you now have said feline.

Oh Kevin from the isle of widget Hotel I was supposed to be in tonight emailed me to tell me that the party was missing me and that I should contact him directly next time I plan to come to his hotel, the guy gets my sense of humour.

[swmc66]

Glad you had a good day with your niece. I hope you get to A and E today.

[Splashy]

Hours in A and E an xray later. Im still in pain but hey ho nowt broken it seems, But wow the receptionist was some scary unhelpful entity! It was almost like she had been bred to be the worst receptionist she could be, as for the triage nurse, she looked at me like I was a monster turning down her cure all fix paracetamol! The drug alaways makes me chunder, prolifically.

Land lady is dragging around a huge black cloud over her head, I cant get a read on the situ so am cowering in my room .

A and E is weird thou, some seem to live there and dont get me started on the kids that insist on knocking into your bad leg ever chance they get. But I have to say what with Brixeit , where are we going to get the doctors and nurses to run the hospitals.. curse you Farage, I pray we send your Polish wide home or at least stop her being paid to be your PA you hypocrite.
