Hope it goes well Rian.
Some kool pics too. Nursey boy???? What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.  |
Quick update on my eyeball issue.
More importantly to just say publicly that Maidstone hospital and its A&E staff certainly delivered when I was there yesterday.
From the admin staff clocking me in and then the Clinical Nurse Specialists who do the triage and prework before a doctor sees you.
Keeping in mind I work in healthcare and am a multi-qualified nurse myself (part of a previous life) so it is easy for me to assess situations and performance in departments.
Once the doctor called me in he had a quick background check and then pulled in an impressive machine, inspecting and then removing the foreign body efficiently. No pain, no blood, no drama.
Antibiotic ointment to use for a few days added and discharged.
Due to their efficient and focussed approach, the offered waiting time was 4 hours.
However.......
I was out the car park in under two hours after arriving at the hospital.
So the NHS is working.
And my experience was positive.
Nothing happened in Thailand.
But if it did.......
Fortunately, I am very patient.

Thank you John.
They did.
Cut up, sorted and packed away all the wood Dave the lodger brought, this morning.
It was a great winters day outside.
Took a lot up to the firewood box at the house and some into the house.
Keeping in mind that the pallet pine burns mostly fast and reasonably hot.
A lot really is just there as kindling and to support the lumpy logs etc in burning.
And of course the old man Dukey loves the heat and company as his hips are so knackered and movement restricted to some extent.
He is very happy and settled.
