vv poorly

Too bad you didn't have copies of the reports, it could speed things up.

I asked for copies before I left the country but was continually told that they'd be sent to the GP. It could take a while too as their health service is just as chaotic on the lower levels. they do have the finest doctors but the rest seem to be in chasis.
Yesterday the community physio manager came out and said that they had no physiotherapist in the community who could actually work on me, all they could do was set a programe and moniter me.
My area health board is the second biggest in Ireland and they dont have a bench set up to work on the people who need the intense physio!!!
Oh, if I want even that physio I have to 'buy into a package' to attend a day centre for disabled persons and have their manager come out to my home, for what I do not know. I told the physio yesterday that was an infringement of my rights of privacy to have someone come to my home for absolutely nothing.

Yeh, Ginny, I think I have jet lag!!!! from a 40min flite!
I just didnt know what I was coming home to and before I left I was getting niggling pains in my right lower back, kidney area and also in my neck. The neck flared almost immediately and it is still bothersome and my ears are also painful.
I do have gum disease from the sjogrens and I never had good teeth but they are all loose now and a front one comes out next week and they will only give me a denture for the one and I know I will be distress by that. They wont give me an implant. Too costly.
But one dentist secretary says that they wouldnt anyway cos of the sjogrens, but I thought shoggies shouldnt be given dentures cos of the threat of ulcers due to dry mouth.
I am a bit low at the slowness of starting meds and also the GP now writing immediately to a rheumy to see if they would take me on.
I rang today to ask for bloods tomorrow and she asked Why? I had come a cropper and wanted to see if some of the bloods were up.
She was very reluctant to do em.
My glands are sore, I stopped the antibiotics after a day, I couldnt tolerate em.
She is giving me a milder one tomorrow.
I find the exhaustion extraordinary.
By late morning I cannot keep my eyes open and dont want to do anything but sleep, I just cannot understand it really and have a lot to adjust to, but ~I so much want to do the old photography big time.
Your pics Ginny are just so fab and so inventive and important to the people you shoot, (metaphorically)!
