So much for asking my GP to fast track my next KNEE DOCTOR appt… thought I’d ask her about a couple of things while I was there with Peter today acting as translator. But turns out I will have to make my own appointment to get any info about my stuff. Which I guess is fair enough as I know they aren’t given much time with each patient… but this was just to ask her to check the knee thing. Anyhow, she told me I could ask downstairs at the reception desk, which I did and at least got a copy of the appt request by the last traumatologist. It will be with an orthopaedic surgeon! They didn’t actually tell me that, or give me a copy of the request. Anyhow, it says it’s a “normal” request (not “urgent”). And so I have dutifully made a phone appointment with my GP (earliest available Nov 19th) to ask her about a couple of other things and to also ask her if she can change the surgeon appt to urgent. Meanwhile, while at the reception desk I asked if it was possible to get a shingles jab and she said, yeah sure. So Peter and I will get vaccinated for that next week. And then on the way home I saw this beautiful blue, so not an entirely wasted morning.
