Thanks everyone. You kind thoughts and comments are really appreciated.

People at Kings were fab.

Lady who helped picked me up and all stuff billowing everywhere was especially fab.


Right ankle 5 or 6 double stiches (I was too wimpy to watch) are killing me despite the nurofen. I hadnt appreciated how painful it would be until the adrenalin reduced and local anesthetic subsided. Apparently I was very lucky with tendons and artery.


Hobbling to work I REALLY have a sense for how useful dropped kerbs and accessible public transport are.


So you'll all be glad to hear I wont be knocking on your door for a week or so. But I will be phoning people to see what's bothering them.

Paracetamol is good and you can take in between doses of ibruprofen .


Don't only take pain killers when you can't bear it any longer ,take them regularly .


If it's really bad and stopping you sleeping ,phone your GP for and discuss stronger pain killers .

And take prunes with them if something stronger prescribed as so many are very constipating .


Edit - gosh I sound bossy and a right know it all .Sorry ,but it's horrid to be in pain and so many of us soldier on when sometimes I think it could be fairly easily better controlled .


wishing you pain free soon .

Those are the ones they only allow you to use for 3 days :)


King's gave me Tramadol to take home after an Op - was very good.

xxxxxxx


You can buy paracetamol and codeine over the counter at any pharmacy, so I doubt there's a three day limit on taking it (though from memory there's a warning on the packet that codeine can be addictive).


There is a stronger version which you can only get on prescription.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
