Anyhoo, doctor's in the house and the old bat coughs, she's got COPD FFS sometimes she coughs, doctor immediately says mother in law must have a Covid test - the Covid test was never on the agenda until she coughed. Did I mention that she has COPD and sometimes coughs.

Why she now needs a Covid test after nearly a year simply because she coughed once in front of a doctor is way beyond me. Maybe our resident expert medical troll could answer that, I won't know if he does however because I have him on ignore.

On another note I was watching ITV news there and I see that Captain Tom's in hospital with Covid. What do the NHS do? That's right, around twenty or so of them get together and do a get well soon Tik Tok video for him. How nice. Meantime if you have COPD don't expect the level of treatment that you got a year ago.
I promised Biffo I wudnae mention tik tok dancing nurses again........so am glad you did.🙂

I had physio over the phone last year.....just a landline call not video call......that was interesting.

After 5 mins

"So sunshine your ankle will now be bending to the left"

" no it's not moving"

" it must be"

" it's no honest"

Slight sigh then

"you either ain't doing it right.....or it's Tory austerity"😁

End of call.
