I went to the Doctor yesterday with a bad shoulder. I’ve had it for about a year – in fact, since I fell off my bike last year – but it has got progressively worse and is affecting my movement. I went armed with a fully charged Kindle expecting a wait -and walked almost straight in. It got a tad confusing, as some changes in July and September have resulted in requirements for new registration numbers that we don’t have. We went through the whole rigmarole again of trying to find our names on their system. This is always a problem as we have one surname, yet Spanish people have two. So they often put one of our first names down as a surname. However we never know in what order they have put them, so we can be entered on the system with any combination of our names as our surnames.
I have anti inflammatory for my shoulder and have to go back in a couple of weeks if it hasn’t got better.
I also asked for a revision meeting for my ankle, however the doctor said that current thinking was to leave plates and screws in. He said that the risk of taking the screws and plates out could be greater than the risk of osteoporosis. All this was fine for me and I am happy that I asked the question!
Ian has spent the last week working on an update for FreeNeedle. We are taking advantage of our out-of-favour status with Google to revamp the site. Something we’re quite nervous to do when it is performing well – so now’s the time to do it. It looks pretty good and Ian is working really hard on getting it ready for next week.
