Today, I had another blood test. Because the doctors want to increase my intake of Ramipril, from.1.5 mg per day to 20 mg per day over the next month.
I have the blood test. Results come back on Friday. And the staff ignore it, because it will show my kidney function as fine.
Then I'll spend 30 mins on hold to try and persuade the receptionist that I need a doctor to phone me, and discuss the next step up.
So I thought I'd say "can you make me a telephone appointment on Monday, so that I can be prescribed the higher dose as soon as possible"
No you have to ring up and go on hold. Last time, I was 23rd in the queue.
Why? Why? Why?
Am I too stupid to understand why they can't make an appointment in advance?
Eventually they agreed. 2 weeks after the test results come in. Some time after 12 noon and before midnight.
Then I've been packing. Done 4 loads of washing. Most of it now dry.
Start new job on Thursday. 1 day in office, in Hinckley, 2 half days from home.

I haven't worn "work" clothes since March. I've lost 2.5 stone. My suit is too big. I found some trousers from the early 90s which now fit again. I may add weird fish jumper and go casual.
