    That sounds beyond shitty Elbow.
    Best of luck and best wishes for Mrs Elbow.

    Cheers Bally. Kids are both asleep now, so just trying to keep calm and occupied!

    So today has been a shitty day. Wife's symptoms took a turn for the worse, with now having blurred vision in one eye and she's back at hospital. Latest theory is she had a minor stroke 5 weeks ago when this all kicked off. This could possibly have been picked up at the time when she had a CT scan, but they didn't do it properly with contrast (waste of everyone's time and NHS money to have done it without). Now waiting for an MRI scan.

    Apparently A&E are only allowed to ask for two MRIs per day, no matter what turns up at their door.

    I'm not allowed to be there and anyway need to be at home as two year old has a high temperature and feeling poorly. She also cant currently have our 10 week old with her.

    Elbow. Sorry to hear that. Best of luck with the kids. Hope Mrs Elbow is OK. Sounds awful. Don't know what else to say, other than I hope things turn out well.

    Finally got an invite for a Covid jab, either that or it's some scam to get my email address although they seem to know where I live and my GP's details so email is the last of my worries.
    Times all in UTC+0 apparently. Not sure if that's just a censored up - will ask later as I'm going there anyway for something else.

    If the link is to some website called accurx.thirdparty.nhs.uk then its probably kosher.
    Nah the link goes to an office 365 calendar with a booking form.

    Local booking system for local people :smile:

    Hope they manage to figure it out elbow. At least they seem to be taking it more seriously this time.

    Hopefully, a proper diagnosis will now herald some improvement.

    Unlike that sap SG who had us all concerned, for nothing. I'l have him. He owes us.

    FFS. Just got off the phone with the wife, she's still sitting in a chair in A&E waiting to be admitted. She's been there since 13.30

    Still waiting for the MRI which will be tomorrow now. Another doctor has suggested it could be MS. They clearly don't really have a clue either.

    :disappointed:
    You'd think they'd send her home and give her an appointment for tomorrow for the scan and any other tests.
