They are sending her for x-rays right now even though she brought her x-rays from Italy with her Very common to get sent for more X-rays. Usually it’s because there’s an angle missing that needs checking or that would change the type of surgery needed or increase/decrease the surgical skill level required for surgery. Mostly it’s just because the X-rays aren’t very clear, people are rubbish at keeping still when they’re in pain Good she’s being seen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Munter update......apparently she's going off it in Madrid! They can't find a place for Jake in any school.......so that's giving her an opening to put her plan into operation. Which is to drag them back into that Polish ghetto! I've spoken to the British Embassy (cos he's a dual national) but they've advised me that the school has no obligation to provide a place until the child is 6. So he's a year away from that. I'm pursuing other options as well.......need to know basis and all that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I’ve been in the cult of Apple for about 15 years and it’s great kit- so long as you stay within Apple world. The compatibility with non apple devices and the clunky functionality with some websites etc has finally got the better of me. So a windows laptop has been ordered. I will be able to route plan and transfer it easily to my Zumo and have a laptop for travelling with Really looking forward to seeing how it’s changed in the last 15+ years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real spike in deaths is due in 2025, the vaccine is a slow poison. You do know that a coronavirus is actually the common cold don't you and it's only the vaxxed getting ill and dying, it's in the vaxx. Watch this, he got a couple of dates wrong but the core of the matter remains valid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely isn't wasn't easier to use. But theres 7 users, about 16 devices and the thing apple do well is sync, makes work life a lot easier when everyones up to date within seconds without you having to send anything. I also can't fault their business service, they fix and replace things fast which is invaluable. Still I miss windows, looking forward to finally being able to run Garmin Express. Mac users have to use the old Basecamp software which is rubbish and while you do they send you pop up messages telling you it would be much faster and more detailed if you used Express maps which isn't available on Mac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say this but I bet it won't be that simple , my i-phone and my garmin Montana are sworn enemies if you try to get them to talk to each other directly. The best way for my application is to use Basecamp on my puter and transfer into the Montana from there. I have tried Garmin Connect , Garmin Drive and Garmin Explore but the i-phone says no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried Garmin Connect , Garmin Drive and Garmin Explore but the i-phone says no I don't think I was particularly clear. My iPhone and my Garmin work together well using Garmin Drive. I drop the coordinates from google into the Drive app and boom the Garmin is ready to go. But for longer route planning Garmin Express which the Zumo is geared up for doesn't work with Mac and I really don't like Basecamp, it's clunky, like using tech from over 10 years ago. To use Garmin Express I need a normal windows laptop so that's what's coming Garmin don't do well on the compatibility front, I'd go as far to say they're crap! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat staring blankly at the list of bluetooth devices and saw one called 'Pretty please work' I thought what's that then? Then it dawned on me the last time I tried to connect to the Mac out here was last September and it was so frustrating when it finally connected I renamed it 'pretty please work' That's Garmin's connectivity for you, at least they're consistent, consistently crap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
