XTreme Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Early start today cos I had to be at the Health Centre at 8AM to have my blood taken. Then over to feed the horses, and back to the Health Centre by 9AM for an ECG. Those tests are now done so the next step is the Preparatory appointment in Baza Hospital on Thursday at 9AM. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your blood tests and ECG are an hour apart? That’d would trigger a complaint in the NHS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Pete. I had to have the blood tests and ECG before my operation earlier this year. The preparatory appointment was just with the anaesthetist to run through the results of the tests and ask a few more questions around dentures or crowns and checking what medication I was on and medical history of my immediate family. One thing that they didn't do here was take any swabs to check for MRSA, which they did in the UK when I had a general anaesthetic there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain sits between the UK and France for resistant staph with the US top of the charts. Although theres not a huge amount in it numbers wise. But I wouldn’t worry about it. Even if it caused you a problem they’re much better at recognising and treating it now, there are still antibiotics that work, they’re just the ones that fell out of favour for causing GI upsets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Decided that now I’m 50 I’d let my grey hair grow and embrace it. Well turns out I’m still only grey in a strip down the centre of my head. I look like I’d be a good fit for someone.. Edit- I’m 51 not 50, it’s ok to start forgetting that stuff now right? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife had a Mallen Streak from the age of 23, it slowly spread over her head, some of her hair now is grey, some is white, and some is honey blonde with a vèy small amount of black.....our daughter is going the same route too, much to her annoyance. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine started early 30's in the front......eventually I ended up looking like a skunk! So that's why I started colouring my hair in my 40's. The grey wouldn't have bothered me so much if it had grown throughout......but it was all going on the stripe. By my early 50's the rest of my head had mostly caught up so no more colourant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 We went through the rigmarole of buying TV and wall mounting bracket for the bedroom, it came with 4 wralplugs and 4 screws, and 4 screws that fitted it to the tv ......we have had it on twice in 3 years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
