Diabetic retinopathy screening done, all fine. In fact they said that, as I've had no diabetic eye problems at all in the past 10 years, they'll now change me over to checks every 2 years instead of annually. Unless I notice any problems, in which case I just have to ring up. Also, unusually, my sight isn't as blurry as usual following the eye drops, which is good. We're so lucky to have this little community hospital nearby, it's less than 10 mins away in the car, free parking, and waiting times are negligible - I was in and out in no time, as was husband when he went for his eye screening a couple of weeks ago.
My flu jab tomorrow at the GP surgery (husband's one last Saturday was super-efficient and quick), then his nerve conduction tests on his feet at the big hospital on Friday - that won't be as quick, and the parking fees there are astronomical, so thank goodness we don't have to pay at the little local hospital, kind of balances it out a bit. Our covid jabs next week at the community hospital should also be quick, there was a steady stream of people in and out for them whilst I was there for the eye screening.
Been mostly sunny but windy so far today, although rain is forecast for this evening, along with a yellow warning for a thunderstorm....you wouldn't know it though with the sunshine and blue sky we have right now.
Had to pop into the supermarket for a couple of things after my eye screening - bad day and time to go (Mondays and Fridays are changeover days for the big Butlins), it was busy with loads of new tourists stocking up on snacks and booze before their check-in times. I'd forgotten about that, or we wouldn't have gone. The tourists bring a lot of business to the area, obviously, but they're all so blimmin noisy! The Friday arrivals are the worst, it's all hen and stag parties come for the weekend, they seem to start their partying and celebrations as soon as they arrive, before they've even booked in, and continue all weekend, the town is definitely a no go area at weekends. Ah well, I guess we were all young once! 😁
That's good news about your eye screening. We had our flu jabs on Saturday. Super efficient. In, name check, jab, out.
ReplyDeleteEven when I was young, I didn't like boozing and partying. And I certainly don't now! Still, each to his own. xx
Must be busy when they have the big darts tournaments there too.
ReplyDeleteNeed to organise my flu jab, I keep forgetting.
