    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Absolutely ing furious! As if coming off morphine wasnt tough enough! Asked for a triage call from my GP this morning as I’d been told to check in every couple of weeks to update them on how I was doing. It wasn’t my GP who called me back and, when I explained what I was doing and then, sensibly I thought, asked for a prescription at the same time (as I’m only getting them every fortnight atm), told me off for ‘wasting his time asking for repeats over the phone’! I was mortified

    Rightly so. What a horrible way to talk to someone. Even worse when you are doing the exact thing they wanted you to do. Is this something you could bring up with your GP?

    I would be ringing back and speaking to the practice manager, he has no right to speak to you like that

    I was going to but then realised it’s much better for me not to hold on to my anger. I just will make sure I don’t talk to him next time

    What a horrible thing for you to have to go through! Not exactly making things easier for you then? Git! What did Si say when you told him?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Si got a call at 4pm to say they weren’t coming as they’d had too many emergencies. They tried to make an appointment for next week so he kicked up a fuss and said we were supposed to be a priority - and they’re coming tomorrow. I realised this afternoon that having the dusty electric fire on (we never use it) is playing my asthma up.

    Still, we went out (in town, 2 for 1 cocktails!) for a meal with the girls and the boyfriend. Katie and Dom paid - we’re loving having grown up kids who pay for us . Katie’s coming on Sunday to get the rest of her stuff and her chest of drawers.
