        No worries. Hope they manage to sort out your blood pressure - I'm having mine checked again on Thursday.
        Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

          Children don't count as witnesses, IIRC from the 50k dispute

            But he doesn't want to treat the blood pressure until he knows what it's like - the hospital didn't record any of the readings they took when I was in last week (or didn't send them to him) so he only has yesterdays to go on.

            Back to the nurse tomorrow morning, then back to the doctor again on Friday morning, and I think he's going to put me on betablockers to help the blood pressure, migraines and dizziness (there was an interesting article in the Grauniad last week about migraine induced dizziness) in one go. He just doesn't want to do it yet until he's got some more accurate BP readings before treatment to know how it's going.
            Oh dear

            Hope they get you sorted out soon - have a manly

              Hoping to get to the pub tonight to drink away my frustrations.

              Apart from OfficeIdiot and ClientCo, I have just had my dad on the phone having a bash at me because I chucked away a shelving unit my brother made 10 years ago at school (it was well made!); which I have had in my house for 7 years and I chucked as part of the move into Mrs HC. Annoying thing is that my brother would never have mentioned it if it weren't for Dad going and telling him. FFS won't people just but the flip out!!!!
              Ah - families are a joy sometimes...

              I can remember my dad and granddad falling out a LONG time ago because my dad joking said in passing "oh, you can choose your friends, but not your family". Well, that was it - "if you don't want to see us, then that's fine; I'll update my will and remove you and the children from it; we'll never see the grandchildren again if that's the way you feel....."

                  I'm hoping so too - it's inconvenient, but treatable. I don't need to have it checked regularly (until now!) so I've no concept of what it has been and what it should be. MrsF gets hers checked every six weeks or so, so it's always monitored, whereas I have no idea about how long it's been going up for.

                  As long as something gets rid of the dizziness at the moment - I can't walk in a straight line at the moment, and if I stand up, I sway from side to side because my balance is off still. Just like being drunk, but cheaper, and a lot less fun.

                    I dare not get mine taken! Especially during a day at ClientCo with OfficeIdiot.

                    Aren't they just - the best bit is my little brother would never have remembered about it apart from my dad telling him, he hasn't mentioned it in 7 years so probably didn't even realise I had it still. Nag dammit.

                    Anyway have tea now. Some Plan B then some Plan Pub!!

                      Sounds like a good couple of plans to me! My plan B has taken a setback this past couple of weeks with being ill - now I'm getting emails asking "are you still interested in this?" which I need to reply to to explain where I've been.
