So SM has been enforcing social distancing for years!

Only joking SM!

In fairness I was like this before I had to be like this!

I'll let it slide BP

MrsBP has more Zapain coming on prescription later this afternoon.

So I had to go to boots for Solphadine Max. Its a small branch - only one persopn allowed in. Screens at counter like in a bank. Staff in full PPE.

Freecell score on a damp Monday morning: 100%, running average 83%.

Lost games count: 3010.

Sun's out intermittently.

Rains intermittently.

Wind is rising.

Sky still white.

Left the fridge door slightly ajar overnight which hasn't helped the comestibles a lot.

Now has thermostat wound up to max which normally means the yogurts freeze.

Solpadeine Max is my painkiller of choice.

Best wishes to Mrs BP. Pain is not fun.

The house is well stocked with Naproxen, Tramadol and even some liquid morphine hanging around that might still be in date.

Normal pain killers aren't effective for MrsMac, which is fun for the very rare occasions I need some pain killers and end up tripped out of my head

My Dad has liquid morphine that was prescribed for my Nan but never got used. He tried to properly dispose of it but no-one would take it.

Absolutely nuts that it's not possible to properly dispose of prescription drugs.

I know it's a bug bare of the NHS as well, the amount of prescription drugs that goes unused, but then again when all this kicked off we stocked up on insulin for Cost Centre #3, but at least we had the sense to pause his repeat prescription at the same time

I have the same. Pain killers have little effect on me. Tramadol is my preferred pain killer - most other have little effect.

It also means cannabis and cocaine have no effect on me. Very disappointing....

Allegedly your local pharmacy should be able to help.

It does seem odd how the NHS fail to recover medicines and medical devices when someone passes away. My FIL had a number of items (wheelchair, crutches, bed etc.) the NHS didn't seem to want back. You would of thought arranging a man in a van to pop round up to a fortnight after passing would save a fortune and they could collect the surplus drugs. Instead MIL was chasing them in her grief.

The local pharmacy refused to take them, called the GP for advice they said go to your pharmacy! Even the hospice where she died wasn't interested.

I have heard how equipment that can so easily be cleaned for reuse is never collected (or their return encouraged) followed by complaints about shortages because they're not returned
