I saw a private physiotherapist today, thanks to my work occupational health provider. He was really helpful and knowledgeable, but he also confirmed that the problems I have with my neck are really serious. I’ve been having related visual problems for years and he said that was a big re flag and I should go back to my doctor immediately and report it. The thing is, I’ve told doctors this before and they just shrug. I might see a private specialist I but I don’t want to blow thousands on diagnostics only to be told surgery is just too risky.
The most the physio can do is work on my shoulders and posture because my neck is apparently completely off limits due to the risks. Still, it should be a help.
On a related note, I had quite a few memory lapses today. I couldn’t remember going to Sheffield recently and took some convincing I actually had. Even now, I remember anlmost nothing. I then dialled into a meeting that I’d forgot had been cancelled just an hour earlier. I followed this by chasing progress on something I’d already been given the green light on a fortnight ago. Then I the spent an hour searching for a piece of work I’d done just over a week ago. I could remember so little about it, I didn’t know what to look for or where. When I found it, I couldn’t remember much of any of the details.
To cap it all, I’ve just spent 90 minutes looking everywhere including the loft and garage for something I believed I’d got in late March. I have very clear memories of it, but on checking my purchases it turns out I never had it in the first place. I’m really not sure if today has even especially bad, or whether this is just how I am now.

Ah, I’m really sorry to hear that. I’ve had a really annoying day too.
I’ve been horribly dizzy all day. I’m sure it’s the physio because I had terrible memory issues too. Of all the days someone chose today to call at 9:45 asking if I could deliver a 2 hour presentation at 10!
I had lunch right after and came back at 1pm to a cheeky demand from a private contractor wanting a whole load of stuff to be created and posted by 3pm! They got very short shrift and were reminded that we are the customers and we call the shots. To make matters worse they also claimed I had missed some documents out of the last lot of stuff I’d sent them. That was a really stupid move because they’ve done this before and I was wise to it this time. I had taken screenshots of every single document laid out on my desk, then batched and labelled, then packed in a courier envelope with their address on! I sent the screenshots and told them to go look for what they’ve lost.
I’ve just spent the last 3 hours pulling together the stuff they wanted posting today. I’ll send it tomorrow afternoon but it will all be screenshotted again and they can whistle if they lose it.

Oh, and just after I’d ordered a taxi to take us to get our Covid boosters, the pharmacy rang to say they didn’t have any vaccine, so could we come in 2 weeks time instead! FFS I’m sure they must have known at the start of the day that there was no vaccine. They were lucky we hadn’t actually started the taxi ride. I’d have carried on and visited them in person.

Idiots. Don't get me started with Doctors & pharmacy. Doctor came out 3.5 hours ago, prescribed her some strong anti-biotic said he would put the script thru to the Pharmacy straight away. Pharmacy claims they still aint received it & they shut in ten mins. Utter useless.
If she does not catch this infection soon she will have trouble breathing her Oxygen levels will go down & we end up in Hospital again with her. Im sick to the back teeth of the idiots

None of them seem to care, or even realise they sure messing with peoples lives. The mess the NHS is in doesn’t even make the news.

It’s sickening that the people who were thrown into the front line against Covid without even basic protection have just been abandoned and forgotten. It won’t bring their health back, but at the very least they deserve the best treatment available and 6 or 7 figure levels of compensation for what they have been forced to sacrifice.
I’d also like to see the negligent politicians tried and convicted, but I’d settle for doing right by the people who have been wronged.

I’ve felt lousy all day today. Still dizzy all the time and no energy. If this is down to the physio, it looks like that isn’t an option.

Feeling much worse today. Just wish I could press the “off” switch to get away from it.
