That’s awful @Shaz51 💞💞💞

@Shaz51   Sorry you never heard back from your GP, hopefully tomorrow.

Ahhh yes, I remember you saying that they had trouble getting blood out of you for your blood tests on Monday.

Thats very disappointing that the blood they took was unable to be used, and just a little bit incompetent of them. 😵

I expect your poor arm will be a little black and blue by now.  I bruise very easily ... do you?

Yes Shaz ... I too have had a pretty relaxed afternoon, and day.  No appointments today, for either Mr Sherry or me.  Got one tomorrow for hubby though, which we have to travel to another town for.  Its about an hour's drive.  Its a Sydney neurologist who comes to the town for 2 days once every second month.  This particular specialist, is treating and monitoring Mr Sherry's Parkinsons Disease.  He sees a different neurologist, from another city, for his encephalitis-related issues.  It gets pretty complicated at times.  Too many specialists.

@Shaz51  @Former-Member  I think that it is why it is so important to:

a) have a good GP to navigate things 

b) ask for medication reviews (Medicare allow a certain number)

c) get specialists to cc correspondence to each other as well as to GP

Very true @Former-Member 

The neuro Mr Sherry saw a bit over a week ago, said he would write to tomorrows neuro. But when I rang today and asked if they had received the report .. they said no. Hoping it arrives tomorrow in time for apt.

Mr Sherrys Oncologist is very good at keeping all other specialists in the loop. Which is helpful.

Med reviews ... yes they have done them in the past. Most of what hubby is on now are essential, and some absolutely vital.

How did Mr Darcys chemo go today, or was it yesterday?
