That is a lot of hospital admissions vittorio, can't help you regarding the injection though, your doc must think you are worth it and if its going to help keep you out of the hospital, try to find out what its called and then seriously consider accepting.

(So long as its not summat to put you down that is ;) :D only kidding ;) )

If it's offered you please take it, you have had plenty of time in hospital. Have a good night and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx

You’re not a burden vittorio. If the injection is meant to help you then maybe give it a go. It might just keep you out of hospital. Anyway, expensive or not, you’re worth it. Xxx😘👍

Its probably cheeper than your hospital stays. Sorry i dont know the name of the drug you are talking about but it must be worth a try. Good luck i hope it helps

If it works it will save the NHS lots of hospital visits! So no need to feel guilty.

Love the witty title and way you have written your message, for someone who has been in hospital so many times all I can say is I love your attitude 👌👌

It's probably cheaper than having you in hospital so many times , as long as it keeps you out , go for it and good luck . Ps . Ask if I can have one too !! N🤔🤔🤗🤗
