the dreaded virus

[Mavary]

Hi guys. Just to get you up to date. I spoke to my Dr this morning he has offered me amytriptylin for my shingles. I explained I’m supposed to have my dressing off on my leg for the carcinoma I had removed. It’s ten days today and the dresssing should be changed today. . He said he would send out a district nurse. I said are you trying to set off World War three. He asked me why and I explained what happened on Friday and the fact that they said I’m not disabled. I said I was in tears in the end. He said well she’s wrong and of course you can have a district nurse. I don’t think he’s very impressed. Anyway I can’t have anyone in yet as up to yesterday I’m still positive for Covid. He doesn’t think hanging on for a few more days will hurt for my dressing. My Dr is so kind and understanding. I would never take advantage of that.

I haven’t won and I haven’t lost. I Need to keep a reasonable relationship with my surgery because the age I am I obviously need them. It doesn’t help to alienate them. They did make me upset and cross though.

So pleased you’ll be getting a district nurse coming out to you Mavis. Your doctor sounds brilliant and one we’d all want. You’re right to keep the surgery onside but I hope they behave more sensitively in the future.

Hoping you get a negative covid test very soon.

Take care, Carole xxx❤️💜

Thank you Hon! But you’re not having my Dr!🤣😹. I don’t want him to rock the boat as I want him to stay. It’s like I say I can’t do anything about anything while I’m still positive. This Covid has knocked me flying. I don’t usually get so down but this really brought me down. I usually get my back right up if I’m treated badly. Like when I was in hospital for two days. They didn’t get away with that. I’m a very quiet peaceful person until I get put on.

Anyway Thanks for your support. Xx

[sassy59 in reply to Mavary]

Oh well you can’t blame me for trying Mavis😂👍Willing the test to be negative anyway. It’s understandable you feel down as you’ve been knocked sideways. You and I are very similar. I’m quiet and peaceful too but watch out anyone who tries to push their luck with me or Pete. Grrrrr!

Here for you dear lady. Xxx💕❤️

[Mavary in reply to sassy59]

Grrr! Tiger. Thank you. Xx💖

[Mavary in reply to sassy59]

you won’t believe it. Any 11 still positive. Grrr!

[sassy59 in reply to Mavary]

I know it can take a while Mavis but see what tomorrow brings xxx🤞🏼

[Mavary in reply to Mavary]

Great reply said everything I wanted to say to Mavery x

[peege]

I'm so pleased that you've a very kind doctor M - I'm quite envious! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Mavary in reply to peege]

you can’t have him! 🤣😹. Xx

[Lemon7]

Thank goodness you have a caring and sensible doctor. I hope he passes on instructions to all other surgery staff about their level of care and help to be offered. Good luck going forward.

[Mavary in reply to Lemon7]

Thank you Lemon. I don’t think he would say much as he’s not been there too long. He’s the sort of man that is a Gentleman. He will help you get your coat on and hold the door for you. What happened to all the men we used to have that would do that.

[Lemon7 in reply to Mavary]

So true. Obviously conscientious, caring, well raised and well mannered. Not too many like that anymore. Good to have a Doc like that. Best wishes to you.

[Mavary in reply to Lemon7]

Thank you. Xx

It makes u feel so much better being respected and treat properly xxx

[Mavary in reply to Patk1]

it most certainly does. He’s now gold to me. I’ve put some elastic on him so he will always ping back. 🤣😹

[Mavary in reply to Mavary]

To be honest you should be able to feel at ease and be able to speak to a Dr without getting upset. Mind you it’s not like me to get like that. I should have set my Son on them. 🤣😹

[Alberta56]

I'm glad you can have a District Nurse. What a pity you had such an awful time trying to get one. I still think your surgery deserves a rocket. Fingers crossed that the Covid will go away tomorrow or very soon. xxx

[Mavary in reply to Alberta56]

it’s not worth the other. I’ll only get a reputation for being a stroppy person and maybe even get banned.

[Alberta56 in reply to Mavary]

A shame that you have no recourse to your bad treatment.

[Mooka]

so pleased your doctor has some common sense and decency that was lacking on Friday. I hope you feel better soon and get a negative test. 🤗

[Mavary in reply to Mooka]

nope afraid not. Day 12 still positive.

[Izb1]

What a good outcome for you Mavary and you certainly have a doctor thats worth keeping., although I think the staff need a good talking to. Lets hope you dont have to wait to long for the dressing to be changed. Good luck x

[Karenanne61]

I'm pleased you managed to speak to the gp and he was kind, it makes such a difference. Let's hope the covid slings his hook and your dressing can get sorted!

Hi Marvary,

Here’s hoping it works out well, the doctor may have a WORDin someone’s ear reminding them of your NEEDS, and his directives with regard to the care u require now.

All Health care staff are obliged to:

Listen to patients needs, and doctors orders that’s the rule.

All the best

Bernardine 🥰🤗🤗🤗

[Mavary in reply to djbctla]

Thank you.it’s about time they realised you can’t treat people like that. If we all complain it may stop.

[Digger0]

So glad the nurse is coming out to you.

[Mavary in reply to Digger0]

nah didn’t bother. I’ve taken it off myself. It’s fine.

[adenough]

Hi there, just to say that I find it extremely odd to be given amytriptylin for shingles as it’s an antidepressant .. doc tried to tell me it was for sleeping.. no thanks.. hope you soon get well xx

[Mavary in reply to adenough]

hi it’s supposed to calm th nerves in the Shingles. It’s nerves that have become inflamed by the Shingles and hopefully it will stop the stabbing sensation.
