Cost of life

It's crippling coming from 2 salaries to one due to illness,then losing that to ill health,I have to save to go to hospital coz all the tax I've ever paid equals zero assistance with transport, I pay over the top for parking 19 pound it cost last visit,only to get 100 pound ticket for not including time spent in Queue to park,ffs,I thought only masked men with guns robbed people.now I save to go get my results...this government should be ashamed of how it treats sick people.

Rant over,

Phil.🌜

Keep smiling and keep moving 😁 too easy to become withdrawn. Don't have a plan which is very freeing. Hoping your treatmentcontinues smoothly and life is kinder to you from here on in 😍😍

Got lost in life's little set backs,had my bloods but missed the results appointment, threw me sideways but think I got it. Covered, tried to organise blood tests closer to home but in the process managed to forget all the details,will have to wait now till I finish treatment in 2 Weeks.

inwards and upwards.

Aww. At least you get results appointment, in my neck of the woods no results appointment. Barely any contact which can cause unnecessary anxiety. Like I posted I've had letter about my results 8 weeks after bloods. So you're doing OK & being looked after well. Crikey only 2 wks to go! Well done Phil. πŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸπŸπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ™‹πŸ™‹πŸŒžπŸ»πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰Take it easy my friend πŸ˜‡πŸ˜πŸ˜
