Yes, each year. I'd already booked ours but at my last monthly bloods the nurse gave me mine so the vaccines I would think have been released at least a week now in Surgeries. It's recommended that anyone with weakened immune system should have the jab so I'd be booking yourself in now Gwen.

YES!!! Just got an different strain I think! X after having that flu that really knocked me out I am definitely getting mine this week x

My hand OT was excellent - she focused more on education & helping me understand what I could do to limit damage to my hands, when I saw her initially I had wondered if it was worth seeing her. I'm so glad I did! Her reasoning was that many years a go she'd worked with clients who had spinal injuries, she realised that if they lost the use of their hands then their life became severely limited, hence why she now focuses on education.

So pleased you had a good weekend & hope OT can help. Hopefully they'll sort out some splints for you or something. Ooo that dreaded word "cobbles" though, we have loads of pavements made up of pebbles (we live by the coast) & they're as bad. I either have to walk in the road or try to balance walking on the kerb! x

Haworth is such a lovely place. I haven't been there for many years but I used to live in Thornton just about 3 miles away and my husband lived in Keighley when we met. Cobbles are not good for for ankles and knee joints however. Hope you are feeling better today. Angela.

Oh my ... cobbles! Had the very same in Cornwall recently and felt for days after like I had been walking on red hot coals! Good news the sea soothed them a lot and red hot coals feeling wore off after a week. Sturdier, thicker soles needed underfoot next time I go near cobbles. Love Haworth .. not too far from me and love The Souk vintage/antiques and many other shops/cafes. Beautiful place. Sounds as though you may have visited The Souk too if you are into vintage/40's weekend. Good luck with your OT clinic. ;-)
