Sorry, I know that I posted some self-pitying medical whinge just recently, but here I go again…
I was supposed to have had my follow-up blood test this past week so that we could establish once and for all that I have pernicious anaemia and get me started on B12 injections asap. Except that we have a national shortage of blood vials so I can’t get that final blood test. A. NATIONAL. SHORTAGE. OF. BLOOD. VIALS.
Now that we are using the imperial system again, it seems I have been transported back to the effing Blitz!!! What’s next? We get rid of science and start teaching alchemy in the schools? FFS!
In any case, my shins and forearms are constantly throbbing, with no relief to be had from pain killers… I feel the need to fall asleep multiple times a day… But because of the fantasies of a pack of jackasses in government, I can’t progress my treatment.
I feel like claiming refugee status in Germany.
