[healthwork, plague diaries] a miscellany

kaberettThis morning: another COVID-19 test, though I've lost count of how many that is now, again as part of the ongoing symptom study. This was notable mainly in that it was possible to book a drive-through test (and indeed would have been possible to book a walk-in) within five miles of our actual address, so that was nice.
Alas, the pharmacy was indeed closed, as I'd grimly suspected it would be but hadn't quite managed to check, which means we did not pick up my meds on our way to get flu jabs.
The GP practice did provide me with a flu jab, after enquiring what precisely my grounds for eligibility were, seeing as I'm under 65 and all (where A skips this step completely, because he's Officially My Carer and registered as such, and Carers Get The Flu Jab For Free), but did provide it. Social distancing from other patients while queueing was only slightly nightmarish.
And: my GP, having expressed Surprise and Dismay that he hadn't been aware of my fall back in April, referred me to the local physio. The local physio have written to me telling me to call the on or up to two weeks after the 4th of November, at which point they will be able to make an appointment for me. I am not best pleased with this manner of arrangement, but sigh, we shall see, and maybe they'll be able to sort my out with exercises that don't make everything worse, though my hopes are not high.
(... we think you would be best off with a senior physiotherapist, they said.)
