Doctors!

Went to the eye clinic on monday, and the consultant told me that I am not to get a new prescription unless my near vision has changed drastically - he says that my vision generally hasn’t changed since 2000. Trouble is, they test my eyes at the hospital with my glasses on and surely the prescription helps a bit! I definitely struggled to see the third line on the sight chart today (thought an ‘E’ was a £ sign).

AND .....

I am not a happy bunny today!

Ryan went with Amber to the doctors yesterday after school as she has really painful knees again, pain that is making her cry. The doctor is referring her to see a specialist with this and then asked Amber if she wanted to talk about her blood test results or should she get me to ring and speak to the doctor on her behalf. It appears that Amber is anaemic and needs iron tablets - I was told two weeks ago by the receptionist that everything was fine, so I shall be informing the doctor of this in no uncertain terns. What if it had been something more serious, not that anaemia isn’t serious, but Amber could’ve been on a course of tablets by now and feeling more lively.

I wrote to Amber’s head of year (lovely man, Mr Johnson) to get her excused from PE for the time being, she wants to do extra coursework instead of watching the others in class, and he saw no problem with this.

I wrote to him again this morning to tell that this arrangement needs to be in place for the foreseeable future and that, after telling him at Amber’s consultation evening that she was OK, Amber is to be prescribed medication for anaemia.

ggggrrrrrrrr………..
