Alison is on video link in the midday Diamonique hour with Julia and Nicola the model.
Most people do in this situation, maybe it’s because they do their make up in a way which makes an impact.Just flicked on and I see Alison is with Julia via video link.Good to see her back and looking good.She has obviously lost her hair with the treatment but she so suits her cropped look.Great to see you Alison.
I do hope she does well. My DH has had a terrible year and I’ve had probs too but he was in the system before covid and I was an emergency. I don’t know when Alison was diagnosed but I worry about all those who don’t want to bother their doctor at the moment. Every one of us has the right to fight our corner and hospitals are really trying to plough on this time. There’s a ghastly reckoning coming at the end of all this though.
I'm so sorry that you're having such a difficult time; I read your post with a lump in my throat & rising anger, you're so right about the ghastly reckoning. Alison was diagnosed in early December & had endured a fair amount of treatment before national house arrest. I've followed her story since then & her descriptions of all the symptoms she had, & how she rationalised why she was feeling the way she did, serve as a warning to all of us not to dismiss things that don't go away & stay away. I know that many are diagnosed with an illness when they feel absolutely fine, or only have a hint that something may be wrong, but ignoring exhaustion or continuous pain is unwise.I do hope she does well.

Couldn’t agree more. I never used to bother the GP but now I need them it’s nigh on impossible to speak to a medically qualified person. Then it’s only after a row with the people manning the phones.I want to know what the bliddy hell our GP’s have been doing this past 7 months as they are refusing to do appointments, nil, none, bugger all.
Yet they will all be there next month doing the flu injections all whilst rubbing their hands at the money they get for each injection (was a tenner per patient about 10 years ago when I found a note written by a GP to her fellow GP’s where she told them to inject all and sundry as it was very lucrative for the practice)
Lost all respect for GP’s during Covid.

It’s heartbreaking when vulnerable elderly folk are messed about like that. It probably took huge effort for her to get there in the first place and then she’s dismissed while the doc sits alone making his sandwich last as long as possible. I find I’m becoming quite militant these days!I had to drop some paperwork to my GP surgery, we have to wait outside and ring the bell. This elderly lady was complaining that she has puss coming from her lower foot. you could see it as clear as day.
she was promptly turned away and told to phone and they will give her a call back chat then arrange for her to come down to see a doctor. I was mortified. since covid how many people have actually died of other causes it makes my blood boil!
