Last evening I received an SMS advising that my GP wanted me to make a non-urgent appointment to discuss my latest blood tests.

Checked on the Surgery site and she had some slots available for today but these could no longer be booked on line.

Phone first thing this morning only to be told that the doctors are no longer doing face-to-face consultations:-S :-S

Booked a phone appointment for 0930 and fair enough the doctor contacted me at that time approximately.

Ran through the tests, sugar levels fine and well controlled, cholesterol also OK.

Vitamin D still down so she advised me to start taking supplements.

Then came the one I was dreading... the liver function test. :-(

All I got was, 'the rest of the bloods were fine, liver fine' and that was it.

I very nearly asked if she was sure that she had the correct results, but decided against it ;-)

Strange times indeed :-D :-D

Allan, we are waiting to see whether OH's appointment on 21 April will go ahead.

On another tack, I have had an email from an ex-colleague who also lives in WA, saying that WA is closing its borders to all other states too. When?
