Dear All, When I was in hospital at the weekend, the Dr asked questions to make sure I was compus mentis. Eventually we got to: "Who is the current Prime Minister?" I replied instinctively: "A jackass..Boris Johnson" The Dr said: "I would have taken the former answer" John

There appears to be a double mutation in the spike protein in India. Even 'flu gives us a break, except perhaps for 1918.

Re: New oral drug for covid-19
I think it's more than fair to say I am worried about the pair of you as such good friends. AZ vaccine gave me more than headaches, 'flu like symptoms & confusion for 4 days, but I'm still very glad I had it Hugs John

Re: New oral drug for covid-19
Your choice about the vaccines is yours alone but do wear facemasks etc. ?Incidence in Australia is much lower than here but not zero Hugs John

I will pray for the pair of you. I'm not a "Bible basher", only a weak C of E, but at difficult times it has given me strength. Love to ypu & Peter John

Husband had a headache last night following jab ?and was slightly sniffly this morning. No sympathy. I did say I thought timing would be bad if he got sick from this jab and I’m not quite up to being a my old cooking maniac self.?
I am considering an iWatch following my 2 nights in ICU and drama that went on. I really can’t take those auto pressure cuffs and I see that as a possible alternative. You would be aghast at the sight of my blackened bruised forearms.?
I am looking forward to clutching iPad Pro Apr30 for a good look at it - not thinking 2 TB. Reviews keep saying it’s software lets it down but then I have always thought that as it doesn’t run OS full applications.?
I have thought I should maybe have had a splurge on the Windows desktop that grabbed me with collapsible touch screen and hockey puck thing for swivelling through colours in PS. At the time I thought this should be going on with the iMac Pro.
I don’t know about you lot but a lot of things that kept me busy as prior to Covid have faded away so I have a bit more brain space time to think about doing something for me. Other people having to rethink how they operate and not needing me to produce stuff for them. ?Want to keep the mind busy though.?

Dear All, About 10 days after the covid vaccine, I got 'flu like symptoms, confusion & lost my glasses. I could only see 6 " for about 14 days. Thank Goodness I got the new glasses just now. My vision is pretty much perfect, but there is a perspective shift, so I'll stay indoors for 24 hrs. John

Sounds like good news, overal, Jude.
I fancy both the iPad Pro and the Air. ?There’s about ?50 difference in price, although the Air comes with 256Gb while the Pro has 128Gb, I think.
I rather like the iMac as well . . .

My husband had first Astra Zeneca jab this morning. Surgery rang to offer me but then when told I’m just home ?from surgery they said no I couldn’t have one. Didn’t intend to anyway.?
As I’m still in recovery from surgery I hardly approve of the timing in case he gets sick. I’m not recovering as fast as I expected. Could be being tough on myself- brain is on cylinders just can’t get out of my own way :-)?
Saw GP to check in post surgery and he said why are you here!! Scuse me says she with cut throat.?
Anyway he was no help so googled meds tossed out the ones I thought were giving me cold sweats and pain and kept important ones.
Told surgeon what I’d done and he was good with that. Seeing him for ultrasound view of repair 5th May - then I’m free!
Planning on looking at iPad Pro 30th Apr Chermside in Brisbane.?

Dear Jude, Not perfect here did a preliminary search. Pfizer BioNTech vaccine has the least side effects. In particular the later B2 version. The sample size is small, as you can see, so the statistical significance is not great. No one can force you into it. Certainly not me, BUT if you are going to go for a vaccine this is the one I would pick for you. It may take some cajoling of your GP, it has to be stored in dry ice until the day of use, so is more expensive, but from what you've said of your surgeon I'm sure he can do it. HTH, hugs to you & Peter John

My husband’s cousin is going through similar aggravation where she lives on Sheppey - months to have a scan which proved the back problem and source of pain then injections approved back before December last year and nothing since. Her son stepped in and said let’s go private and got it organised only to have them ring today to cancel out and put it off for 3 weeks!!!
Whilst I don’t think one should rely on the State for everything health is at a state of ridiculous to have that come about.?
We’re privately insured and if needed I can have a scan done within the hour most times, be back at the Dr and be referred on and it just keeps progressing. Mind you this insurance ?is not cheap.?
In my latest skirmish I went from scan at the surgeon’s office to him Sitting at the desk booking me an operation from his diary and sorting hospital ?theatre etc within minutes. Basically From seeing him to surgery was7 days.?
It was all done too that my fund paid everything surgeon and hospital and pharm with no upfront pay from me.?
Agony was free too :-) but I’m here to talk about it.?
