That’s some achievement, John. ?But I suspect that misunderstandings are often the cause of apparent resentment. ?We have had some schisms in our famiiy that could have been resolved with some frank discussion and mutual respect.

My sister resents me because we went to the same school. She got around about two C's and a B at A level. I got a grade A Distinction & 3 B's. She went to Lampeter University & got a 2,2 in history. I went to a Russell Group University & graduated Best of Year in Organic Chemistry, got an MSc in Pharmacology. A PhD in Organic Chemistry, a National Institute of Health Postdoctoral fellowship & 4 publications in the literature. John _._,_._,_

Maybe you need to check yourself in someplace John and get yourself sorted professionally. No point in self analysing or talking about meds. Like all of us you have to see someone expert who knows and new medications and treatments coming along all the time and your knowledge would be way out of date. ?Get someone to drive you to where you need to be or phone and get someone to help you get sorted properly and transport. ?Don't be afraid to ask for what you want otherwise you will not progress.?
I had a good talk with my sister in law yesterday - she was hit by a car in February and is having mental issues. Sounds like a bit of PTSD going on, but she had a fair bang to the head also by the sounds of things and her memory is affected but she's also getting very angry, but at the same time having trouble putting sentences together.
Police advised her to get legal help yesterday. I already told her that back in February as it its going to end in Court, ?but neither her or husband had actioned, ?so I got on to our solicitor yesterday and he's taking on her case for compensation and he's also going to organise her some help with a psych and also get scans re done etc. He really knows the best people so I am very pleased he is going to help even though she is a long way north of us. ?She and her husband seem very comfortable with what I have arranged. Our solicitor previously handled a compensation case for our nephew (her son) organised by me, and the man did his utmost for a good conclusion.?

I'm sorry to say this, but my depression is getting worse. Tears are streaming down my eyes. I'm Church of England. I'm not sure what their policy is as regards suicide. But I know the Catholic Church regards it as a sin against God. I've tried to get more antidepressants, but my current Dr's want to cover their asses. Only my Doctor in Bristol cared for me & gave me Prozac 60 mg & Lofepramine 140 mg. I'm not sure how much longer I can go on. I know about Monagamine malignancy syndrome, so I can spot the symptoms. The B@5t@rd5 are not helping me! John Miller PhD

Well, Susie. It was in a Dennis Wheatley novel: "Onley those who love without desire will be given strength in the darkest hour" I think that's very true John

Well Jude, things were a bit more serious than that. Spiral fracture of the Tibia & simple fracture of the Fibula. I had 20 mg of Oramorph (Morphine) & Entonox (Nitrous oxide & Oxygen), but I've never felt physical pain like it as they twisted my foot back 30 degrees. Knew it had to be done. They were out by 5 degrees. Consultant, Mr Desai put a steel rod in & corrected the 5 degrees. I was given a nerve block in my spine (he was a bloody good anaethetist too) + Midazolam (tranqilizer) so you don't give a damn about anything. The only thing that was more painful was when I asked my South Carolina girlfriend to marry me & she said "Oh NO!, oh NO!' I guess she was scared of commitment Anyway, the Flucoxacillin (antibiotic) is doing a bloody good job, healing my cut foot. I guess I might have inherited Osteoporosis from my mother (She had Dowagers Stoop) & weak lungs from my father. The only thing they gave me that was good was a best of year brain & resourcefullness.

I have been resisting the nagging messages on my 16in MBPro to update to Big Sur, as some of my applications are already not functioning under Catalina. ?I have let my VMware subscription lapse, so no virtual boxes on here and Boot Camp only exists on my 27in iMac from 8 years ago.? Best Susan

<DSCF0682 Chinook aft door.jpeg>
It was the Falkands war & it was refeulled by Victor tankers. They didn't have enough fuel to make it back to Ascension Island: "The commanding officer said do we go on?" "All the crew said we go on!" This was the Professionalism of the RAF!
Andy Macknap said ?in their Chinook: "If ?we get any enemy fire, we'll come back & pick you up!" Well a Chinook is a flying schoolbus. It can carry a lot of weight! But it is agile & as monouverable as crap! John

Sorry Chris, but I don't think it's as agile & manouverable as a Tornado. Though of course I am no expert on these things! I was trained to make medicines! ?I can't force you to contact my friend Brian, but I think you would gain a lot from one another. He probably shouldn't tell me ?but he goes to GCHQ?
