Dealing with getting older
Old age for me appeared to occur out of the blue, I like many joked about getting old but did not appear to be affected.
A minor skin infection involved several weeks of visiting the nurses at the G P surgery which has not completely gone, The nurses were very kind and helpful at a time the were very busy.
For the first time I realised how much I depended on and needed the NHS on a regular basis to deal with minor problems which affect my ability to continue to live a full life.
Planning for the future is stressful and difficult, booking a day out not knowing how you will feel on the day,not going out means a reduction of what I like to do. My health has become the major factor in all decision making.
Thank you for your contribution!
