Phone call from the doctors surgery today (I was expecting it) for my annual medication review.

It was established I need to have an up to date blood test and have a blood pressure tester strapped to me for a day.

Ok, book me in then.

Oh no, I can't do that, you'll need to ring the surgery to make the appointments. But you are the surgery......

Tomorrow I will join the phone queue.

Well, I don't know which referral it was (via the GP or the optician trying direct) but I called SpaMedica this morning and they confirmed that they had a referral for me.

They offered me a cancellation slot tomorrow morning for the pre-op assessment. Luckily my transport can do it, otherwise the next available appointment would have been a month away.

So, thankfully, the process has started - because at the speed the PCO is developing I reckon in a month's time I'd be close to being as blind as a bat in unfavourable lighting. Reading the computer screen is getting very hard and the evenings are starting to draw in - I came home at dusk the other night and when a car came the other way, granted with a badly adjusted headlight, I could hardly see a thing until they'd gone past
