One advantage of private cataract surgery is that you can get fairly sophisticated lenses that can remove the need for reading glasses. When I need cataract surgery (which might be soon, according to the eye hospital), I’ll look into the range of things available like that.

Their partner ‘Chrysalis Finance’ are using the rear of the leaflet to inform me of a range of funding options (0% over 12 months or 14.9% over 36 months) to allow me to spread the cost.
Had both my eyes done. Was punted out to a private organisation. Was offered corrected lenses but stuck with standard and free jobbies. Main effect is enhanced colour vision. I can now tell difference between blacks e.g. is that black a very dark brown or blue? My partner has just had her first cataract op in Ysbyty Gwynedd hospital, but then she also has glaucoma. Presumably a bit of cherry picking.

My right big toe nail is now virtually completely off just the bottom left corner is still attached.
Not sure if I should just yank it off?
Doesn’t hurt me when walking but if I push down on it it is pretty painful.
The left big toenail is also coming away from the bed but not as far gone yet - probably just a matter of time.
Still not heard anything about the CT scan I had four weeks ago that was meant to precede some radiotherapy so will call MacMillan nurse first thing tomorrow snd see if she can find out what is going on.
Thanks for that

That’s given me a mental trauma that the worst of Steak and Cheese couldn’t manage in 1998. Cheers
I get that, just a fungal thing that the chemist will supply a fix involving faff by giving money to not fix.
I just cut it off and live with it.
Potassium Permangenate, kills everything. Never did me any harm and House Matron swore by it. I was never convinced that gargling with it achieved anything other than keeping us away from her!
It’s a cure all, get in, literally.
Trouble is he’ll end up the same colour as his food 
Just been spending a few hours in a&E. Been wondering for a few weeks why my arm has been hurting and getting worse. Now I know - subluxation of right shoulder

I had my biopsy done on my prostrate last week, not a nice experience. Results day today and I have just found out it is a none cancerous cyst. To say I’m relieved is an understatement.
Thank you to everyone for the kind words and support.
Going to buy me a lottery ticket I feel lucky today.
