Yesterday, after cancelling my appointment, the health centre offered me a blood test at 8 am this morning - a bit early I said. Then they offered me Monday. Fine, but the doc. is trying to find out if I actually have gout or something else. Finally they offered 1.15pm today. Not too bad, and mrs T can pop into Tesco while we're in town. However, the samples go down to Aberdeen for analysis, so the doc. wont see the results till Monday.
With any luck, some ibuprofin, an ice pack and rest will improve matters over the weekend.
Other than that, we're waiting to hear what "wee Jimmy's" 5 tier lockup plans are. Speculation is that tiers 2,3 & 4 will correspond to the English tiers 1,2&3 with tier 1 reserved for uninhabited islands in the middle of the ocean, and tier 5 where there will be armed guards outside eveyone's house to stop them escaping.
