Be mindful WQ. I went in horses blazing and got quite ill so listen to your body.

Change if weather and germs flying around the office so feeling yucky as full of cold.

What are your guy's thoughts on flu jab?

Hi Jbains

ive has flu jab for years because Of my diabetes. Didn’t stop me getting flu one year but I was nowhere near as poorly as others who got it. More like a really heavy cold with aches. The actual jab makes me feel a bit off it for a few days but not too bad. I wiukdnt not have it done.

I had it last year as I was just starting rt in October. I rang the gp surgery and I’m nit down to have it this year. Thinking I’ll pay for it. 

I recommend all having flu vaccine after our treatment especially if you work in an office or care for the elderly. Two vaccines this year one for over 65s and a slightly different one for younger.

Thanks WQ. We have a lot of people in the office who visit schools so you can imagine the bug fest that brings. 

Will be paying the local pharmacy a visit to get a shot. 

Morning peeps 

rileyroo if u ask yr surgery will they not give it anyway... ours used to..well... especially when the ordered too much nd needed rid or they wouldn’t get paid lol. Don’t know if changed but guidelines used to say the chronic disease groups etc and anyone else the GP deemed needed. X

bless can u not share some of your workload with other nearby practices ( what our DN teams used to do... all employed by same trust).

its hard because like all nursing staff the commitment to work and the patient is alway your priority. It’s still early days for u lass so think longer term about the cumulative effect this could have on your own health. Look after yourself then u are better placed to help others. 

Nowt wrong with feeling off... it’s the bad so don’t hold it in .... in the words of Disney’s life style coach ... Elsa...... let it go, let it go ;-)

take care lass ️

Blimey sundial sounds like a medieval torture:-0

wow only 2 more to go.... so close u can almost touch it.

how fab to have your jollies to look forward to :-)

well deserved me dear.... you have earned every relax on a lounger, every chilled glass of ... whatever, every.......... everything:-) x

Morning ladies. Hope you're all doing ok. Thanks for responses re flu jab. Made my appt.

The good - got day off.

The bad - full of cold. Blimey - cold weather hasn't even begun! Here's hoping I won't catch another one again. I had flu twice last winter season and 3 colds. Commuter germs on the train is what I blame. Someone at work had a cold a couple of weeks ago. Never even used to catch a cold at All, only few sniffles here and there before I had treatment. I'm taking supplements as well due to bone and joint damage and exercising. Can't win! Maybe I'll eat loads of junk and sit on sofa - might help??!

Sorry to moan but I just wish sometimes a week or two would go by where I just feel well. I feel good inside myself- silly body doesn't cooperate! Need a new one. Knew I should've married a plastic surgeon......

Enjoy your day.
