Might be time to get the pliers out
Do be so quick to do that, they've charged me a 4 figure sum to have one put back in today!

Cannot get in anywhere, I’ve resigned myself to the fact it will drop out of its own accord and I’ll get some turkey teeth later this year !

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

The neurologist I saw in December wants me to have some MRI's (I am seeing him for two issues at opposite ends of my torso. I told him that my pacemaker leads were incompatible but he insisted.


I got BUPA approval and let him make arrangements. He favoured a unit in Basingstoke as they have a more open scanner. Nothing.
Then I get a message that Basingstoke can't take me as they can't deal with pacemakers and that they will now book with Spire (Southampton), all quiet.
Eventually I get in contact with his private secretary and she finds an email in the wrong box about the Spire and she deals with it.
Message from Spire, they need a copy of my pacemaker "certificate". So I scan it and email to them. They can't open the attachment can I send a PDF. It is a PDF. So I email it from my PC, no good. I email it to work. OK. I email from work, no good. Finally I use GMail web interface CC to work. I get it OK at work and finally they get it.


Sorry we can't do an MRI because although your pacemaker is OK the leads aren't, passing back to consultant for alternative imaging.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

Being billed over £2k for vet bills. They waived a (small) fee because they were being underhanded which they've apologized for. Then they emailed back and asked for a payment £1.44 for a tin of cat food. I ain't knocking it, I just find it all comical. Still, wasn't sure it was right to put it here as "pet" hates or in the joke section.

Yep, trying to sort that out now with the vets. The cat had to go to 2 vets. One of those Vets put the insurance claim through on our behalf then billed us for it without signing the consent form. The other want us to go down a pay in full then put the claim through. Both are part of the same company though. So at the mo it's been a bit of a mess. Not exactly what we wanted after the loss our beloved cat.

Get a hamster.

If there ill, just hit them with a heavy book.

Joking, I have a Syrian Hamster "Chewie".

He'll let me pick him up.

I did have a scare earlier he wriggled free and jumped, luckily it was his food drawer he landed in.

he was in flight mode, i managed to pick him back up and he bit me.

My fault, I should have left him be.

Being mostly housebound, even a goldfish is now an option. It'll still be something to talk to at least.
