The doctor has put me on tablets for blood pressure - I'll take them for a month and see how I go. She also gave me my own codeine so that I don't have to keep on taking either Tony's or Shirley's. That's Tramadol, codeine, paracetamol and an anti inflammatory every day. She wasn't happy with the codeine in case I get addicted.
I asked for a steroid injection for my hip and my neck. She's not happy - won't give them for my neck and in my hip only if I insist. I've been having them since I was 20 and she's worried about brittle bones. I exercise for my bursitis, so I'll try doubling up on them.
I also went to the butchers and got a couple of lamb's hearts for braising, some diced goat for curry (probably) and a rack of pork ribs. I'll be eating this weekend and the ribs will go down nicely.
