Got a shocked look at my reply to his question " have you ever fainted after an injection" . He wasn't expecting " normally before"
My youngest sister used to pass out at the sight of needles, she went to have her ears pierced at Vickys (Hairdresser) in Stone, many moons ago. Had 1 ear done and as Vicky was lining up the other ear, she went cold out. Didn't stop her going on to have both ears done multiple times, and at least 5 tattoos.

The Carer (all 6ft 2 of him) decided to faint while watching me have an injection to have my hand stitched up when I cut it open, he's since fainted every time he's had to have a blood test....

I didnt realise but it appears i can have the wifes prescription delivered for free direct from the doctors/pharmacy .
Not sure if this is because i'm the registered carer or its due to the wife's actual medical issues.

Either way , it sure beats waiting for the prescription to be made up as that can take 30-45 mins and also its difficult to leave the house so its a win for me :)

I passed out waiting my turn to have my ears pierced many years ago. Went with the girls from work to the jewellers that was in the arcade by the old market doors. I was the last of 6 of us to get harpooned. Every time I see one of those old brown chairs anywhere, I always think of that lunchtime when I ended up sitting on it with my head between my knees before it had even got to my turn.
Still had my ears done that lunchtime though ( Didn't have much choice with the girls I worked with :lol:)

I think anyone on a repeat prescription can have them delivered free.

I saw an advert, I think it was Lloyd's pharmacy, advertising this but didn't take much notice as I collect mine from Asda when I shop there and it isn't a big problem for me at the moment.

Anyway I'm glad this service is of benefit to you and your wife as I'm sure it will be to many other patients who may need it.

So glad it's not just me then. Whilst holding 18 month old son down when he was having stitches in his eye brow in a Majorcan hospital ( cracked his head open on the bed headboard), I came round on a bed in the next room lol

My parents used to have theirs collected and delivered as well in their last few years when they couldn't get out themselves.

Turns out I haven't rebuilt the CBX 1000 quite as well as I'd hoped (or maybe just the joys of classic bike ownership) but spent a surprisingly enjoyable hour about five miles on the Shrewsbury side of Newport waiting for Britannia to recover my stricken bike. Lovely out in the sun it was.
Excuse for a couple of hours tinkering in the garage.

That place was called Mann the Jewellers, it's where I had mine done! 31st December 1974, my 11th birthday.

I've always muddled along as best I could but I've been poorly myself just lately .
I think I'm now starting to realise that sometimes there's not enough hours in the day and I could do with a little help myself but always thought there's people worse off that would benefit more.

... Just need to persuade wifey now that a live-in maid would help as well :heyhey:

One of my earliest memories is the MO at Luqa sewing my knee up with my blood dripping down back on me from his hair.

Mine must have been around that time. Can't remember the year, but we were working (and having great fun ) over in the Old Hough at the time , not long before it was demolished.
