jabberknit May 2018 7:04pm, 20 May 2018 2,210 posts	0 jabberknit Sorry, DocM. It's a bit of wake-up when things like that happen, isn't it? Hope your friend recovers OK. I always feel quite young in my head, and forget how old I'm actually getting. It's even worse for my Mum, I think - she can't believe she's so old, she's got a daughter who's over 60!

Velociraptor May 2018 7:25pm, 20 May 2018 38,294 posts	0 Velociraptor I got a call-up from my GP, but I know my blood pressure and blood sugar are normal, don't need to know my cholesterol, and am addressing as many modifiable chronic disease risk factors as I can, so I didn't make an appointment.
Columba May 2018 7:46pm, 20 May 2018 15,611 posts	0 Columba Doc - that's very sad, hope both friends make good recoveries. Never been called in for check-ups. I turn up at the clinics for whatever jabs are going. Saw GP nearly two years ago for results of X-ray on knee, and he took my blood pressure while I was there (it was fine). That being said, I had a Funny Turn this morning in church, came over all faint. Was supplied with a drink of water and subsequently a cup of coffee and biscuits, felt fine ever since. May or may not have been anything to do with nearly an hour's run before breakfast; but I'd recovered from that (and had breakfast).
Lip Gloss May 2018 7:48pm, 20 May 2018 29,526 posts	0 Lip Gloss That and maybe the heat Columba. Glad you are okay. Never been called in from the gp but I do attend all clinics - breast screening, smear test and do the bowel screening.
Columba May 2018 7:52pm, 20 May 2018 15,613 posts	0 Columba Yes, that too LG; though I'm old enough for the breast screening and smear tests to have stopped, and I rather think the bowel screening has stopped too, - anyway, it's a long time since one dropped through my letter-box.
