I thought you were ill? Glad to see you've made a rapid recovery ?
Awaiting further tests. Returned on Tuesday after being off over the festive break. Got a feeling I'll still need surgery at some point and my diabetes needs looking at but while I still get tired easily I could be worse off and better than many.

Got a call today saying my dad has had a weird problem today. He totally lost his short term memory. No bang on the head or anything. Really worrying. The symptoms seem to fit exactly with 'transient global amnesia' - very worrying but usually only lasts 24 hours at most, so I hope it is just that. He is having tests done now.
Hopefully it's a speedy recovery.

Hid had this about 8 weeks ago, very worrying on the day and she's lost 3 days with no recall at all.
But all good now, there have been 2 other members with it in last 3 years
Sounds scary. Hope it gets sorted quickly

I get irritated when people post stuff in Random Irritations, when they really should be reporting it to the mods

I suffered a suspected TIA the morning after my 72 birthday, [ 3 years ago past ]while I was doing some electrical work in a hotel that was being renovated.
I stood up after connecting up a socket, looked out the window and didn't know where I was.
I said to a joiner who was working in the same room, I think I've just had a bad turn or something I don't know where I am.
He replied you're in the White House, that confused me even more.
After various scans at the hospital, the doctor said it was probably a Trans Ischemic Attack, with no damage and nothing showing on any of the scans.
Fortunately, I recovered quickly and my memory returned after a few hours.
I was relieved to be told that I would still be allowed to drive a car.
That didn't stop my mates from asking if I remembered owing them various sums of money.
Fingers crossed your dad is as fortunate

Thanks. He's just got back home after a bunch of tests. Apparently his memory has slowly got a bit better during the day but not completely back yet. The tests didn't show any abnormality so likely is one of those type of incidents.I suffered a suspected TIA the morning after my 72 birthday, [ 3 years ago past ]while I was doing some electrical work in a hotel that was being renovated.

BBC Breakfast leading with a tennis story rather than the horrific fire in New York.
Agreed. Added irritation ad Djokovic seems to have flouted Australian immigration rules and still got in

I see it much more an immigration control and vaccination/anti-vaccine story as there isnt really any reporting of the impact on the tennis, other than the very obvious that he may not play. The impact on the actual tennis is being reported in the sports news. That’s not to say it doesn’t bug me that it is an ongoing story that’s become unavoidably treated as a leading story by all news channels and outlets

A major road in my area is about to undergo a second disruption in order to extend the making of a cyclist path alongside the carriageway .
However, the number of cyclists who ignore its existence and still use the carriageway brings into question the wisdom of creating such a cycle way.
Or, rather, the lack of will to require cyclists to use it.
It isn't a question of "education", it's about a conscious choice to stay in the carriageway and the other traffic can manage its way around me.
I hope when these schemes are completed there will be a change to the Road traffic Act.

What worries me is that a Government makes a law, but a judge can change it.
This goes on too much. I cannot believe that laws are being so badly written that a judge can so often say " The law is not as you acted on it, Mr Government. What this law really says is 'such and such'."
A judge is there to uphold the law, not to make it.

As a former regular cyclist in London, many of the cycle paths seemed to have been designed by non-cyclists. They often felt like they put cyclists and pedestrians into more danger than just staying on the road. Some were downright crazy - two-way for cyclists on a road that's one-way for cars means drivers entering from a side road aren't used to checking in that direction. Most experienced cyclists I know would rather take their chances in a normal lane.

Still don't know if I'm staying or going as part of the restructure or even if I'm at risk.
Tell me so she can spend my redundancy or I can start looking for other jobs anyway.
