I've just had a thought..

I saw Hattie yesterday.. One side of her face is slightly swollen.. It is painful to yawn..
While we were having coffee the dental surgery phoned saying they had a cancellation.
She has her op tomorrow (Thursday) late afternoon..
So pleased for her..
But this was after much checking in the area.. telephone calls.. prices..
It shouldn't be like this.. I feel sad for those not in a position to source/obtain/ afford treatment.

S' alright Scrumpy, we/they're used to it..

in the early eighties the steward of our club was upset by the news that his wife required a ladies op.she was so debilitated she couldnt work, and it was she who did all the catering for weddings ect, which was a big earner for them, but they were informed there was a two year waiting list, so  she would be off work for two years at least... have you considered going private i suggested, he was a bit shocked,and said i didnt think you would agree with that road... i smiled and pointed out the rules change when its family... so the enquired and it cost Them £30... and she was in within a week....
this was the catholic club Granny...

One of the few I've never been in. I don't think my OH ever worked there either.  Its strange, as South Yorkshire clubs were a good part of his bread and butter.  His agent for many years was originally a singer from Askern.

And ditto for you bonny lass.    I wasn't suggesting you were wealthy, I was just saying that most of us know that wealth brings small privileges and that the majority are used to it..I'd certainly not deny Hattie her pain relief on some socialist principle. I once lived and worked bent double for over a year because I couldn't get an appointment for access to a scanner. I finally paid £600 to get my spine scanned privately.. in a car park. Now there's posh! Instant result, operation within a month so I meant nothing by the remark chuck..
