Me: don't call people the r word. It's ableist and not cool. Society: okay I'll call them a moron . Me: no, that's also ableist and not okay. Society: well how am I meant to insult people based on their cognitive skills and perceived intellect. Me: you're not. That's the point.

So the NHS pay for my specialist mental health treatment, that is provided by a charity. The NHS already do this???.Is this saying they will stop paying charities to do the work or that they will pay them more??.

Patients will be connected to specialist charities as soon as they've been diagnosed with a long-term health condition, starting next year. This new service means expert advice, emotional support and practical help from day one, alongside NHS care. More:

Went for a jog for the first time in a month, since our hip is feeling more stable. Yes, I was using a crutch last week, this week I can go on a jog. Not faking. Just the weird fluctuating reality of chronic pain and joint instability.

Just sent off my spit as part of the NHS Jewish BRCA testing programme. If you have Ashkenazi ancestry (like me) there's a 1 in 40 chance of having the BRCA gene faults (1 in 200-250 in the UK). This increases cancer risk. And now I wait up to 16 weeks for the results.

Asked my husband if he's a vampire because I found some soil from our old house in the garage.He was confused. I explained the lore behind vampires needing to travel with burial soil in order to survive. Then I realised I was asking him if he died and was buried in our old house.
