Alishka - don't know if you will be able to help with this, but reading your early post about tetanus vaccinations got me thinking.

For various reasons my two girls haven't had tetanus vacs/boosters as the NHS seems only to offer them in combination with other vaccines. This may not be the case but this is what my practice nurse told me.

Do you know if you can get single tetanus vacs for children?

My girls really should have them.

Angle Shades,

Am such an airhead.... forgot to put this in my last post. ::) When your dressing comes off, get some Hypercal cream from the chemists. It's homeopathic and is fantastic for helping cuts to heal up quickly. It also lessens the scarring as well.

Hope you are feeling more able soon x

P.S - try taping up the wrist of the rubber glove with waterproof plaster. It stings a bit when you take it off, but it's worth it to be able to have clean hair!! ;D

For Tabby.....haven't your children had the combined DPT shot? In which case it'll be up to you to have them done separately, and possibly pay privately, to do so. With all the publicity over the past 2 years or so, I think I remember that most NHS doctors will only offer the 3-in-1 and I think that that was, basically,  because of the funding they get? I'm sure that you'd be able to find a doctor to vaccinate privately, tho.

PS for Shades.....Micropore instead of waterproof plaster round the cuffs of the rubber gloves! Doesn't hurt so much when you take it off ;D

[angle shades]

thanks to you both ;D ;D/shades x

Alishka,

Mine haven't had the DPT because I didn't want them to have the P bit of it..... a schoolfriend's baby brother was brain-damaged as a result of having the vaccine. I know it's a very rare occurance but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I watch them like hawks if they have any sort of hint of a cough!

They don't offer the T without the P at my surgery, but if you can get them done separately then I will start searching for a doc/clinic that gives me that option. Don't mind paying - worth it if they are going to be on the lottie with me.

Thanks x

:),

just an update on the finger situation!,had dressing changed twice this week, and its healing nicely :) :)so  the nurse said, so I had a look, OMG!!  YUK !

Anyway, I asked the important question, will my nail heal so I can wear mauve nail polish again ;D .The answer was yes, so I'm a very happy,but vain bunny!!/shades  :-*

Glad all is going well. Now about nails, not finger but TOE nails. 4 years ago I had two ingrowing nails removed. Injections to numb were bl**dy painful but was pleased it was over. I then had real pain, went back to chiropodist and was informed it was to do with the chemical they use to stop regrowth and I had what they called fennel(sp) burn. The pain went on for months, even had to wear soft boots at Charlie's funeral.
OK thought all is well. Then believe it or not both nails have  regrowth in a small area. No way am I going through that again.. Always wear knee length tights if I am wearing sandal cos the bits of  nails are not  a pretty sight ;D ;D  ::) When my son-in-law is cheeky to me I just say "Do you want to see my nails"" He runs ;D ;D

[angle shades]

ooo poor you Lorna,don't go through it again if you don't need to,I wouldn't ;)

my sister in law to be goes green when  I show her my poorly finger ;D ;D

if I were you I would wear open toed sandals without tights everytime your son-in law comes round, it would keep him on his toes so to speak ;) :)/shades :-*

[lorna]

angle. He is in my good books at the moment it is his eldest daughter that is going to present my first great grandchild!!!!!

[angle shades]

;D ;D on second thoughts better keep those toes covered for now ;D/shades :-*

[saddad]

My finger is little worse than a pale scar now... but it doesn't half sting when I catch it or knock it against anything!!!
;D

[angle shades]

 ::)too right saddad, my fingers healing nicely according to the nurse today, and she should know! and I've got to dress it myself now, which means looking at it :o/shades x
