@sallydaviesjr It's like LM's stepfather (84). Major brain trauma last Sept, still keeps falling over and is constantly disorientated. But he's deemed "not age-appropriate" for a CT scan. Really?

He's not even that old. A youthful 74. It happened AT A JAZZ FESTIVAL. Walking across a field with Madeline Bell. Probably has a more interesting life than the triage doctors marking him as non-urgent because there's no money and over 65 = practically dead anyway.

Nope. Just another doctor, this one saying er, we might have left this too long and it's now unfixable. Here are your options: spend the rest of your life one-armed, in terrible pain, or have a major operation to replace your entire shoulder, with a two-year recovery period.

Finally, after four weeks, got a date to fix my dad's badly dislocated shoulder – June 20th. Lovely. He didn't need to sleep or eat or wash before then anyway. Words cannot express how I miss living in a country with a decent health service.

Flags now popping up around the city with the number 49,999, marking the population of the laguna dipping below 50k for the first time in centuries.

@sallydaviesjr @VeniceExpert Mammograms in Spain are routinely every two years, smears every year. They call you, you don’t have to remind them. I’m not sure if this applies to the whole country.

Back in Spain. Doc: You haven't had a blood test for ages Me: There's nothing wrong with me Doc: How do you know if you don't have blood tests? Bloody socialists and their amply funded public health services.

ACTV prices are going up on Sept 1st. But until Dec 31st you can buy 1, 2, 3 and 7 day passes at the old price IF you buy online at least 30 days in advance. E.g. buy a 7-day pass to use starting Sept 9th NOW for 60€ instead of 65€ when you get to Venice. Buy at @veneziaunica.
