I have had a complete change of outlook, for the better (I think)
Recently I had an online consultation with the Practice Nurse, just to review my medications.
Although she has the authority to conduct consultation,it doesn't include medical opinion on GP level.
Since then, I have expected to receive confirmation as to being on the 'Shielding List', which is a centralised notification about needing to keep the extended isolation, and this is based on GP records and opinions. My expectation was based on the Practice Nurse saying I would probably be on it. That is why I was posting about still having many weeks to go. Some of you are probably having that prospect.
Have you had letters?
Notification has not arrived, and after hearing today on the news that the 'at risk' people had received theirs a while ago, I now believe I am not one of those needing the Shielding after all although nearer 80 than 70. Feeling cautiously quite pleased, I am not forgetting that the postal system is inundated at present and some deliveries are very delayed (I had some birthday cards a week late) So there may still be notification.
Heyho let's enjoy the sunshine!
