I've only used Llandudno MI unit once - when I had a really nasty splinter which had gone down a fingernail. They were - it has to be said - superb, and had the splinter out and me driving home in under an hour.

Ruptured ligament, eh? Unpleasant.  D'you think it was aggravated by workouts, or simply something that was going to happen, anyway?

It just shows you how easy it is for accidents to happen but I'm glad that you were pleased with the Hospital treatment you had considering the circumstances the staff there have to put up with.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.     $good$

Oh, so that' s what you meant when you told me that your knee "had gone pop."

I had'nt got a clue what you meant. Fortunately the only popping I have encountered is corks out of wine bottles.

i'll try one now and toast to your speedy recovery. And no more struggling up the Orme by foot and refusing offers of a lift.

If it's your round mate, I'll find a way to get there!   :laugh:

Thanks for the kind messages all, much appreciated.

Ian, I actually think I aggravated the ligament by lots of activity recently, but I was warned many years ago after some knee surgery that I would be susceptible to this type of thing.  It soon comes around.  :(

Ah.  Aggravation of old injuries can be a real nuisance. The only bone I ever broke still nags in the cold.

Free park and ride service could end parking chaos at Glan Clwyd Hospital

PARKING chaos at Glan Clwyd Hospital could soon be over.
A free park and ride Service for Glan Clwyd Hospital will start on Monday (October 13) in a bid to ease the traffic situation at the Bodelwyddan hospital's car park

It must be the funny season in the UK as the NHS has gone mad.   We hear of delays in operations, waiting times etc etc but this week we hear of the possibility of GP's being awarded £55.00 for each person diagnosed with Dementia.   WHY?  isn't that part of their well paid job anyway.
Yesterday in the front page of the Daily Mirror it said that the NHS will hand cash and gift vouchers to obese people if they slim down.   WHY?
no one forced them to eat so much that they have become so morbidly obese.
Alcoholics already get an increase in their benefits because of their addiction so whatever next,
Smokers to get perks if they quit smoking?
It's just insane!

Strange how the Uk, bankrupt after WW2 managed to bring in the NHS.

Now with the help of the corporate tax dodgers we can no longer afford it. 

Something needs putting right but has this government got the guts to do it ?

When I returned to the area, I was surprised to find that prescriptions were free, and I wondered how this was possible, and now I wonder if it will continue.?

Like FREE bus fares, it should not continue.  It is not sustainable, nor sensible.

It's inconceivable to think that this Government or any previous Government hasn't got the brains to close all tax loopholes and make all companies and individuals pay the appropriate rate of tax.   They could do it if they wanted to but I doubt if they will and think the rich people and the large companies will continue to exploit the weaknesses in the tax system.
