Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Shops opening 5th April (including hairdressers). Travel restrictions on mainland Scotland lifted 26th April. SO excited!!

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Pixie my hairdresser has just phoned with an appointment. The 9 th of April at 10 30 am. I have to travel to get there but I don't care. Getting my nails done on the 26th of April unless she lets them open earlier.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

I want to get the travel restrictions lifted as I want to go down to Perth to my own home for a while. Also desperate to return to the swimming pool, but have to go into hospital first, next week, to get a beastly "pyogenic granuloma" removed from my big toe.....shudder.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Jess - well done! You will feel like a new person I don't see why nails & beauty have to wait? Its still the same "close contact" isn't it?

Roxy - that looks and sounds sore, poor you! (I looked it up). Heal quickly and get swimming again

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Pixie, It's not sore just really annoying as it bleeds a lot if it gets knocked. It's in an awkward place on my big toe so it rubs on the toe next to it. I have it covered with a gause dressing to try and keep it safe, but it does bleed at times. Will be so glad to get shot of it. I've never had bother with my feet before except for an ingrown toenail and that was sorted years ago.

How long have you had to endure this Roxy? I hope to goodness its not been the length of lockdown!

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

No, it came up very suddenly 3 weeks ago.I landed up with the emergency nurse in the middle of the night. Blood was everywhere and we couldn't stop it. So himself phoned NHS 24, she got it stopped and bandaged, told me I had to get in touch with my GP in the morning, he saw the photos of it the nurse took and got me in as an emergency patient. They operate next week.
I'd post a photo of it but it's not nice.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Wow, that must have been so scary for you both! Heavens...you'll be so glad its done and dusted. From what I'm reading they can appear anywhere on the body. Its just rotten luck yours had to be at a constant point of contact. Still, once they get it fixed, you'll be up and about for the pools opening.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Yes I hope so, just keep your fingers crossed nothing goes wrong, like the operation gets cancelled or some other pesky thing.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Roxy you'll be glad to get the operation over with. Then you can get back to your swimming again. Pixie I cant wait to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed as well.
