Default Constant thirst


Lu-lu, have you got your little one's drinking sorted out?

A couple of thoughts I had a

How many calories is she getting per day from food and drink? She may
need more calories than she is getting, and she is trying to get them
in drinks. If that's the case, instead of giving more water, give
full fat milk or even milk with added cream or cocoa or chocolate
syrup or malt. Also good is full fat yoghurt drinks, and sweetened
mango pulp with ice cream (lassi). Or, feed her more easy-to-eat
snacks along with her drink.

If too much of her fluid consumption is plain water, keep an eye out
for water intoxication on the one hand and insufficient electrolytes
on the other.

Their new thing is that you now have to call up at 8am to make pre-bookables
as well as emergency appointments - they told me this at 10am. Yesterday,
at 9am, I'd called too early. Monday, at 10am, I had the option to come down
at 5pm to sit and wait as I'd left it too late. Last week, I could call
from 8.45 for an emergency or after 10am for a pre-bookable. My last surgery
was the same.

What gets me, is that whatever time of the day you call, they're fully
booked - what I want to know is how the hell the other patients are booking
up all the slots!


Lucy, I haven't seen an update from you, so I hope that you managed to
get in to see the GP and that everything was OK. But I'd also really
like to recommend that you write to the practice and explain that this
happened, because it sounds as though they need to review their booking
policies.


All the best,

Sarah
