@variablepulserate In my case a gastroenterologist had requested blood tests and one showed deficiency anaemia, hence the need for the infusion. This is most awkward, it's not yet clear why I'm lacking iron, it was only 4 months earlier that I needed such a procedure done. Previously, since 2021 it had been needed annually.
There’s a rather neat device from a company in Austria that’s wending its steady way to my place. This clever gadget analyses USB-C cables that are connected to it to determine which and how many pins are connected. It then runs tests to evaluate the power handling capability and data transfer rate of the cable, if it’s a power and data one or just a charging cable.
I woke on Monday morning with a severe irritation in my left eye. I already had an appointment with the doctor so while in his room got him to check it out. Viral conjunctivitis was the diagnosis. I have an ointment which I apply every 3 to 4 hours. It brings considerable relief.
In my outdoors working life I sustained fractures to five fingers, four of which are now affected by arthritis. Of those, three are exceedingly painful at present, indicating a change in the weather is iminent.
Had the iron infusion a bit over 12 hours ago. it's going to take a couple of weeks to fully take effect, though.

@matigo The nearest to being painful is when the cannula is fitted and when cold saline is used to flush the lines.
Four months.that's all it lasted. I had an iron infusion on March 17th. I have an appointment with the gastroenterologist tomorrow, he tells me I need another iron infusion.
I repeated the dinner from Sunday using leftovers but this time I used more meat. There’s enough gravy, parsnip, carrot and mushy peas for one more feed and enough roast lamb for probably three more meals.
There’s meat is a rolled lamb loin that’s about 150 mm long and 65mm diameter. Apart from a tiny fat cap, it’s all meat.
Had a quite tasty dinner tonight. Roast lamb in brown onion gravy, with mushy peas and roasted parsnips and carrots. Plenty of lamb left over with enough veggies alone for another meal.
