I was filling in a form for a medical procedure I need to have (even me, Queen of Over Sharing, won’t give you TMI on this one #piles) and a couple of the questions confused / amused me.

There was a section about have you ever had or are you being treated for:

Angina or chest pain
High blood pressure
Heart attack
etc etc etc

But then:

Swollen Ankles or Heart Failure

Now I might not have any medical training – but to me those things are pretty different?  Swollen ankles when pregnant / on a flight / if you’re born with any Homer genes and afflicted with cankles, seem fairly minor, and not in the same magnitude as heart failure?!?

There was also a section asking do you require assistance for:

Feeding
Transportation
Toileting
Dressing
Walking
Stair Climbing
Bathing
Meal preparation

I managed no for the first ones – but ummed and ahhed over the final one, but concluded they didn’t mean ‘do you have your own Mrs Patmore?’ so I plumped for no!!
