I'm still seeing "BBC Four HD will be back soon" and only getting the SD version here on DVB-Terrestrial. How long is this "soon"?

In March at the pre-op I asked when I'd have the operation. I was told 'soon'. I'm still waiting.

The addition of BBC 4 HD to the PSB3 mux is bolted on to the wider
project to rebuild the code/mux facility of PSB 3 to provide all of the
BBC 1 and ITV regions (about 20-25 extra different variations in total)
in HD.
That was originally scheduled to go on line this autumn, but the Beeb
made a statement earlier this year, saying it might get delayed until
early 2023.
In other words, we may not see BBC 4 HD until that project is completed
and on air

I'm still waiting.

Do you take Warfarin? I had problems with it that disappeared when I
switched to Edoxaban.

No. The problem in my case seems to be a tendency to 'react' to things.
e.g. touching grass brings up rashes or things like burns. Been like this
all my life. I react to some things I eat as well, internally. This
internal problem has grown slowly over the years and repeated trips to the
GP got "Standard response No1" from them
"No idea, Piss Off, If it gets any worse come back and see me. (So I can
say all that again.)"
I experimented with diet and that helped a lot. But what started as the occasinal spec eventually lead to a prolapse. I now have 'good times' and 'bad times'. Each may last months.
I had to pay to go private to get any diagnosis at all.

A serious quesion: have you asked to be seen by a specialist at the
hospital? In my 20s and 30s, I had a regular skin problem which was
given various 'treatments' by different GPs in the practice. After my umpteenth visit I asked to see a skin specialist. He knew exactly how to
deal with the problem. I no longer have that problem, but have recently developed an alergy to chilli. I just avoid it.

Maybe the Scottish buggers didn't like your English accent?

It's more a question of how willing a medic is to think outside the box, often literally, because many seem to go through a box-ticking
procedure, and if your condition doesn't fit any of the common boxes,
they don't know what to do.

Unlikely. I have a rather mixed up but basically English accent,
although a Scottish name, and since coming to live here, I now have the
best doctor I've ever had.

At least you've not been stuck in an Ambulance all that time!
I'm dreading my wife having a fit that causes her to hurt herself so we
need to 999. [1] Bad enough at the best of times. But the continuing load
on the NHS has really overwhelmed the NHS people. Add in the failures to provide a Care system that can cope and it just makes things worse.
[1] She fell twice in January and badly hurt her right arm/wrist. 999 got sent us a Paramedic on a motorbike. She was very helpful, and much better than a *long* delay for an ambulance and a wait to get *into* AandE., then another *long* wait to be seen. At the best of times in our case AandE is a half-hour ride away as our town 'Community' hospital has no out-of-hours service.
Since we're talking about this *I've* been unwell also for about two years. Main symptom being internal bleeding. So as a 'carer' I now also have problems due to simple tasks like bending down or lifting making my
condition worse. GPs are only doing phone/Zoom consultations.

I am in my 80s. I feel privileged to live in a reasonably well-served
area medically speaking. Although I am reasonably fit, my wife has deteriorated from a healthy busy-bee into someone constantly in pain for which none of the prescribed medication seems to provide a silver bullet.
After ages she eventually was able to have the mri scan that we both
"knew" was most likely to identify the source of her problem. She had to
wait another fortnight to see a consultant as to the results. That will
be on Thursday. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Jim, I really feel for you. I hope things improve.
