Tonsil stones

Jacqui from Dinsdale

Does any one know how tonsil stones can be treated (on an adult)? One solution is a tonsillectomy, but I've heard that this can be treated by 'laser skimming' of the throat tissue where the stones form. Is there any one in Hamilton that you know that does this laser treatment? Any… View moreDoes any one know how tonsil stones can be treated (on an adult)?

Personal and home are providers.

Diane from Grandview Heights

I’ve had it with personal care providers. We have been with a company for five years and it’s the worst service we have ever experienced.

They are supposed to provide us with two carers, morning noon and one at night, I’m the second person at night. My mum needs two people, because of the no lift policy.
We have a roster that is nearly filled. Lately they have been leaving the rest empty, like today there is nobody coming for lunch to see to mum. I have to then ring which takes sometimes ten to twenty minutes for them to answer the phone. Then we speak to a lady who has to then pass a message on to the coordinator in Hamilton to get something sorted. Now that works if they answer their phone. I’ve actually had to find the help myself after talking to the carers that already care for my mum.
I’ve heard from different carers that the care that is given to people with dementia is not good. One person went without dinner because of bad management. I’m tearing my hair out each day wonder if they’ve covered mums care. I’m retired, I did this for a living, I don’t need to be stressed out organising their business for them.
Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat.

Cyclists & cycleways

Gary from Glenview

Can anybody please enlighten me as to why this council spent millions of ratepayers money on a shared footpath/cycle way along Kahikatea drive and Ohaupo rd and then spend more money on installing painted cycle ways as well.

I had to travel from Glenview to Chartwell and return 3 times last Tuesday. The first trip at 8 am and the last at 4-30 pm. All told on those 3 trips I counted 12 cyclists and 9 of them were riding on the footpath. (Not a lot of cyclists to see considering the miles I travelled and at peak times as well)
Now I don’t have a problem with that but I do wonder if 75% of cyclists are using the footpaths why do we need these ridiculous money wasting marker pegs everywhere narrowing even tight and narrow streets and corners. It must be a nightmare for trickiest Traffic would flow a lot better without these hazardous marker pegs everywhere
Am I alone in wondering why the council is pandering to a very small minority eg cyclists?
Look forward to your feedback
