Having Surgery ?
Being prepared for surgery helps reduce the stress for you and your caregiver.
Lagans Pharmacy can help you…..
Your surgeon will need to know about any medicines you are taking to safety plan your procedure. We can give you an official copy of your medicines chart listing all of your medicines, the dose and directions.
Leaving hospital you will want to get home to rest. Ask the hospital staff to fax us your prescription - we can have it ready for you . Get your free medicine schedule from us to remind you when each medicine is to be taken.
Remember to eat well and drink fluids, prioritize rest. Your body needs lots of support to help repair.
We can help boost your recovery with quality supplements tailored especially for you. Take before and after surgery.
And we can check and change wound dressings, until you see your doctor.
Lagans Mobility

FAMILY OF POTHOLES
Not the biggest pothole in NZ but Alexander Road in Trentham has one of its round-abouts with a family of potholes on the roading making it difficult to avoid them.
The Upper Hutt City Council was quick and ridiculous to reduce the speed limit of all Alexander Road from 80kg to 50kg but not so quick to repair this multiple of potholes.
I must not hold my breath because nearly 4 years ago I held a discussion with the UHCC roading chief on the appalling state of the busy Ward Street road in Wallaceville and he agreed but asked me which would you prefer - fixing up Fergusson Drive or Ward Street as a priority. Well nothing has been done either to Fergusson Drive.
I am hoping the new Government with its plans to reverse some speed restrictions and introduce reducing speed restrictions on some roads, will prompt the UHCC to wake up their ideas of Alexander Road which in most part is non urban residential housing.
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
Do you think changes need made to the current process for building consent? Share your thoughts below.
