Hospital on Monday; Hospital on Tuesday; Hospital on Wednesday…… we’re back at it, folks!
We travelled across to the Dudley Road Eye Hospital on Monday, for John to have his eyes checked. All good there, although we were late. We thought the appointment was at 10.30, only to find that it was actually at 10 o’clock! Ah well, they saw John anyway and were pleased with the current state of play.
In the afternoon, I popped over to see Mum and found that she was still under the weather and looking a bit of a poor soul. There was no-one in authority there for me to see to discuss her case, so I decided to give them a ring today. As it turned out there was no-one who wanted to talk to me today either! Might have to take another trip across tomorrow and see what’s what.
I think Mum was feeling a bit better today because I understand that she did actually get dressed this morning. I had found her in her nightie and wrapped up in a blanket when I went yesterday afternoon.
This morning we went across to Heartlands Hospital for John to have a face-to-face chat with one of the oncology doctors. John has been feeling neglected and getting ever angrier that the treatment seemed to be delayed, leading to his current situation, which is no longer the ‘curable club’.
The discussion helped a little bit, and the doctor promised a follow-up appointment in the next six to eight weeks. We set off home to try and get back in time for John to take a telephone call for a counselling session. As it turned out, John ended up taking the call sat in the back of the car on the drive, as we had been so late seeing the doctor at Heartlands.
Anyway, after the phone call John was absolutely determined to get his Lotus out and have a look to see if he could cure the problem with the engine. He got it going and it sounded alright to me!! His verdict? Firing OK on three of the cylinders, but one was still misbehaving. A bit more work yet……… he’s got to get back at it!! Fingers crossed the weather stays fine enough for him to be tinkering with it outside.
Take care everyone. God bless.
