One step forward….

We have had a day of ‘not a lot’ and we have mostly felt tired today. One step forward, two back?

We were up early and trotted off to Heartlands so that John would have his immunoglobulin infusion this morning. I dropped him off and got back home, just as the Heart Foundation arrived to collect our old dining chairs. That’s one bit of clutter out of the way anyway.

I made a cuppa and thought I’d quickly phone the hospital appointments line to see what was happening about my eye referral. ‘You are in a queue. You are Number 28.‘ Ha! So much for a quick phone call. The upshot was that they can see the referral on the system and it turns out it’s a ‘regular’ one rather than ‘urgent’ which I had originally understood it to be. “There is a waiting list,” said the appointments co-ordinator. “What timescale am I looking at then? Six months? Twelve months?” Apparently it’s 18 months.

I went into ‘I’ll sue’ mode if the cysts in my eye turn out to be cancerous….. and naturally, I was then on the phone to the optician to see if there’s anything they can do speed the appointment up. I am awaiting a reply.

I collected John from the hospital and we came home for a bite to eat. John popped the telly on and sat and watched ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ while I promptly fell asleep, only waking up two and half hours later ready to cook some tea.

John spent some time on the computer, trying to establish a connection with a company from whom he’d bought some toys for the children, via Wowcher, and not yet received. Apparently, there’s a bit of a wait before he can speak to anyone about it….

We did Quiz Night this evening which was great fun. Lovely to see everyone and share stories as well as our knowledge.

And that was us today, folks! Tired again now, and off to bed.

Take care everyone. God bless.
