Hospital visit

Only just ready when the Ambulance came. We went half way round the town to pick up another patient who eventually did not come, they could not get his electric wheelchair in. Just a few minutes wait, I was taken for an Xray and then in to see the consultant. I now have a splint I can bend my knee in. Back to see the specialist in 4 weeks. No weight bearing till then. I was told I would have to wait till 4pm for a ride home.....what!!  About half an hour later I was contacted and told that they were paying for a taxi for me. The clinic closed at 12.30, I was shoved into a draughty corridor to wait....... 2 hours later the taxi picked me up and brought me back arriving just before 4pm. Had just got in when the the carer arrived. DD2 came with fish and chips, very nice. Spent a quiet evening watching TV.

Dgs coming later today with supplies. DB continues to have blackouts, he sees the specialist on Tuesday.

  1. Sorry for the tacky push into the hallway to wait for the taxi and sorry for the long wait for the taxi. Head shaking here.
    Yippee! You can bend your knee now!! Hope the splint is more comfortable and you can get around more easily.
    Oh, dear. Sorry to hear that DB is blacking out. Does this happen only when he is upright or even when lying down?
    Cheers for the family members making your life easier and tastier!
    Rain here this morning and it's cold. A bit north of us there is ice and snow, but not here. Whew!

    Hugs!
