Su day

Just the same as any other day, sitting in the relaxation chair with my leg up, once an hour, put down the foor rest and exercise  to keep my knee joint from seizing up.

Carer here earlier than yesterday morning so washed, dressed and breakfasted.

Read the news on the Internet, also did a bit of searching around.

Sandwich, crisps and a yogurt for lunch, should not eat too much salt, prevents the bone renewing. I have started to take extra vit D to hopefully encourage the bone to repair itself. Also more milk.

DD2 coming this afternoon will collect the washing and bring it back later in the week.

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.

Not a good day.

 Very foggy in parts on our journey to see DB. we had not been there long when he had another episode, the third today......so our visit was cut short. Back home we had a cup of tea and a chat, carers will be here shortly, not much for them to do as I have been out for lunch.

I have an appointment for the fracture clinic tomorrow, not looking forward to that, hope I am going to get some answers.......

I could do with a nap, I was awake in the night for quite a while........depends what's on TV tonight. 

Bright

But they tell me it's very cold.

Carer was later this morning, all done and dusted. Have managed to sort out stuff for DB tomorrow.  He now needs trackies and a tee shirt, sorry but I doubt I can get into the bedroom to get them. I doubt I will get the true story re his consultation!

DD2 was here this morning, she helped me with a couple of things before going into Leicester to do a rummage.........

Onwards

Did not sleep so well last night, woke just before the carer came. Washed, dressed and breakfasted. Egg & cress sarnie for lunch, easy peeler for dessert. I have found the two things DB has asked for, so, in the bag with his books. Just have to sort out and print a document for Dr Lakani for next week. Will have to get DD2 to switch on the printer tomorrow so I can print it off.

Not sure about supper, plenty in the freezer. So that's about it for today.

Monday, Monday

Start of another week, am beginning to get bored, fed up of reading, nowt on TV.......so have been making some decisions..........lots of things swirling around in the head.

Carer has been, washed, dressed and had breakfast, pineapple, back to weetabix tomorrow. DD2 is bringing the washing back and also some supplies.

Hope to get to see DB this week, he is asking for several things, how he thinks I am going to get to them I really do not know, although I can move around its very unsteady, no wish to fall........

Not a good nights sleep, too much thinking going on....might have a nap during the day, see how I feel.

Banking sorted out, after a few mad moments it tallied thankfully, it always hisses me off when I cannot get it to balance first time, I have to start sorting through. Companies do not help by not taking money on due days!!

CC bill paid off in full, no plans to spend on it.........

Bin men have been and emptied the bin and put it back.

Sandwich at lunch time, will have the rest of DGS's goulash for supper.

Off to do some more thinking and see if I can find a group that will take the remains of my quilting stuff and also some templates I have.

Sunday

Getting a bit better each day, trying to increase my mobility a bit more each day, so far so good. Will see what they say say the hospital on Friday.

Spending quite a bit of time reading, watching some TV but not much.

Carers come and go, as do DD2, DGS and his partner, they are keeping an eye on me. E loves the walker, she puts the brakes on and sits on the seat. When DGS comes later, I will get him to start the car and check everything is OK. DD2 took a load of washing, she will bring it back tomorrow when she comes. I am ru ring out of underwear.

I am still sleeping in the sitting room, might try tomorrow to see if I can get into bed, might sleep better in there, will have to see.

That's it for today folks............more later.
