The fox cub plays hide and seek

 

Hello mr fox

 

A quieter week hospital wise.had not

 yesterday I had no hospital appointments, the gardener did not turn up the day before and as he is new and had not responded to any of my text, I took it he did not really want to do my garden. So I did it myself, the new lawn mower worked a treat and was easy to push along. I have a flymo but struggle with this. I was well pleased when I had finished, and as it was a better day health wise I was able to do it all in one go.

But on putting the mower away, stupid me missed my footing on the steps and I fall. I sat up On the ground,  but no bones broken , I could get up, the joe wicks online exercise sessions most be working, although weight wise they are not. I have a lot of cuts and scratches on my legs, which will take time to heal, due to my age, they are quite sore my legs. But I am still in one piece.

I am tired today perhaps because of the fall, so not much to report, just showered and plaster my legs up. My one through is from yesterday I wish I could have a dog, like the guide dogs , not sure what you call them but one that could be there if I get stuck and need help. Tried to look up where I can do this but does not seem to be.

Week of hospital visit to none

 Last week I was never away from the hospital, firstly there was the visit to the fracture clinic at the local hospital. My sister was with me and up until now we had been allowed to get her. Not this time the nurse on people control , said it was going to be too busy and could my sister wait in the cafe. This was the first time I had been since they started to lift all Covid restrictions. It was busy, full of children and parents, kids with broken arms , legs etc. Then mr and mrs joe bloggs and the older people. I was called and as usual sent to x rays, here you book in again the details have gone across from the fracture clinic, then you sit and wait. Again it was busy, here you have waiting the outpatient from a and e, the outpatient from everywhere else and of course the wards. I was called quite quickly considering the amount of people, and here you are moved to another chair to sit and wait outside x rays. It’s called music chair and wait.

Again I was in to x rays fairly quickly, greeted by a very cheerpy young x Ray person. Because I have cancer in the shoulder joint I have xrays here and than for the pelvic upper leg area, to make sure the holes in the upper leg bones have not got any bigger.

Than it’s back to fracture clinic to wait for the doctor. This was fun the nurses where starting to panic , I could hear we are running 20 mins behind and this is only after an hour, it’s only 10am. Then they could not decided where to sit the patients with masks to the parents with out masks, after a great debate they moved us all around. Finally I was called, after watching one lady go in fast because she told the nurse she could not possibly wait , she has too much to do. For me nothing new stable. My cartilage in the shoulder joint had now eroded and in time I will feel a lot more pain here. The legs stable.

Next day to the hospital for bloods, they do like their bloods. More sitting, more waiting and more needles. I am hard to get blood from so I hate this part. Some nurses are really good and get the vein, others are not. They have music on and sing and dance to side track you, it’s quite a chirpy section.

Treatment the day after, again more waiting, now that Covid is being reduced, the seems to be more waiting about, I use to be in and out.
