Early awakening this morning. The doorbell went, not that I heard it..poor Vin had to jump up to answer it, and it was the delivery of injections that I take every two weeks. Aranesp...something to do with the absorbtion of iron in the body. Horrible little injections they are as well..I do my insulin twice a day and don't think avbout that at all, but this one really hurts, Hate them..good job it is every two weeks. Funny little syringes too, you open it up, insert the needle press the plunger then remove and the needle springs back into the syringe. Very clever. Anyway, that got us up early.
I had an appointment over the road at the Dr's with the nurse for a Blood Pressure test, so Vin went to see if he could get his fence post. Nothing at Homebase, so he decided to go to the Garden Centre over the bypass to see if they had what he wanted.And , of course, to get our free coffees for August.
Nursey was quite pleasant, did my BP twice and chunnered away to the computer screen. I did keep telling her to speak up a bit, and eventually gave up. Just not worth the hassle.So I sit there saying what I think is yes or no in the right places..Scream really, they must think I'm a complete eejit!! What they should do is red fl;ag on your computer notes to:
1. Look at the patient when you are speaking
2. Speak clearly, not necessarily loud or shouting
3. Remember not to look at the computer screen when discussing notes, medications etc.
So, Nursey was asking me about the Diabetic clinic and when I last went, which was february, so she said that they need to do the follow up appointment..Oh God..another one!! So she makes an appointment for next Tuesday...Once they get you they really get you!!
Went from there to the Garden Centre.. very busy and noisy, and full of couples with men in beige anoraks..Vin said he is never ever going to buy a beige anorak! He has been looking for a new summer jacket for years but hasn't found anything that he likes. There actually does seem to be an awful lot of men's Beige coats out there.
At the moment he is up in the loft again because he suspects that the leak in the bedroom has started again. The problem was with the water tank which was repaired some weeks ago. So he is cjecking what is going on.
Tonight we are having:
Cornish Pasties with gravy,
Green vegetable medley
Squashed potatoes.
