Thought we were doing well!

Yet another appointment for moi this morning. This time at the Nephrology clinic at 12.00. We left the house at aboput 11.10 and actually got there very quickly. Vin went to park the car and I gave my letter in at the desk. Waiting room was heaving..people everywhere but my name was called in a few minutes actually. Went round to clinic 6 and did the weight, blood pressure and sample bit then sat round the corner to wait. Stayed around half an hour before the Dr called me in. She spent a lot of timelooking at the computer, going over things that had been happening,iron levels still a bit low, so she ordered another blood test to be done and that was it. Went round the corner to where the bloods are done..Horrors! massive great queue, I took a ticket and I was 74 and they were on 62 !! Be prepared for a long wait!! so I sat and waitied for an age, gave Vin a ring to say that I was stuck in the blood test queue which was good. Used the mobile for a proper call!  Eventually...got into the bloods room, it moved really slowly, and went down to the foyer and rang Vin again. he was actually in front waiting Bless Him. He took us to a deserted car park and we had a nice coffee and biscuit to put us on. Well it was 1.30 ish.
Decided to drive towards home and go up to Tesco for some basics. he said he would run in and get them it would be quicker. Probably right. Told him to get some nice sandwiches so he got a meal deal, then I got worried because he said he was wiloted again after that little trip!! he still isn't over his man cold, but his cough is better. Aaah he's had a real dose of it. Stayed in all weekend so we had other things than pizza. Made a change actually.
Funny thing was on the way home we went over a canal bridge at Aintree which is never closed. Today...it was! typical..three big barge type boats going through, and all you can do is wait. Cars behind us tooting and blowing their horns! What did they think we were going to do..take a flying leap over the canal and the barges!! Stupid.
Tonight we are having:
Something out of the freezer
Mixed veggies
Baby potatoes
White sauce with mushrooms.
