Goodbye...Goodbye!!

Nope not to the blog, but to the Podiatry Clinic! After all these years too,Lost count of the number of years but it must be about four by now.  Quite a number of hospital admissions with a variety of foot infections, and quite a few operations for procedures to remove toes or do various things to them, finally they seem to be on the upturn and i have been discharged into the community care now. 
We had an appointment yesterday at Aintree with them to see the doctor and surprise surprise it turned out to be Mr Butcher who has done all of the procedures so knew my feet. The toe which has been causing trouble for a bit now seems to be healing over because a while ago one of the podiatrists removed a bit of loose bone which was preventing healing  and that appears to have done the trick. it is healing over very well so he says it doesn't need any work doing to it now.  He was originally going to remove said toe and others but waiting proved the right path. Result, now discharged. 
I thought they should all have lined the corridor and clapped!!
The hospital was very odd, very quiet because of the lockdown, and the only people on the corridors were the nurses and doctors and other medical personel.  Car parking was free which was a bonusSo that saved ys £3 pleasing Vin. No Costa Coffee afterwards because of the lockdown they are all shut so it was home for our coffees, very nice too. 
Little Jack next door has been in the wars, he came home apparently with oil on him and walking awkwardly so our neighbour took him to the vets. He had lots of xrays done which apparently showed no broken bones but a deformity of the pelvis which the vet said he might have been born with. Anyway he was on cage rest, but she rang Vin up this morning to ask him if he could take a parcel in for her because she was at the vets agin, she wasn't happy with him. Hope he is ok, he is a lovely little cat, and quite often visits our back garden where Vin feed him biscuits. He has just come in to say they were back and Jack had had to have an enema oooh nasty! and he might need an operation. What a shame.
Jessie is still isolating, but on our bed , this time, not Janes bed. Vin was in the front room and she came to find him and settled on the bed. 
Isolation.
