turpsAfter a few weeks of weather that was turning autumn like, summer has returned with a vengeance. It was 26 degrees when I was out earlier, blazing sunshine and I was so hot walking around that I looked like a tomato. It is lovely being in the garden in this heat, though. So much nicer reading with an ice cold pepsi max than walking around.
Which we had to do earlier as James had two hospital appointments. The first was just to check on his wrist. There's nothing wrong with it but his doctor likes to keep him in the system just in case, so he gets a quick check up every 6 months. Today though, one of his junior doctors was sent in at first, and the poor guy, he obviously had no idea about AMC or what he was supposed to be looking at or asking. He went out pretty sharp and the consultant came in, had a quick look at James' hand and then they just had a natter about general stuff for five minutes.
After that it was a walk down to another department to pick up his new foot splint. Sadly, while it fits his foot beautifully, it doesn't fit elsewhere so it's gone back to be modified, so we'll pick that up next week sometime. Then it was off to Newcastle to drop a computer lead off to Corey, as he'd gone back without it.
And talking of Corey. He moved in to his house on Friday, on Saturday they had a neighbour complain about noise. Sigh. They're going to have to remember they're not in halls now, so need to be considerate of the people around them. They did apologise and turn the music down, though. I'm sure they must be the neighbour's worst nightmare as there's a drum kit in the bay window and two different guitars propped up on display. None of them are bad lads, so hopefully they'll learn to fit in noise wise -- and soon.
I was at my pre op on Monday. All went well, bloods and swabs done, medical history taken and an ecg done. Which provided the weird moment of the day. The room was divided into four curtained bays, and I had the bed next to the scales where everyone attending needed to be weighed. So I'm lying there, wires and pads on my chest, legs and arms, shirt pushed up against my neck and bra on display, when the nurse opened the curtains too wide and gave everyone at the scales a good show. It could have been worse, though. Talking to the forum people most ecgs are taken with no bra on, at least I was spared that.
An excellent tv night tonight with both Bake Off and the start of the parlympics, something I'm really looking forward to watching. So roll on the window open, a cold drink and some good tv to watch.

*giggles* I'm sure they'll learn. And maybe even before their neighbours completely loses their patience :-)
Hooray for the pre op going well!

I hope they do learn. It's a huge difference from going from halls, and especially Corey's halls which was known as the party halls, to a residential area.
Thank you!

Date: 2016-09-09 05:43 am (UTC)Summer has returned (or never really left) here too. It was comfortable for a couple days, and now it is back to unbearably hot and humid.
Did you see Frank has a new solo album coming out? He always does interesting things, so I am cautiously optimistic.

I did. I'm looking forward to hearing his latest offering.
