turpsMy MiL went home yesterday.
It was actually a good visit, though I did feel myself relax when I walked through the door last night and there was no hosting to do, room to spread out on the couch and I knew I'd be able to put the furniture back into place today.
Over the week we had some lovely drives out, took her for dinner on Thursday and she was happy to stay here with a lunch I'd left and just watch tv on the two days James had hospital appointments so all went as well as it could.
I also managed to make a big dent in the Station 19 episodes I have recorded. It's a show that I forget how much I enjoy watching until I watch it again, then end up binge-watching. This time, because my natural wake up time is around 6am and my MiL was sleeping on the couch until later than that I managed a couple of eps every morning. A little intense for so early, but enjoyable.
James' hospital appointments also went okay, nothing sinister was seen in the procedure though he does still have kidney stones/fragments and there's a possibility of more tests to check other things that may be causing the issues but the doctors need to discuss his case first as the symptoms are easing. But, that's something for the future.
He also got a new splint for his leg which is taking him a while to get used to.
I still haven't got my compression wraps and if I think of all the calls and doctor's visits I've had to make the last week about them I'd want to bang my head against my desk. Long story short, I need a tall length, the doctor and chemist said they didn't exist in the new compression strength the lymph clinic had prescribed. Two sets were ordered which would be too short, which didn't make the practice happy as they're expensive. So I called the lymph clinic who confirmed yes I needed tall, and they'd take over talking to the practice. In the end, the practice had to call the manufacturer of the wraps who said a tall was actually a long which was why no one could find it so that has been ordered, and I should get them a month after my appointment. Now to find out if that's actually true or I'll end up with something that only goes to mid-shin.
Fannish niece is working in Newcastle this weekend so came home on Thursday until Monday. I had to laugh as once my MiL found that out she was ready to go home on Thursday but of course couldn't as the wet room wasn't finished. It was lovely to see how excited my MiL was to see her though.
FN brought belated Christmas presents for everyone, including me and James which was a lovely surprise. While she did it in a dramatic and wrong way it does seem like moving out has suited her nicely and she's happy with where she is now.
Like many people, I've been importing communities from LJ to DW. My personal journal was imported years ago but I had a few comms I ran over there. I started with Sparkly Glee, the happy fic popslash challenge and that's now on here, except the stories themselves were posted on my co mods journal on LJ and linked to from the comm. They're still there so can be accessed from the backed up comm and hopefully, they'll stay that way as I'm struggling with the netiquette of saving and reposting myself as my co-mod is long gone from the journalling world.
