turpsI was checking my flist yesterday and was reminded that ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
mini_wrimo had started. So, I started a follow-up to my Ted Lasso Roy is a werewolf story. I've got no idea where it's going yet, but I'm having fun thinking about it.
It's a horrible day today, windy, cold and wet and I'm very glad I don't have anywhere I need to be.
Yesterday it was James' rota'ed day off, and we ended up at the doctors yet again as the night before he'd had a reaction to something that caused him to be mega itchy. He called the pharmacist first as he wondered if it was a reaction to the statin he's started to take and the pharmacist said to stop that but go see the doctor as it could be something else.
The doctor suspected it was more likely the antibiotics he'd just finished taking, but still suggested stopping the statin and restarting in a week. She also cleared up something about James' limb surgeon. Unfortunately, despite there being an AMC specialist based in Newcastle, they only see children, so James has to see different people depending on what part of his body is having an issue. He had an amazing upper limb surgeon who kept him on a rolling appointment, checking in about once a year to ensure there was nothing brewing, but that surgeon left the hospital, so James hasn't seen anyone for about two years.
So, he asked the doctor how to get re referred, and she looked at his notes and saw he'd been sent two letters last year from the surgeon, one a personal one saying the surgeon was about to retire, and he could either pass James onto a colleague, or James could pick someone himself. Then another letter months later that had been returned saying we no longer lived at our address, so James had been completely discharged from the system.
We got neither of those letters which is frustrating as while the doctor has re referred goodness knows when that appointment will come. Thankfully, he's having no issues with his arms, but it was always reassuring to have the safety net of relatively quick access to specialist help if needed.
As medical things were sorted so quickly I also got to have a quick chat to the doctor. She was a medical student when I was having Corey and was doing her midwife rotation when I was admitted, so she's known Corey for all of his life, and likes to know what he's getting up to.
Sadly, this year we had no trick or treaters, not even the little girl next door who normally comes every year. I've no idea what went on there, unless they all headed for the nearby estates, where people had gone all out in decorating. So, the sweets have been bagged up to go to James' work, apart from a bag that is Bodhi friendly.
The Christmas adverts have started to appear, I got an email about Disney UK's this morning and it's very sweet. Though not one I'd seek out again. Also an email from M&S Food which features Ryan Reynolds as a mitten, which seems very random until you read the blurb that goes with it. Oh, and Lidl's is there too. I like it, and love the sentiment again, tying into the cost of living crisis and the toy appeal.
I finished watching the reboot of QAF and of course, after I got right into it, I Googled and found out the second series isn't going to happen. Now I've started on the Interview With a Vampire tv show, only one episode so far but I'll be watching the second later.
