Aug. 9th, 2016 01:03 pmHad unexpected good news just now when my uncle phoned to say nanna was going home. Last I heard she was going to be discharged this coming weekend after a new caring system had been put in place, but it seems that's happened much faster than expected so she'll be home later this afternoon.
She's doing okay. Still very frail but as long as she's taking her new meds the heart issues should be under control for the moment. She does have to have carers three times a day now, so morning, dinner time and night, and my uncle is arranging to have a stairlift put in. Nanna will have to pay for that, but getting one from social services seems like it's going to be impossible and the council will take 6 months to arrange, which is far too long.
So yes, great news.
Last Friday I went to see Suicide Squad. James had won the tickets in a radio competition so it was at a different cinema than usual. It's actually our local cinema in Sunderland, but we prefer the Odeon so travel to MetroCentre instead. It was four tickets but everyone we asked couldn't come -- maybe they were trying to tell us something D: -- so we went on our own in the end. Of course I had my usual worry about not fitting in the seat, especially as they were just the normal kind and not premier, but all was fine. Really, whatever happens in the future I suspect I'll always have those worries, they're just too engrained now.
It was a fun night with cos-players outside of the cinema, though I was a little surprised to see we were seated only two rows back from the screen, which was a bit weird. As for the movie itself ( spoilers )
Jacie just linked to this over at popcomm. Everyone from Nsync celebrating JC's 40'th birthday. Be still my little sparkly heart. That made me very happy to see.
Now I'm going to go back to writing my terribly indulgent Musketeers spacefic. And while doing that ignore the fandom, all of which seems to hate the last episode and lots my favourite character. Though what is weird, while the show is slashy is all hell, I'm enjoying the het ship most seem to dislike with a passion.
