(no subject)

eglantiere is a star and has helped me with the h/c exchange sign-up process -- in which I mean she broke it down into little words which I could understand, so now I'm good to go. I've been nominating and will sign-up and then no doubt be on here wailing, what have I done!? When the assignments go out. Such is my challenge experience, it always happens that way, and then I always end up happy in the end.

Which brings me nicely to the h/c bingo mini challenge. I was happily content with myself and my progress when I realised that Feb was a short month and I didn't actually have nearly a week to finish up and get the thing beta read. I still have plenty of time to finish writing as it's nearly done but getting it beta read will be an issue as my usual beta will be busy at work.

It was my lymphedema appointment today. My plan was to get a taxi there, and as James was finishing work early, wait for him after and get a lift back. But when I phoned to book a taxi they had none, unless I wanted taking at 12 when my appointment wasn't until 2. So, I took the bus to the town, had a wander around the shops and had a coffee, then got a taxi the rest of the way from there. Then when I got there the lympth nurse said the hospice would have sent free transport for me if I'd asked, with a free journey there and back. Oh well, something to know for next time.

Not much to say about the appointment. Just a tiny loss of fluid in one leg and increase in the other. Which is to be expected as both compression garments are far too big now so don't actually give compression. But, he's put in a script for new ones and they should be here in a fortnight as they need to be specially made to measure. Then back again in three months.
