Aug. 6th, 2022 02:09 pmAfter 18 weeks waiting for what was supposed to be a three-week at most appointment, James got the date for his kidney op, the day before we're going on holiday. He's going to phone them on Monday to see if it can be changed because even though it's day case only, doing a long drive the day after having a GA isn't going to happen. Plus, no way will he be comfortable after, he needs home, rest and privacy, not a big family holiday.
Other than that it's been decluttering central here. We've done two tip runs and got rid of a load of old stuff, been to the recycle bins and generally started to get things ready for the kitchen refurbishment. The electrician did come and the price has only gone up £50 which was great. He's going to totally change the control/fuse board and bring it down to where we can access it, as right now it's ceiling height. Plus totally rejig the sockets etc so they all actually work because at the moment I can't use the dishwasher and washer at the same time as it blows the sockets if I do so.
This morning we've been to look at kitchens at B&Q and Wrens, mainly to get an idea of what storage is out there and man, if only I had unlimited money. Some of the storage options are amazing, then we went to admire American-style fridge freezers with ice dispensers, but sadly they're both too big and way out of our price range.
We've also kept up our daily walks and they've been going great. Apart from one day where we went somewhere new. When doing that I always check out accessibility websites and this one said this nature reserve had easy-to-walk trails, plus seats. Got there, and maybe there were seats but we never saw them and we ended up turning back because while James can walk increasing distances now if doing so slow and steady, he still needs to know there are benches or somewhere to rest close by, so got overwhelmed at the lack of seating. But, it happened, we're over it, and it's not like we haven't got other nice places to get our walk on.
