BACK HOME FROM HOSPITAL

THe departure lingered on, they don't really rush about in hospitals unless you are hitting the deck or blood is pouring out. It seems that my past light doses of tramadol didn't bring on the nausea  which it can provoke. I saw the physio early on and got the green light as ready to go, as the medical side drugs were over £70 and i get free prescriptions we rang our pharmacy who are usually very good but with the current crisis of doctors being off sick they said that it would be up to two weeks to issue an NHS prescription, obviously this left us no choice but to accept the hospital drugs and pay up. We hit the same block with the sick not as the hospital can only cover for 2 weeks so now we've got to get in the queue to get one from them. All this and I've just saved the NHS thousands by going private. I keep hitt89ngt the3 wr9onf keys when I'm typing which again might be caused by the Tramadol medication.

We called in at Southern Cemetery on the way home as they had left a message for me, the plague on the bench had been amended and now looks spot on, for all family and friends from the Hardy side we have the 'opening of the bench on Sunday 20th September. The grass will need trimming yet again but the flowers are looking good still.

When home we got a barrage of DVD related calls but of course most people are used to Mandy answering. I had one chap phone twice when I was asleep, I phoned them back they put the phone down and then rang yet again when Mandy was home. There has been a good many on Amazon and our own shop which will mean Mandy is busy first thing tomorrow. Still feeling very light headed this evening, I had a sleep while Mandy got some shopping in this afternoon and I've loaded up the St Oswald's Pilgrimage photos on a memory stick if Mandy remembers to take them round to Jane's.

We'll probably have an early night, my leg is the size of a large log and difficult to do exercises as I should be but I haven't missed any at all. As I'm not really up to doing much more here are some more shots from last Thursday on the two cathedrals walk.
