I was up at silly o'clock to get the bus to the hospital. It did though enable me to sit on a bench in the sun and make a call whilst waiting to go inside the hospital.
Today was a first visit to the Chest Pain Clinic were the lovely Louise took care of me. She did simple things that made a difference ... she told me her name for starters... she was considerate and respectful I even managed a peak at my heart beating on the screen !!! It was making some right old squelching noises. Infact I said to Louise, ooh that sounds wet to which she replied "that's good given the blood that's surrounding it " !!!!! Apparently my old ticker is in good condition ready for next week.
Next was Count Dracula's department, having blood taken. I was in and out quite quickly. And then I was home again after my excursion on the bus.
I had the urge to mow the lawn today, the first time for about 2 months. I took it really slowly, had fun putting lines in, circles in just because I can. Also hacked the plants as they're dying off now. My huge huge thistle had the chop. It gets bigger and wider every year this bad boy does. Whilst cutting other plants down, Titty started to object and I was getting some discomfort. It's the most physical exercise of my upper body for a while apart from physio. I had the mad urge to carry on, but I did the sensible thing and tidy up and put everything away.
Filled up the dog bowl with clean water for the passing dogs.
I tried to have a little sleep which I did briefly but didn't want to stay too long in the bed as i'd not be able to sleep tonight. Chances are I may not sleep tonight anyway, but I'm giving myself a chance.
I've continued filling in forms, searching for documents and sending emails off regarding financial stuff. I can do no more at the moment.
Its been a busy week with 2 long days earlier on so I know I'm going to be resting up the next few days with just my last hospital appointment tomorrow at 3 ish.
I've also continued to battle with Lightroom. I can lighten my photographs and titivate them, but I can't then see them in the photobook software .... more research to be done. I have 2 days left of a free book offer so I really want to get the main photos done.
