Going back to yesterday and my run in with the hospital. I had another phone call from the hospital this morning informing me that as the clinic had far less patients than had been expected, would I like to go along half an hour earlier! Well....yesterday I was told that the clinic was cancelled as to staff shortages. THEN I was told that the clinic was NOT being cancelled but was being reduced in size, but as I had a problem I would be allowed to attend. NOW they are saying that there are not that many patients attending this clinic. Hmm, methinks some sort of untruths are being told, surely not our dear NHS being dishonest... I`m shocked!
Today is a good day, cold with March winds, but good all the same, so good in fact, that I think I will treat myself and have a munch on some chocolate marzipan eggs that I bought at IKEA. I left them in the fridge because cold hard chocolate tastes the best.....yummy!
I had a letter today from a an indepent company inviting me to make a donation and to send away for their free book on advice for the over 60`s, which is very kind of them but as I`m not 53 until a fortnight`s time I think I`ll wait a few years for that one! That calls to mind a phone call I recieved from a company that makes stairlifts. I was just 50 at the time and the man on the phone asked, politely enough, had I thought of installing a stairlift in my home. ` Er no thank you, I don`t need one just yet` I replied. `Well, is there anyone else in your household who may benefit from one?` he asked ` No.....` said I ` Well, do you know of anyone else that has difficulty climbing the stairs and would benefit............` I decided to put the phone down at that point as the poor man was sounding desperate and I didn`t want him to break down and cry!

I thought for a moment that the world had gone crazy, reading those last two comments! I couldn't see what either had to do with your journal entry!! then I looked again, to see what I had missed, and I realised they were doing the Birthday Card caption thingie!! Hee hee!
I used to live in an upstairs flat that had a stairlift! It came in most handy on moving in day with heavy furniture etc! Great fun too!
