HOSPITAL DAY

Hello Everyone.....again I`m late with my entry.  No matter, today I`ve had  physio on my elbow, and guess what?  One week on and the exercises and ultrasound appear to be working.  I`m so pleased because on Monday I have to go for the Nerve Conduction tests and I`m hoping they will say all is well.  I`ve already decided that that I won`t have more surgery.  I just can`t see how more surgery would help remove the internal scar tissue, and how do they know that it wouldn`t cause me more pain, no thanks, I`ll take my chances as I am.  I go back for more ultrasound in 10 days and I have to admit that as it is helping I am actually looking forward to it!

I`m still not feeling to great because now I have a painful throat and swollen glands.  It hurts when I swallow and it reminds me of the times I`ve had tonsillitis.  Hmmm....I`d rather not have that again thank you very much!  Unfortunately, when the glands in my throat swell, so do the glands in other parts in my body, I don`t know if I`m alone in in this, but it`s certainly uncomfortable.

Kerry drove me to the hospital because we were going to the garden centre cafe for coffee and cake later.  The hospital carpark is a nightmare and certainly isn`t designed for people who are ill, which is unfortunate under the circumstances.  The hospital isn`t large in comparison to ones in the cities, but large enough.  The carpark is very small .  So round and round we drove, round and round and round, until eventually we found a gap to park in...AND the nice lady who left the gap gave us her parking ticket too. Which we later passed on to the person who drove into our gap as we were leaving!

When I got home I planted the last few azaleas that I bought weeks ago, but was waiting until they had stopped blooming.  That done I watered the flowerboxes at the front of the house. It was supposed to have been raining all day but someone obviously got that wrong....what a surprise lolol!  But judging from the colour of the sky it will probably pour down very soon. I watched the last two episodes of Desperate Housewives last night. Very good they were too, though I knew what was going to happen from reading an American journal, we were a couple of weeks behind with the series!  That`s it now, there`s nothing on TV that I like to watch now.  Hope something new comes along soon, I don`t watch TV much at the best of times.  Just the odd drama series and Have I Got News For You, and that`s only half an hour a week.

Well that`s the lot for today. Take care and have a great day.  Bye for now. :-)
