A busy week stretches
ahead. Already I’m anticipating the aches to come.
Today we’re off to
the hospital once more. It’s physiotherapy time once again for the Fox. We’re
left to wonder what agony Rick has in stall for him today.
Tuesday sees a visit
from Social Services. We get respite vouchers every year. We use these for
paying for Linda, our home help. It’s renewal time. Before any vouchers get
issued they like to visit to check they are aware of any changing needs. As far
as I can see the only changes in the last year are that I’ve ceased to have
osteoporosis & the Fox has gained osteoarthritis in his hip. If anything
our need for some help has grown.
Wednesday will be
food shopping as usual – a tedious but necessary task.
Thursday is Linda’s
visit. Our house has never shone so much as it does now. Mirrors positively
gleam. Doors have been scrubbed with an old toothbrush to get every bit of
grime from the corners of the panels.
Then on Friday it’s
off to the surgery. Every year they like us to have our annual MOT – a blood
let & blood pressure check, general health advice session. In this way they
monitor my Chronic Kidney Disease and hypothyroidism, & the Fox’s angina
and probability of another stroke. Hopefully all will go well. At least we’ve
got the most sensible of the nurses to do the job, always a good start.
As I say, it’s a busy
week ahead. No doubt we will also manage to squeeze in a visit to the library,
the village pub & the golf club too. I certainly hope so.
