Getting things done

It's off to the surgery again this afternoon. This time it's for my blood pressure. You may remember before Christmas it was rather high, so they we want to check it again. At least we've got past the stresses caused by the deaths & illness that beset us & our friends then. Some problems haven't entirely resolved themselves but the level of stress has reduced. The only real cause of anxiety at the moment is our own health, mine in particular. Hopefully my blood pressure should be more normal. The results of the tests from my GP visit last week are not expected until nearer the end of the week, then we should be closer to knowing the cause & hopefully some treatment which is more efficacious at easing some of my aches & pains.

Monday we ended rushing into Lancaster to sort out some glasses for the Fox. The arm had come off his reading pair & he ended up feeling unable to do anything, to cook, to read, anything. In Lancaster one of the opticians do a one-hour service so into Lancaster we went. Of course the person who makes new specs up was on holiday while it is so quiet in the post-Christmas period. They did manage to at least do a temporary job affixing a mismatch arm on. Hopefully that will last until the 2 new pairs he's ordered will be ready later in the week. He's decided on 2 pairs in the thought he shouldn't be stranded if one pair breaks. They surely can't both break at the same time! No harm in hoping. And, of course, it will mean another trip into Lancaster later this week.
