The drive into hospital yesterday was a nightmare. Clearly there
was an awful lot of last minute Christmas shopping to be done. The traffic jam
started a mile or so out of the city.
We tried to avoid some by going through the village of
Torrisholme but we just joined another queue.
Once in Lancaster we avoided the main shopping/car parking
streets & went through the more residential streets as much as we could. But
eventually we had to descend the hill to rejoin the mayhem. By then we were nearly
out of the shopping area. We went onto the next roundabout to find that almost
at a standstill as people from the south of Lancaster were trying to stream in
for their shopping. Eventually we were able to get around it to exit for the
hospital. Fortunately we found a disabled parking space near Oncology. We
eventually arrived nearly half an hour late.
If we’d realised the traffic was going to be that bad we would
have taken the bypass & tackled Lancaster from the east side.
I was sat for my treatment next to a fellow patient &
commented how bad the traffic was. She hadn’t found it too bad. She’d come from
Quermore, a village on the Pennine slopes to the east of Lancaster, the side
the hospital is & so hadn’t had the ordeal of trying to cross the city to
reach the hospital.
My next trip in will be on Friday, when hopefully I should get
the results of the CT scan. Hopefully the traffic should be a bit quieter by
then. Or will there be a big rush for the sales instead?
In between times it will be Christmas so I will take this
opportunity to wish all my readers
HAPPY CHRISTMAS
