Back home very briefly to collect prescriptions from the doctors and check post - several anniversary cards but still no letter from the memory assessment clinic. I know they're very busy (they said so) so there's no point in badgering them, it'll come when it comes. It's just a pain in the neck waiting for results etc, although staying at the caravan in this perfect weather is helping to take our minds off things. Saw the neighbour who's throwing the afternoon tea party for us, 3pm on Sunday so we'll come back home for that Sunday morning. Whether we go back to the van Sunday evening or Monday morning remains to be seen, depends on how long the party goes on for I guess! Apparently 3 sets of neighbours are coming to the party so far, J is still waiting to hear from another 2 or 3. We're going to be in J's garden, she has a large and pretty garden, she said we may be playing petanque or bowls! (neither of which I've played before, should be interesting). Driving back to the caravan after lunch today.
We're going out for lunch at a pretty riverside pub tomorrow, that'll be our anniversary lunch although our anniversary is actually on Saturday - we don't want to have a meal out on a Bank Holiday Saturday, it'll be too busy. Daft decision to get married on a bank holiday, we've regretted that date ever since purely because it's Whitsun week and everyone's on holiday meaning it's always busy wherever we want to go! 😂 For Saturday we're having tea and cake with our van neighbours in the afternoon, followed by fish and chips for dinner - odd I guess but it's a treat as we very rarely have takeaways now.
It's been a lovely week so far....we went to Tyntesfield House, a National Trust property near Bristol on Monday, had a picnic lunch in Clevedon by the beach Tuesday, out for a long drive through pretty villages we've not visited before yesterday, taking another picnic with us. In between we've planted up pots in the van garden - petunias and geraniums - and put up the gazebo, so the garden is looking lovely, I'll take some photos before we come back home.
I've decided not to go to my physiotherapy classes as my hips aren't giving me so much trouble now, since I've been doing my home exercises. Well guess what, when I rang physio this morning to cancel my 3 booked classes, they couldn't find any record of me on the first class - although my name was down for the 2nd and 3rd...although at different times to the times they'd originally given me and that were written on my calendar! Honestly, I've had so many appointments cancelled and/or changed by them - never by me - that I've come to the conclusion the entire physio department is in utter chaos and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Complete waste of time, I have absolutely zero faith in them now.
I'm glad you have been having a good week. The weather has been ideal and not too hot all the time for Betty. I agree with you about the physiotherapy appointments in Somerset!!! The department's are chaotic and in my case a waste of time when I have been. I have a knee replacement operation on the 3 June ( fingers crossed ) The exercise sheets and YouTube exercises are the way to go. Glad your hips are less painful. Are they better depending on your diet too I wonder?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're having an enjoyable week. If the exercises you're doing are helping, just carry on with them and ignore the physio. It does seem that they're very chaotic! xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really lovely week. How wonderful that there are games to play. That will make being around people a bit easier I would imagine.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Happy anniversary to you both! Have a great weekend.
