The nurse rang shortly before we were due to go out yesterday. No definite diagnosis yet, they want husband to have an MRI scan and further in-depth neurological tests. The scan should happen within the next few weeks.... however, there's a backlog with a waiting time of up to six months for the neuro tests. Not very good but it is what it is. In the meantime, we'll be having a phone call from a key worker every 4 weeks to check how we are. And she reiterated that I can call the crisis team if I have any major concerns. Husband is just happy that he's not having his licence taken away from him in the immediate future, they consider that he's safe to continue driving for the time being.
Husband had his tooth out and moulds taken for his new dentures, he's going back for a fitting at the end of the month. We went into B&M and bought some trellis panels to improve privacy between us and the neighbour who's having the work done. I got 4 lovely t-shirts from Sainsbury's Tu range, I do like their clothes, good quality for a very reasonable price. In the big cancer charity shop no books sadly, nothing that interested me anyway. But I did see a lovely brand new, still with tags attached, pair of comfortable trainer-type shoes, no price on them so I asked one of the staff. She had a look and said "£4, is that ok?". Of course!! I also bought a "tuff" (allegedly) purple hippo toy for Betty, I wonder how long it'll last?!
Well, I suppose that's good news - sort of! At least you know you're in the system, even if the wheels are grinding slowly! And you know that you have help on hand should you need it.
ReplyDeleteSome good buys there, Sooze. I hope Betty doesn't destroy her new toy too quickly. Little minx! 🐕xx
I'm glad they're being thorough with the testing, though the potential wait time is a pain. I chased up my post op follow up appointment today ( it's now a week overdue and my stitches are due for removal). Absolutely no joy, and it looks like the infection hasn't completely gone either, so I'll be back to the assessment unit again.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant find with the shoes!
